Enterbay - G O D F A T H E R - enterbay.jpg

I received the Enterbay Godfather the other day.I did a light repaint, gave it a Volks body and a new extended double-jointed neck (for better sitting, standing poses), but overall this is a GREAT QUALITY figure from ENTERBAY despite my minor modifications.

S U P E R M A N - superman.jpg

I recently took photos of the LATEST Superman Cinemaquette.I'm not easily impressed by anything, but this has got to be the BEST Superman out there, the sculpt is spot-on, but like most prototypes, the final product will PROBABLY not reach this kind of quality,hopefully it does because this is the best figure Cinemaquette has produced to date (as far as resemblance is concerned) IMHO

P I N F I R E - pinfire.jpg

From my collection, the World's smallest guns......The miniature pinfire pistol. This particular model was made by "FISHER" ( slightly over 1/6 scale) was made during the 1930's, and it REALLY does fire bullets!!! The trick is to get the tiny caps, they still make them ( the ones in the photo are from the 30's) Pack the cap with bee's wax, then apply a metal projectile on top of the wax.... load it, then fire away.It won't kill anything except bugs maybe, but it will leave a hole in paper. I use to have a whole collection of these mini PINFIRE pistols and rifles, some dating as far back as the late 1800's, but I sold most of them(I regret now) GOOGLE "miniature pinfire" to get the historical background.

G O R A E - S T Y L E - Gorae.jpg

Just picked up the new 12" HELLBOY and added it to my collection of custom figures from the same sculptor Sang Hyun Kim (GORAE STYLE).,,,,,,,,Starting from left to right, a very scarce and RARELY seen Kroenen figure; ONE of two Kroenen figures on his website. One being the prototype and the other (this figure) serial number #1, and the ONLY completed Kroenen to exist, as I was told . Next to Kroenen is Bruce Willis as Hartigan from "Sin City", next to him is his latest figure-Hot Toy's "Hellboy II" and in back is his original Hellboy figure, and finally, Tom Cruise from "Mission Impossible III". I'd like to also add, besides the sculpting, the interesting thing about these figures is, the CLOTHING.

B L A S T E R - blaster.jpg

Arguably one of the most famous sci-fi guns in film history; The Blade Runner PKD BLASTER designed by Rick Ross.This replica was made by master PROP MAKER Richard Coyle, and the most screen accurate PKD blaster to date.It is made entirely of metal like the actual hero prop gun;NO PLASTIC parts here (with the exception of the translucent grip)every screw is an actual screw, not die cast, it features functioning trigger, hammer action ,leather holster,bullets, sliding bolt action and lights.This is one of my favorite toys, and VERY HEAVY too, it looks and feels like a real gun, which by the way the movie blaster was built up from a real gun (gun in WHITE photo area is the ACTUAL PROP BLASTER) it has an estimated value at auction of $100,000 - $150,000 and considered by most to be the Holy Grail of Sci-Fi guns...Mine doesn't cost quite as much, but it's pretty much identical, right down to the weathered metal finish,and the exception of the ON-OFF light switch (between the two lights)which was not meant to be seen on film, but you can catch it in a few scenes LOL. my switch is located underneath and hidden........I would hate to be pistol-whipped by this.

1st. model - T U T I M A - Tutima.jpg

a VERY RARE 1st.version (circ. 1939) TUTIMA German pilot watch. Supplied ONLY to the BEST German pilots at the beginning of the war.This watch still has the original leather band, the MECHANISM INSIDE is GOLD-PLATED ( late-war versions had nickel or silver plated movements) and notice the very kool original RED ARROW pointer at the top.These watches are big and heavy duty machines....( Tutima COPY on Bruce Willis)

2nd model - T U T I M A - tut.jpg

On May 8, 1945, just hours away from the cease-fire of WWII, the Russians invaded and bombed the town of Glashütte, destroying the historical German watch factory "TUTIMA".The factory supplied a limited number of watches for the elite German Luftwaffe pilots of WWII (TOP-GUN PILOTS).Very few of the famous watches survived the war....This was one of them (top photo) I bought the watch many years ago before it became valuable. Considered the best designed military watch, many copies of this design have been made since WWII, Al Pacino even wore a 1941 Tutima COPY in "THE RECRUIT"......The Russians believed the watch was perfect, so after the war, they took the remaining stock from the destroyed factory and copied it.The Russian copy is called a "KIROVA" (very poor quality)

Original 1950's photos of James Dean SCULPTING in an art class.These photos have NEVER been published to my knowledge, I have only seen one of these photos used.I got it from a collector, whom bought it at auction many years ago.They still have the original red pencil marks by the photographer.I made the images LOW-REZ to protect from piracy.

Miniature 356 Porsche. This was handmade in Germany, slightly larger than a quarter. It is the SMALLEST most DETAILED Porsche I have ever seen.

This is a VERY RARE 1940's German pilot's "batteryless" mini flashlight. It's powered by pumping the lever continuously.Inspiration for the Star Trek phaser???.....Doesn't matter, I love the design!

SCREEN USED Police car PROP (Spinner) from the 1982 film BLADE RUNNER.The blue paint is coming off in certain areas, but it does have the original windshield, and over-all DETAIL is amazing.It's one of the cars parked under the round docking garage on the roof top scene (above)where Harrison Ford is landing.This prop was given to the model maker(Paul Curley)after completion of the film,it was auctioned off years ago until I acquired it.Another identical spinner can be seen in a prop museum online(missing the windshield, no paint).
