Prop Store to Exhibit an Amazing Assortment of Film Props and Costumes at San Diego Comic Con
Prop Store is actively preparing for its annual voyage to San Diego Comic Con, the largest pop culture related show in the world.
Prop Store will exhibit a range of original props and costumes used in the production of many beloved films and television shows. The majority of these items have never been exhibited publicly before, and will be available for sale for the first time.
Highlights of the display include a complete Judge Dredd costume from last year’s cult favorite film DREDD, an assortment of Aardman stop-motion animation puppets from PIRATES! BAND OF MISFITS, Ampules from PROMETHEUS, and Renly Baratheon’s Crown from GAME OF THRONES.
There will also be a range of classic vintage material on display, such as an original bullwhip used in the INDIANA JONES film series, a Ghost Trap prop from GHOSTBUSTERS 2, Sigourney Weaver’s flamethrower from ALIEN, a Kryptonian crystal from SUPERMAN 2, and KITT’s license plate from KNIGHT RIDER.
Members of Prop Store’s teams from both London and Los Angeles will be on hand all show to answer questions and chat with fans about their collecting.
The display will be in the same location as in prior years – booth 3645, at the north end of the vendor hall.
Prop Store has a number of giveaways planned for the show. A quantity of Prop Store lanyards and mugs will be distributed to booth visitors each day. Attendees will also have the opportunity to register for Prop Store’s prize drawing, where an original prop Ampule from PROMETHEUS will be given away.
The drawing can be entered by having the barcode on your Comic Con badge scanned by a team member at the booth, which also adds you to the Prop Store mailing list.
Press and media organizations are welcome to contact Prop Store to arrange to film segments in the display area.Additional information on our presence at the show can be found in Prop Store’s Comic Con teaser video here:
