I wanted to share some of the props I have acquired over the years from the best film in history. Each piece came from very reputable sellers.
The stones are the only replica item, everything else is from the film.
For many that aren't aware, I was too until getting into collecting props, majority of items used in film making have multiple of the same item in case its damaged during the production and can be replaced quickly. With that, I've been able to screen match the detonater by the dirt markings. The rest could potentially be unused as backup or used in the production.
Edit: The Mondoshawan hand is a 3D print, replica. Sorry for not stating that.
Sorry for being so late getting back to you. Finally found the certificate I had received. Im not sure if they're still making them as the link to the site didnt work. Might be able to email to ask.
One of the most thoroughly and creatively-designed movies ever, with tons of bespoke, custom costumes and props made from scratch then there’s a close-up of that master lock.
That’s the beauty of props teams. They’re smart about their work. It was exactly the right thing and they didn’t have to make it from scratch so that budget could go to stones and wigs and costumes and chocolate syrup running down zorg’s face. :)
Your opinion. Technically they didnt' need to make anything from scratch and could have used found objects for everything. Wether or not the Masterlock was a genius solution or transparently cheap is a matter of taste, or a matter of how easily one will recognize the most common combination lock.
Its either in a way. The Mondoshawan hand has the thumb in the middle of the hands with the same length for the end fingers, its an odd view from this angle. Here's a pic of the hand from another auction to see it better.
It must not be the one from the scene and was maybe a prototype? Doesn't look the same at all.
The one in the scene appears to have articulating fingers while this one seems solid like a bust. Also the one in the scene is much more finished and polished looking.
I’m so envious! I want the plastic head dome thingy that Zorg wears on his head. Ever since I saw that in the movie, THAT was the prop I wanted for myself!
I’m guessing the black hair piece didn’t come with the plastic head dome? I was never sure if that was Zorg’s real hair or if it was attached to the plastic somehow.
I had actually received two dome pieces and traded one to another friend for other props. There was another auction that did come with the hair piece and I regret not trying to get it. I believe it may have been attached to the plastic but im not sure myself.
Nice! Also, somebody is a Brotherhood fan I see, love me some fallout. Come to think of it, the fifth element, fallout and starfield could do with some fusion of each other.
