    All of my D&D-loving cousins would want that to sit in a corner and look cool. It weighs enough to swing through an engine block, provided you can lift the thing!

    Cheap junk, or just made to hang on a wall and look cool for the gamer crowd? If it weighed a ton it would pull the hooks out of wallboard. A hollow decorator piece is easier to display.
