Elkridge, MD (May 18, 2004) - Factory X's newest prop replica from Buffy the Vampire Slayer - The Sword of Angelus - has shipped, and will be available on the Factory X web store, this coming Tuesday, May 24th.

In the second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, a single moment of true happiness undoes Angel's curse, depriving him of his soul and unleashing Angelus on Buffy and her friends. But Angelus' ambitions extend far beyond torturing his former love; in fact, by awakening an ancient demon, Acathla, he means to end the world, and send every living creature into hell.

As Buffy engages Angelus in an epic swordfight, Willow attempts a spell to restore the vampire's soul. Willow's spell is successful, and Angel is returned, but unfortunately Acathla has already begun to stir. Knowing that Angel's blood is the only thing that can save the world, Buffy tells him to close his eyes, kisses him tenderly, and then drives the sword through his heart, closing the swirling vortex, and sending him into hell.

Soon, you can hearken back to one of the most dramatic and heartbreaking moments in the show's seven year run with this reproduction of the sword that Buffy used to send Angel to hell - the Sword of Angelus. Using the actual prop from the episodes ("Becoming, Part 2") as inspiration, Factory X has created a stunning homage to the sword used on the show. Sure to be a must-have for sword collectors and Buffy enthusiasts alike, the Sword of Angelus is made from the highest quality materials - from the stainless steel blade to the gold plated hilt.
