Propstore Staff Picks: Tim Lawes’ Favourite Props

This week it’s Tim Lawes, our London General Manager, who took some time to compile his ultimate list of must-have Propstore lots. With everything from a lock of hair from everybody’s favourite wookie, Chewbacca to an original puppet of The Surprisingly Curvaceous Pirate in the 3D stop-motion animated comedy film, ‘Pirate The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists!’

Now, let’s take a look at Lawes’ top picks…

Chewbacca Hair Original Display – Star Wars: A New Hope

Chewie

Chewie 2

Reminds me of wonderful times in the generous company of Stuart and Kay Freeborn. Amazing, talented folk who are dearly missed.

 

Prancing Pony Tavern Tankard Display – Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

LOTR

LOTR 2

Buy this, pop down the local, avoid Ringwraiths, settle down with your fellowship and blow the froth off a couple.

 

David Drayton’s (Thomas Jane) Torn Dark Tower Canvas – The Mist

Mist

Mist 2

I love this prop. Who couldn’t appreciate a piece that ties Clint Eastwood, Drew Struzan, Stephen King and Frank Darabont together. I love this picture so much, I have one in my own collection.

 

“Curvaceous Naked” Original Stop Motion Puppet – 043 – The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists!

Curve

Curve 2

Just cracks me up. Brilliant.

 

Medium Springbok Flag – Invictus

Invictus 2

Invictus

 

I pick this solely in the interest of self regarding nonsense.  I got to wave an almost identical flag on the set of Mr Eastwood’s film and this makes me feel important.  Feel free to pick one up and be like me.
