Anyone else collect movie props, memorabilia or autographs?

I want that War of the Worlds clock!

Make an offer...
I'll be selling a portion of my autograph collection. If anyone here needs someone (mostly sci-fi / horror/ fantasy)....but many others as well. (Hitchcock, Wilder, Lewis, etc) Let me know.....

I recently won some amazing things in the Profiles in History auction. The holy grail item in the auction was Bill Paxton's Private Hudson camo BDUs from Aliens. It is impossible to screen match them, as the camo is concealed by the marine armor, but after the movie, an entire collection of the wardrobe sold at auction in November 1996, including this specific set of camo. It's definitely legitimate given the costuming company that produced the unique camo patterned suits at the time, and also the accurate screen printed (not embroidered) arm patches. The name patch has unfortunately been removed, but you can see that "Hudson" is written underneath where that patch was previously overlaid.

I definitely got emotional opening the package up and admiring the set. R.I.P. Bill Paxton

For the discerning but budget-conscious Bladerunner fan, this sweet looking set of knock-off OG Bladerunner whiskey glasses is finally back in stock:

They're not Italian crystal, but they're also $23 for four instead of $150 for two. Just ordered myself a set, and I'll post a review when they show up.

Cool. I saw Bill Paxton a few times when I worked at a movie theater in college. Sold him his tickets once. Talked to him on the phone once. I never knew he was in so many movies until later.

Not movie props, but my main arcade room has a number of props from Star Trek: Enterprise. We are big fans of the show and visited the set in seasons 2 & 3.

On the right side of the entrance the top gold piece is a repro, the bottom piece is a frame but all the panels are authentic as are the pieces on the opposite wall.

I have a few autographs but one of my favorites is Karl Urban’s “Damn it Jim! Just Play Pinball!”. He is a big pinball fan and we had a great time talking pinball.

Ok that room is AMAZING. I love the Enterprise plaque and that whole wall

I lit up some Wonka things in a shadow box to go with my Wonka pin.

We collect out favorite TV shows, movies and sports teams autographs. Also have a photo of the last Space Shuttle mission framed and signed by the commander with a small piece of the cargo bay liner.

The Thing lobby card 11x14" signed by director John Carpenter, Wilford Brimley (Dr. Blair), T. K. Carter (Nauls) and Thomas G. Waites (Windows). Just need Kurt...then it goes up for sale!

Got my Blade Runner whiskey glasses last night (after Amazon canceled my first order b/c the package broke in transit, that was a new one on me). I am very impressed. They're nice and heavy, and to my eye look exactly like Decker's glass from the film. Just remember, drink from the corners to avoid dribbles -- it's harder to retire replicants if you reek of spilled Johnnie Walker.

That is an awesome lobby card picture.

Ted - did you ever pick up any of the Universal Classic Monster posters or cards?

All I have is one lobby card for Phantom of the Opera (2nd one), and a title card for Revenge of the Creature. I was never able to lay down hundreds on them. Had a chance years ago to pick up some of the reel art versions (50's reissues)...wish I had.

Great photos! I wish I could read all the placards - some great stuff there

Let me know if there's a few things you're curious about and I can share what they are.

I have hundreds and hundreds of posters, lobby cards, etc. Most will be up for sale soon.

Wow Force! That's quite a collection!

Looking for a good mannequin for my OT storm trooper armor when I'm not wearing it. Any recommendations as to something 6" tall that can fill out a full armor set including shoes. Poseable to hold the blaster would be ideal.

Avg size garbage can will hold all that nicely
Hahah

I use these for most costumes:

And this for larger costumes (such as the necromonger armor seen in the exhibit photos above):

Poseable mannequins are more expensive:

Much appreciated Force!

Well it’s been too long. Anyone have anything new?

I recently met Sam Jones (Flash Gordon) and I bought a DARPA Centipede Cannon from the movie Pixels.

I also completed my Godzilla autograph collection of the 3 main suit actors.
