Do you love to collect movie memorabilia? Would you love to make a room in your home look more like a movie theater to complement your home theater setup? If the answer to those questions is “yes,” then you need to start looking for movie theater memorabilia.

One of the easiest things to find is movie posters. You can find them online very easily, but the price of the poster depends on the size, the age of the film and the authenticity of the poster. While reproductions of 27×41 one-sheets that movie theaters display outside are easy to find, originals can be expensive, especially for movies as old as “Gone With The Wind,” “The Wizard of Oz,” and “Casablanca.” Even original posters from 1960s and 1970s films, such as “Lawrence of Arabia,” “The Sound of Music,” and “Star Wars,” can cost more than those of the latest Hollywood releases. But they are sure to look great in your home and, if you take good care of them, can appreciate in value.

Another nifty piece of movie theater memorabilia is a film reel. As more theaters are switching to digital projection, they no longer need their film equipment. You can use a film reel for any number of things. Perhaps you can have it made into a clock! Go to the manager of a movie theater in your area and ask them if they have any surplus supplies. If they have anything you want, try to negotiate a good deal.

In addition, search for used motion picture equipment dealers online or check eBay for the equipment. Always make sure to set a budget so that you don’t go overboard.

Well, the fact is that because they are so well-liked with both children and collectors alike, some people are making a lovely living out of trading anime toys both on and off line. Making money from your hobby is both fun and fairly simple, if you know what you are doing. It is definitely possible for you to turn a profit from them too.

There are prerequisites to making money from any hobby and trading in anime toys is no exception. You have to actually immerse yourself in the toys and know which ones are difficult to acquire and which ones are the most well-liked with enthusiasts. You can acquire this information by reading, but to be honest, if you do not already know it, you are probably not interested enough.

If you are not au fait with anime toys, try applying these principles to what you are interested in. Anyway, returning to anime. There are comics, books and films that you should become familiar with before you can have enough knowledge to start trading. You have to know the characters and even their personalities.

The easiest way to start is if you sell what you already have. If you have looked after them, they could be worth quite a lot of money otherwise they will attract a reduced price. This is not necessarily a difficulty. Sell all your old stuff but use that money to purchase the most well-liked figures of anime toys that you can afford, but purchase it ‘as new’ and boxed in its original carton.

The main collectors will only buy ‘new unused’ in its original packaging, so this is the level that you have to aim for. Anything that is second best, unless it is very rare is a waste of money and is only good enough for children to play with. Real collectors just invest in the best – think of coins and stamps.

By selling off your used anime toys, you can attain a couple of objectives: you will be ‘clearing the decks’ and also furnishing yourself with start-up capital. Frequently, it is a lack of start up capital that stops individuals from ‘having a go’. If it does not cost you anything other than your old toys, which I am certain you will have already grown out of, if you are considering dealing in them, you will not be speculating with your own money really.

The way to begin is to sell your old stuff in order to acquire start up capital and then use your specialist information to buy anime toys that are only in the very best condition. Then you work your way up the ladder until you are buying ang selling off line locally or further afield at toy fayres but also on line, say on eBay, in just the very best examples of anime toys. Stick with it and you can earn money, if you are passionate about your niche.

How do you put it all together?

I have just begun redecorating my room & I have too many ideas floating in my head. People keep advising I just add my personality, but that’s the problem.

My style is pin up/rockabilly. Personality- bold & spontaneous & loud. I would love to have a bright color, like red. Love cheetah print! Maybe the bedding. Have a ton of classic horror movie posters, pin up & political memorabilia i would like to incorporate. I just don not want it to be too overwhelming.

I’m also a very outdoorsy person & love nature & photography. I meditate & would like to be a “zen space” as well. Live near the beach & LOVE to put some aspect of it in my bedroom. have some bamboo ceilings or as stupid as it might sound, just something to give it a “beachy” feel.

Any ideas on what i should do?

