The Cagliosto mage's staff  is an impressive prop and at the same time an efficient foam weapon. Its many details and rich ornaments consist of the same soft foam as the entire "Black Dragon" foam weapon range, making "Cagliosto" not only a prop for the portrayal of wizardry in-game, but also a widely useful foam arm for close combat. As its many details like runes, crystals and colour effects are individually finished by hand, there may be deviations from the image in the case of this product in particular. However, rest assured that you'll always receive your very own one-of-a-kind staff.

In the Black Dragon series, Italian manufactory Fucina del Drago, famous for their exceptional leather products, have created a foam weapon brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with a fantastic design. The "Black Dragon" foam weapons are 100% handcrafted in Italy. They feature an outer coat of latex varnished with a layer of protective lacquer. Inserts of robust leather guarantee the necessary stability and durability. Carefully painted and with boasting a high-quality leather hilt wrapping, the "Black Dragon" foam weapon range will be a trusty companion for a long time. Please note that each foam weapon is individually crafted by hand, which is why the individual weapons' shape and colour may deviate slightly from the image.

We recommend regular care with silicon oil. Keep your foam weapons clean and dry at all times. Do not store them in a weapon's holder or similar contraption for extended periods of time. Your foam weapon should not be exposed to a lot of heat or direct sunlight for extended periods of time. This could lead to deformations or damage to the surface.

You think about dreaming it, we will take care of making it happen.
