Received it today and it is AWESOME!! Nice heft to it. Very solid and well made. It's even fairly close to being sharp. Display stand looks and works great. I may order a couple more.

Hey sly,
I also, received my DOJ Batarang from Quantum Mechanix today.
This is the third best manufactured 1:1 replica Batarang that I’ve
ever seen. A quality piece; outstanding in every way. The Ice Batarang
from ICONS is still the best of them all but not by much over this
one. What is hard to believe most about this DOJ Batarang is that it
only cost 50.00. Given the extreme quality and perfect manufacturing
execution, a 200.00 price tag would not at all seem unreasonable.
Could also be added to the DOJ Batmobile as a steering wheel center,
tire hub centers, dash board inlay, exterior inlay below access
handles, etc., etc,…………………………
PS: The reason this Batarang has a heft to its feel is because zinc
weighs 90.8% of steel. So, this Batarang weighs 9.2 % less than the
same Batarang made in steel. The Batarangs used in filming the actual
movie were made of aluminum. So this zinc Batarang weighs 2.65 times
more than those used in the actual filming.
The relevant weights of metals per cubic foot in pounds.
Steel: 490 Zinc: 445.3 Aluminum: 168
Thought about what you said about buying a couple more.
Figure that’s a good idea just in case resellers may make a run on
these and jack the prices up during the delay that it would take the
manufacturer to catch up demand. So, I just bought two more, just in
case.

Had bought an Arkham Knight plastic replica a while back and a week ago I bid for a replica custom manufactured in knife grade stainless steel alloy. Received it today. Outstanding piece and so sharp you can shave the hair on your arm with it.

Finally acquired the last Batarang that I needed to complete my movie
appearance timeline based display of Batarangs
ICONS BATMAN BATARANG LIMITED EDITION PROP REPLICA
Considered by most as the best Batarang display piece ever created.
I’ll let the posted photo-images speak for themselves.
As seen in the movie "BATMAN & ROBIN", made by the now defunct company
ICONS. This Batman's Batarang authentic replica is a precise
reproduction of an original Batarang used in filming Batman & Robin. A
master mold was taken directly off an original used by actor George
Clooney in his role as Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham City. Spun
cast in zinc metal and chrome plated, each Batarang is hand assembled
under the direct supervision of film and television special effects
artisans in the U.S.A. Item is in great condition. The black Plexiglas
display base features a Mr. Freeze influenced blue ice back-ground,
the whole display can be hung to the wall with the wall mount system
at the back of the display case. An edition of only 500 units were
created for Warner Brothers Studio stores back in 1997. It is believed
that Icons has never made the full run of this Batman Batarang before
they closed their door forever.

So, who is going to be the first fan to create a life-sized replica of the Pattinson batarang.
The attached images contain enough information to build a very close replica.
Looks like a great project for 3D printing.

Two days ago I posted:
"So, who is going to be the first fan to create a life-sized replica of the Pattinson batarang."
Today I received an email telling me that a 3D printed Pattinson batarang is available on line.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/859569875/batman-2021-battison-batarang-trailer
Not to bad for a first attempt but I believe the Warner Brothers approved version will be of much higher quality and 3-4 times more expensive.
