Die-cast metal also makes for awesome prop replicas. This reproduction of the Green Ranger’s Dragon Dagger from the original <\/span>Mighty Morphin Power Rangers<\/span><\/i> TV series is a perfect example.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capable of generating concussive energy blasts and – when played like a flute – summoning gigantic robotic dragons from the sea, the Dragon Dagger<\/a> was one of the most powerful weapons in the Power Rangers\u2019 arsenal.<\/span><\/p>\n

While this replica dagger\u2019s sound effects give it great playability, don\u2019t overlook all the die-cast golden detailing on the pommel and the hilt. The metal gives the replica more heft than a simple paint job ever could.<\/span><\/p>\n
