Rare props from ‘Star Wars,’ ‘Batman’ and other classics up for auction
Calling all film geeks.
Rare and iconic memorabilia from some of history’s most celebrated movies — including the sword Mel Gibson wielded in “Braveheart” and the complete suit from 1989’s “Batman” — are going up for auction.
Prop Store is putting 900 items — valued at more than $7.5 million — up for sale over two days on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at London’s BFI IMAX.
Some of the artifacts going under the hammer include: the armor Russell Crowe wore in “Gladiator” (valued at more than $36,000); Jack Nicholson’s ax from “The Shining” (more than $48,000); and the lightsaber used by Mace Windu, aka Samuel L. Jackson, in “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” (more than $60,000).
Other Star Wars gear includes a Stormtrooper helmet from 1977’s “Star Wars: A New Hope” (which could fetch at least $145,000) and a light-up remote-control R2-BHD droid from 2016’s “Star Wars: Rogue One” (valued at at least $70,000).
More into “Star Trek”? Spock’s costume in the cult TV series is up for auction and could fetch at least $60,000.
There’s also the gun Pierce Brosnan used as 007 in “James Bond: Goldeneye” and Veruca Salt’s candy wrapper from the original 1971 “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.”
Want to walk a mile in Forrest Gump’s shoes? The white Nikes and socks Tom Hanks wore in the Oscar-winning 1994 movie are expected to fetch more than $9,700.
The auction will be live-streamed for any film buffs who want to bid but can’t make it out to London.
This is the sixth year in a row that Prop Store has put on the blowout memorabilia sale. The signature fedora that Harrison Ford wore as Indiana Jones sold for a whopping $492,650 last year.
