Makes me wonder about licensing or lack thereof....however they do look pretty good.

Thank goodness they're made from casting plastic and foam...me and that ebony war axe were just about to go on a spree through the neighborhood!

There is probably some loop hole they jumped through.

Thought you meant when you were wandering through your neighbourhood!

If that was true, you could have put a bucket on the clerks head and began to steal everything.

I usually stumble on my walks home from the bars, but you've stumbled onto some very good quality fan replications.

Loophole? This?

"Alright and here’s the build of the Ebony War Axe. I started out with the same base as always: Printing the ingame graphics and working with them."

I've thought of printing little hand made books of some of the in game Elder Scrolls books, particularly some from Morrowind, but never with the intention of selling them. Only to be given away to friends.

I'd be afraid of attempting something like this...obviously potentially asking for trouble...not sure if Bethesda would even care, however it does seem like a violation of copyright, or trademark laws.

There could be some slight design that makes them very similar to the Skyrim versions, but not the same thing. I don't know obviously they are getting away with it.

Well they are for now. But since EF has brought it to this forum maybe something will come of it. I can understand making something for personnel use but I'm not sure how I feel about them selling a product that they only replicated and didn't create themselves. Wasn't there a fan art a while back of a girl who made masks and other Skyrim attire? I thought she might have pondered selling her items as well but never actually did. I'm curious as to what Bethesda's take on this is.

Making them from printed game material is edgy...saying he is doing it and marketing them as 'from Skyrim' is going deep into the wrong side of the law. But unless gamesas has any real plans for licensing 3d replicas they would be best served to let it go. A cease and desist just makes at least one unhappy person and doesn't affect their revenues or branding in any positive way. Now, if they find somebody injection molding them in China and selling them by the boatload that's a revenue stream worth seizing control of.

By the way...hand made Elder Scrolls books...how freakin' cool is that? I am playing Skyrim as a nomad character to fight off my usually overpowering hoarding instincts in RPGs. Very successful in almost every way...but Lydia is toting around forty pounds of books I just can't part with.

I can drink this Kool-aid. Well put.

Hmm. Considering the picture of an in-game shop counter, and things like the Amulet of Zenithar (labeled as such, and copying the in-game appearance), I'd say they should get a call from Beth.

...also, it's disappointing. They have no http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EpicFlail.

These are pretty nice looking but I wish they had a replica of Keening.

Nice!

That Stalhrim and Dragonbone dagger looks sick.

I assume you mean besides the fact that http://www.folkenstal.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/axe3.jpg.

Good to know I'm not the only one that thought EF had actually stumbled upon this shop while wandering the magical world in which he lives.

yes that image is certainly photoshopped.. the blade looks almost like its made out of a fabric..

Oh you aren't alone. When I saw the title I immediately thought of a couple streets where I would go to look for such a shop...though I wouldn't call the seedier part of Hollywood a 'magical' world.
