The wonders of anime/manga physics shows how they can hover in the air with things that heavy.

This might even be too heavy for the fans.

A thousand bucks for this unusual deluxe item... Kuuh, I'm really starting to feel sorry for those who'll buy this.

Can they even use it for at least like, commuting or like a means of transportation? Anime hyper

Okay, they killed me at 'Not metal blades' part.

I was thinking of saving up for this baby, but if the blades aren't metal, i'll pass.

Looks cool tho, but not for that price and not 'real' blades. >.<

...That makes me a little concerned about why you would need metal blades. ^^;

Though it's probably easier to sell a replica weapon than something that can legitimately be used as a weapon. Not to mention it's probably a good idea to idiot-proof something like this, because you KNOW someone is going to try to mod it to make it actually work as intended. Razz

At least it looks lot better than fan-made 3D maneuver gear.

You just know someone's going to try to fly off the roof of their house in this thing and earn themselves a trip to the emergency room.

I see this being more with those who have lost touch with reality, like an obsessive gamer.
