    I’d like to ask about these. I’m looking at the Lancelot axe and the Arthur sword. Are these nice weapons? Do they work well with Voyager-size figures? Any pictures?
    Also, I’d love to hear about any other Dr. Wu weapons as well. I’m considering buying a few, and I’d like input from people that have them.

    Their Skybreaker (Prime Star Saber), Tyrant (Dark Energon Saber), Alpha Trion's sword, and Recast (Prima's Star Saber) swords are excellent and are sized specifically for Voyagers. I don't have any particular experience with any of their other weapons, but I expect the Lancelot and Arthur are similarly meant to go with Voyagers, or serve as maybe a somewhat oversized weapon for a Deluxe.

    He doesn't seem to be making add-on weapons anymore, not sure if the old ones will ever get reissued either. Probably best to buy them up if any of them interests you.

    Thanks for the replies! I’d really like to get the Skybreaker, but I can’t find it in stock.

    There's some on eBay. Though price and seller reliability are at your discretion. You could always put up a wanted thread in Junkion Exchange.

    I’ll pass on eBay.
    I have to admit, for whatever reason I wasn’t thinking about the Junkion Wxchange, despite the success I’ve had there. Thanks!

    This might help... Where I got a bunch of Dr Wu weapons. I have all of the Last Knight ones, and they are basically perfectly made and perfectly scaled for Voyagers.

    I've bought a lot of 3p weapons over the last few years. These are top notch.

    Some early Dr. Wu kits (especially movie related parts) have fitting issues, so beware. Their modern, current stuff all fits great and have no fit issues in comparison.

    Have Arthur sword, which fits good. Dunno about Lancelot.

    Their T-rex hammer is probably the most notable recent weapon that doesn't fit standard closed hands. The ridges on each handle segment is what's oversized. If you slightly file down the ridges on a few segments, then anyone can hold it.
