Product Description

This electronic replica of Frodo's Sting sword emits an eerie bluish glow whenever Orcs are nearby. This authentic Sting sword replica was cast from molds used to create the original movie prop used in Lord of the Rings trilogy. Crafted in the ancient Elven tradition, the Sting sword blade has a brushed metal finish with a trans-reflective silver coating that looks like metal when it is not activated. The core of the permanently attached polycarbonate blade glows brightly when activated with the flick of a switch. The die-cast metal handle has a wood-grain pattern and silver leaf filigree accents, reminiscent of third age Elfish decoration. The sliding switch on the handle toggles among 3 modes: "OFF," "ON," and "ORC." If the switch is in the "ON" position, the Sting sword emits clash and clang sounds when struck. In "ORC" mode the Sting sword hums and glows blue as a warning that Orcs are in the vicinity. Frodo's Sting sword is replicated in the exact "Hobbit" proportions as the original prop.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most impressive toy sword I've ever seen, January 16, 2007

My son loves Lord of the Rings.

I bought this for him expecting another plastic sword.

Instead it is a beautiful reproduction, with an appearance of real metal, and a weight to it that feels just right. The sword lights up in the most incredible fashion, where what looks like solid metal glows with a blue light. I don't know how they did that but it is an amazing effect.

This sword is awesome and worth the $. It looks real, and it feels real in your hand. Even though the blade is composite/plastic, it looks like shining steel until you look closely and see that the edge is not sharp. Turn it on, and the blue glow appears to emanate from deep within the sword. The glow is completely even so it doesn't just look like someone put a light bulb inside a piece of plastic. The blade is reasonably durable, and the harder you hit things, the more "clanging" sound you'll hear. It actually sounds like what you image a sword might. A note of caution - and this should be expected; the instructions do warn you about hitting other hard items. I haven't been willing to experiment too much in this regard, but thus far I have not damaged the blade.

Overall a great novelty. If you're considering it for a kid who loves to sword or lightsabre fight, I'd look elsewhere as I'm sure it will not stand up to this treatment... Unless they appreciate LOTR enough to recognize it's "value".

My Son is a sword nut (8 years old), it has been his dream to have a real sword, unfortunatly he would also like to run around swinging it.


I was amazed at this sword and how well it looks. With the metal handle and the balance it is very close to handling a real one.


I am just very impressed.
