 Hello everybody, I'm new here and was looking around and couldn't see any threads on original props or cast and crew items. So I decided to open up a thread for any and all collectors to show off their original props, cast and crew items, etc. Above is a piece of wampa fur I picked up during CV at the prop store of london booth. Please show off any props you guys have. (Please no replicas.) May the force be with you all, Chase K. |

That's really cool. Good idea for a thread. I've heard of these, but I don't recall seeing the Prop Store booth at CV. It's all a bit blurry at the moment and I very likely did see it.
What do you know about this item? I'm assuming it is from the Special Edition of Empire. Is that right? My only original prop-type items come from a meeting we had last year where Chris gave out small pieces of Jabba's Sail Barge from Yuma, Arizona. A group from out west graciously donated them to us. -Campbell Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon. |

Based on my research prop store acquired this and a bunch of other stuff from stuart freeborn who did the original wampa but not the special edition one(I think the special edition wampa was in the from science to imagination exhibit). The original wampa costume(s) that were built by stuart freeborn were filmed in multiple scenes (like the one when c-3po rips off the warning sticker) but were eventually cut do to the costumes were not looking very well on camera. The wampa you see attacking luke and the tauntaun in the originals was a stop motion puppet created by phil tibbet.
So I think this is a piece of A wampa and not THE wampa that everybody knows. the piece of fur only cost me about $75 and is actually quite big by prop standards, it's about 3in. x 7in. |

Thanks for the information. The Wampa in the photo is definitely from the Special Edition, but that's a far better communication tool than the sparse Wampa shots from Empire. All in all though, I'd really like to have something that involved Stuart Freeborn, so kudos!

If you are interested in a stuart freeborn piece I know that the prop store acquired some chewbacca fur and ewok fur as well. Their website is propstore.com

Having prop stuff authenticated to sell is a good idea. I don't much about prop stores. It seems like some of the stuff would be very expensive.

The prices on their stuff isn't all that bad. You can get some original chewbacca fur for around $200.
And that's what most people pay for a replica lightsaber hilt.

I'll do it. Photobucket is doing maintenance as I write this, but I just took a picture.

In the photo is a plywood board, some very thick painted paperboard and some painted foam that we believe is from the Sail Barge or Skiff. The bag at the top left has Yuma, AZ sand from the same site and the little vial was a freebie from Cris Macht for buying his DVD, The Force Among Us. -Campbell Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon. |

Cool, I think it would be neat to plan out a whole summer and go to a bunch of the movie sites and a bunch of the conventions and make a big star wars summer.
Start by going to tunsia and see all of that stuff and go to toy fair and san diego comic con and visit the endor forest and the sail barge site in Yuma. |
