Assassin's Creed Unity Phantom Blade

Ubisoft, the genius game developers behind some of the greatest video games in existence has really outdone itself this time.  It's new Assassin's Creed Unity Phantom Blade (in conjunction with McFarlane.com) is functional, full size replica of the infamous weapon.

It truly has to be seen to be believed.  Although not made of the same period materials as the original the Phantom Blade looks every bit as lethal as its namesake-and all the parts work!

Strap the faux leather arm piece on and its hidden weapon's cache is completely hidden beneath any long sleeve shirt, jacket or sweater.

Pull back the hinged crossbow arms, load the firing dart and with the simple push of a release catch the ornate dart flings across the room.

If that isn't impressive enough with the click of another well-hidden button a deadly two-edge knife pops out from the front of the Phantom Blade to deliver the killing blow.

Exquisitely crafted the Phantom Blade looks as if it is made from hand-crafted leather, metal and wood.

Are you worthy to wield the fabled Phantom Blade of the Assassin's Creed?  Stalk and traverse the back alleys and through the hidden shadows as you pursue your prey.

Take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship of the piece with its buckles, ornate carvings, hidden latches and buttons and leather-like straps and belts.

The handsomely boxed Phantom blade also comes with a secret code to unlock the exclusive French Calvary Pistol while playing the game.
