It’s a known fact that movie productions of this scale use a vast number of props when it comes to weaponry. For example, as explained by Marvel’s prop master, Captain America has up to four usable shields that Chris Evans picked up during all of the Infinity Saga, and Anthony Mackie uses a new design. Nevertheless, that doesn’t rob any of these precious items of their collectible value, as the starting prices for the likes of Indiana Jones’ Grail Diary or Freddy Krueger’s sweater will surely shock many.

The actual sale is being organized by PropstoreAuction and will run for four days from June 21 to 24. It will feature all kinds of props, costumes, comics, and entertainment collectibles, including iconic cinema pieces such as the Bride’s hanzo katana from Kill Bill: Vol 1, Dan Aykroyd’s Ghostbusters 2 jumpsuit, and even Tom Hanks’ pal Wilson from Cast Away. Thor’s hammer from the superhero’s 2011 debut film appears to be the standout piece, though a full-size Delorean used in promotional events for Back to the Future is another prized item up for grabs.
Some lucky buyer will also be able to get their hands on a trendy Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber. Just remember that this is a prop, which might explain the green beam color that was then replaced with the aid of special effects for the Jedi Master’s signature blue in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The wide range of available objects has everything from Michael Keaton’s Batman boots to Star Wars miniatures, and even Johnny Depp’s weaponized limbs from Edward Scissorhands.
According to several outlets, items like Thor’s hammer are expected to fetch no less than $100k, a figure that might be too high for more niche pieces like the Gizmo animatronic puppet from Gremlins 2: The New Batch. The full auction lineup and catalogue can be obtained directly from PropstoreAuction’s site, and there’s no harm or spending in looking, so practically anyone can find something to their liking.
As with any collectible item, proof of authenticity is crucial, so potential buyers might want to double-check the rarity of some of these props before raising their hands. Last year, the Pokemon card and video game collecting markets were flooded with many fake items being sold, even making their way into the hands of YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul.
