It's like I stepped into the wayback machine, yo! And I don't ever want to come out!
Here's some of the more notable stuff (in my opinion) I saw in the catalog but there is a TON of other Hollywood awesomeness up for grabs!
A T-800 Endo Skull from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. How badass is this? This is the only solid bronze Endo skull made for the movie and is signed by both Stan Winston and maid-fucker Arnold Schwarzenegger. Very cool. Anticipated selling price > $12,000 – $15,000
Nirvana Nevermind poster signed by Kurt Cobain, bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl at the lower left in gold ink, "Kurt, Chris, Dave!" Expect to maybe battle it out with hot mess Courtney Love for this one though, she sold all her Nirvana shit in 2006 and could want some back - she's a beast! Anticipated selling price > $400 – $600
The DeLorean "Time Machine" from Back to the Future 3. This is one of 7 DeLoreans used in the trilogy and of the 7 - only 3 have survived. The car drives but shit ain't street legal so that's super lame. Would still be pretty boss to brag about at parties. Anticipated selling price > $400,000 – $600,000
Warner Bros. Illustration Board Main Title Logo Art. I just thought this was kind of cool because it's so historical. Some rich prick with more money than taste will buy this and put it up in his McMansion I bet...Really it should go to Bugs Bunny, but he's not real. And that's kind of sad. Anticipated selling price > $60,000 – $80,000
River Phoenix signed 8x10 inch portrait - Inscribed along the right "To Jolie, luv ya muchly once in a great while I get a crush, River Phoenix." Jolie must have been AWESOME! RIP Phoenix! We miss you! Anticipated selling price > $300 – $500
'69 "General Lee" Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard television show. Come on now, how fucking cool is this? This is the only "jump car" known to have survived filming the show. The number of Chargers used throughout is estimated as being beyond 256. That's a lot of damn Dodges! It's damaged to all hell though - driver's side quarter panel is dented, the cowl panel below the windshield and the driveshaft are bent. There's some rust and the battery is still held in place by an army surplus strap. Lol! Ghetto! It does drive though and is one of the most recognized vehicles in television history. Anticipated selling price > $40,000 – $60,000
Scripts and animation materials from seasons 2 and 3 of The Simpsons. Some of the episodes include "Bart Gets Hit by a Car," "One Fish, Two Fish, Blowfish, Blue Fish," "Bart the Murderer," "Lisa's Pony," and "Flaming Moe's." Flaming Moe's! Classic! Anticipated selling price > $600 – $800
Forrest Gump's Nike Running Shoes. The vintage 1975 Nike white leather running shoes Tom Hanks rocked in the last third of the film. His Jenny gave them to him and the world swooned! Pfft! Peas and carrots my ass...This is a pair from the beginning of the running, and from shots around the house, so they're in primo condition. They also come with a pair of distressed cotton socks from the early stages of his run. That's weird....but hey, free socks is free socks. Anticipated selling price > $3,000 – $5,000
The Central Perk couch from Friends. This couch was used on the set from season 4 on. The original got worn down in season 3 so an exact replica was made. It's a pricy bitch of a sofa expected to go for around $4,000 – $6,000 though. 'Sa lotta coffee money!
A rare animatronic puppet from Howard the Duck. It looks sooo creepy though! It's like a Chucky Duck! This is the only fully animatronic Howard the Duck puppet created for the film and features an internal breathing mechanism, multiple servos as well as hand paddles to actuate the mouth and eye movements. Um, a sphincter says what? Anyways, the cost to build the puppet is apparently infamous due to its detail but it's worth less due to damage. Anticipated selling price > $20,000 – $30,000
A Mattel Hoverboard from Back to the Future 2. FUCKING HOVERBOARD!!! The one for sale is constructed of lightweight Styrofoam with Mattel graphics and Velcro strips. In the flick, the illusion of hovering was done with harnesses, cranes and special effects. Basically, shit don't hover. Bummer. Anticipated selling price > $6,000 – $8,000
Monica's front door gold peep hole frame thingy from Friends. Originally the frame held glass that was broken by the set decorator while pimping out Monica's apartment. Instead of using it as a picture frame he decided to use it around the peephole of the door. It's a cool piece of 90s TV fo' sure but for $1,500 – $2,000 - not interested.
Count Dracula's Cape. Worn in the 1931 Universal Pictures classic Dracula by Bela Lugosi. It was kept by his fam through the years, though they almost buried him in it. Yeesh! It's a $2 million cape! That's more expensive than the DeLorean! It has been called the "greatest single horror garment in cinema history" by collectors...I guess that's kind of a big deal.
Dorothy's Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz. These are apparently a pair of extra-close-up slippers which means they are the my shit don't stink ruby slippers of the memorabilia world. Kent Warner - the dude who owned them - had a rep among collectors as having "only the best," and they have been in the Smithsonian for the past 30+ years. Anticipated selling price > $2,000,000 – $3,000,000!!!
Michael J. Fox' jacket from Back to the Future. Worn by MJF as "Marty McFly" during the epic skateboard sequence. I just love the movies and him and want him to get better already!!! Beautiful bastard! GET BETTER MJF!!! Anticipated selling price > $15,000 – $20,000
Betelgeuse's (Beetlejuice's) Coffin. This is the wooden coffin prop that was excavated by Words With Friends enthusiast Alec Baldwin "Adam" and Geena Davis "Barbara" in the film. It has a studio antiqued metal plaque reading "Betelgeuse" on the front. This is what I want to be buried in. Take note. Anticipated selling price > $3,000 – $5,000
An animatronic Mogwai puppet from Gremlins 2 - Mohawk edition. This was the main villain in the flick and the puppet comes complete with the animatronic cables attached. Freaky deaky! My cat would probably lose his shit over this - then he'd piss on it. Anticipated selling price > $8,000 – $12,000
Ghostface costume from Scream 4. Full costume including the mask and long black robe. Latex mask has studio bloodstain at the left eyebrow. Sidney's BLOOD!!! This is pretty reasonably priced expected to fetch $800 – $1,000 and would make a kickass Halloween costume...or role playing get-up...whatever your deal is, man.
Like I said there's tons more, I widdled that down a lot believe it or not. I don't know who buys this shit but it'd be super fun to get wasted and dress up as the Scream guy while shooting BBs at a moving Howard the Duck. Mad fun!
Fuck. I would be like the raddest rich person EVER.
