Coined: Hero Version

Hero Version (adj.) used to describe one in a series of items that is of good quality.

Taken from film prop terminology in reference specifically to swords, the hero version was one of several versions of the same prop that was made to stand up to up close scrutiny. The hero version of a sword generally looked real while the others were made of wood or rubber or something not nearly as cool.

Dude #1: "No that one's dented. Grab me the hero version behind it."
