HeroItem

Hero Item asks one question of the world's most desirable things: is it a hero? Every item goes through the same five-part test (craft, feel, presence, delight and story) and ends in one verdict: Hero Item, or not. Ratings come from makers' own documents and named reviewers, owners and editors, all linked.
