HERO PROP HALL OF FAME

Hero Prop has quickly and very firmly established itself to offer some of the best and most sort after original movie props and wardrobe. Here is just a small sample of our more iconic pieces we have had over the years and worthy of our “Hall of Fame”.

This filming model was the most frequent “guest star” ship design in all of Star Trek, having been featured in The Search for Spock and The Undiscovered Country films, as well as various episodes of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. 

This Enterprise-B filming model was sold by Hero Prop in 2018 for $1,000,000 USD, shattering the previous world record for the highest price realized in Star Trek memorabilia. The previous record was $575,000 USD for the Enterprise-D filming model sold in 2006 by Christie’s auction house.

Concerned with preservation of this important piece, the new owner commissioned an extensive internal LED lighting upgrade that compliments the existing neon tubing which remains present and in its original condition.

Vacumetalized fiberglass armor components with very high detail which include gauntlets with integrated gloves, helmet with hand-beaten metal work, hinged breast and back plate, shoulder pads, upper arm spaulders, hip armor with codpiece and large knee-high boots with rubber soles.

The Aliens head is made of mixed material, such as a foam latex base with a fiberglass dome. The heads mouth features the signature Alien tongue, and attaches to the main costume via small push clips that are hidden under the foam latex. The dome features a fiberglass construction with an added piece of clear vacuformed plastic that allows the insides of the head to show through slightly. The vacuformed piece has the grid pattern cut into it and features yellow detailing simulating the Aliens blood. This entire suit is complete and mounted on a custom made mannequin with a round wooden base.

Due to the unpredictable vacuum forming casting methodology employed by Shepperton Design Studios when fabricating the Stormtrooper helmets for Star Wars, and the face’s eyes and “teeth” needing to be hand-cut, one at a time, each helmet resulted in unique and distinctive individualized facial features. These features have historically become determining factors in authenticating original screen-used Stormtrooper helmets.

The entire helmet has been studio painted, finished and distressed to appear as if it has seen heavy action in battle, with burned and scorched areas, ash, scratching, soiling and an erratic laser blast breach in the crown. A modern, much sturdier version of the iconic Stormtrooper helmets of fragile vacuum formed plastic used in the beginnings of the Star Wars franchise.

 The vehicle was transported to Hawaii for filming in excellent condition finished in a green, red, and yellow custom paint finish in the style of the original vehicles. , Then was intentionally distressed by the production. As it was used on its roof in the film, the production team did not have to do all of the work cutting out the sunroof and so forth that was done for the Explorers in the first film.