You sound like alot of fun! That’s alot of theme to try to put into one room. What if you put your posters into frames, like a movie theater, gives it a little more class. Use your sense of humor to incorporate the political memorabilia. Something has got to give with the cheetah prints and red paint and posters….not practicle together, sounds like the Cheetos tiger on drugs LOL, use one thing at a time…go very simple and sit on the bed and think, now what does this wall need. Easy does it.

Finding replicas of the movie props is considerably easier. Most movies have them and by buying a replica you can save yourself a ton of money. Here are some of the ones that we found.

From Jonah Hex to Star Trek these are some pieces that you can add to your collection at really reasonable prices.

If you have a slightly bigger budget there are replica companies that produce extremely realistic replicas from your favorite movies.

Here are a few replica movie props that we thought were particularly good:

1) Magnetos Helmet

2) Iron Man Helmet

3)Sword of Sparta

4) Indiana Jones Fertility Idol

5) Predator Movie Prop

6) Battle Damaged Predator Mask Movie Prop

7) Batmobile Prop Replica

Yeah! I was excited about the Batmobile movie replica too. I mean how cool would it be to own that!

Yes, it isn’t the original but who has the money for that in this economy. Get movie props that make you happy, that you can proudly display and then smile even wider when you realize that what you saved on one original piece can buy two or three replica movie props.

If you are a collector there are plenty to choose from. These action figures look almost exactly like the characters from the Halo game. Most come with weapons and some come with vehicles. Other vehicles can be bought separately.

If you are getting these as a gift for someone, ask ahead of time what they have. There are so many available that it would be a shame to get him or her one that he already has.

The hologram ones are actually pretty cool. And there is even a helmet collection that will fit on almost all of these action figures.

The ghost vehicle deluxe set would also make a pretty awesome gift. Oh and the action figures with the rocket launchers are pretty cool tool.

There are male and female characters to choose from, which is nice to see. The Halo odd pods are just that – odd. They are more in the cute category, while the other action figures seem like they would be a lot more fun to play with.

I know my friend’s son prefers the ones with the guns and special cars over the Halo odd pods and is always asking for the other action figures to add to his collection. Anything that can be launched or crashed is usually a big hit with him.

Although he has many of the other toys  in the McFarlane collection, out of all of the McFarlane toys Halo figures are his favorite, even above and beyond the sports figures. There just seems like there is more that you can do with them and there are a ton more accessories for him to play with. He can spend hours playing with this set alone and has to be dragged away from the McFarlane toys Halo figures when it is time for supper or bed.

NBA McFarlane Toys – Action Figures

And finally there is the McFarlane Toys Major League Baseball Selection

When it comes to sports memorabilia, there is a ton to choose from and collect and the design just keeps getting better and better. These are really realistic which is a trademark of McFarlane toys and why people search for this brand specifically.

There are just so many cool things to choose from. My favorite out of these Wonder Woman gifts are the sneakers. I have never seen any like those before. I also went ahead and found the Wonder Woman boots and lasso for those of you putting together a costume.



And then just when I thought I was done I found these awesome Wonder Woman Gifts like her dolls, statues and bust:



I will be updating this post often, I am sure. I am just having too much fun finding this stuff for you. I mean did you see the vintage tin tote? If my little cousins weren’t “too grown up” to bring a lunch box to school I would get it for them. Instead I just may get it for myself to carry around my art supplies.

Hey Wonder Woman Gifts don’t just have to be for others, right?

]]> http://moviecollectiblesstore.com/wonder-women-gifts-and-accessories/feed/ 0 Twilight Jewelry for Bella, Jacob, Edward and Victoria and Alice http://moviecollectiblesstore.com/twilight-jewelry-for-bella-jacob-edward-and-victoria-and-alice/ http://moviecollectiblesstore.com/twilight-jewelry-for-bella-jacob-edward-and-victoria-and-alice/#comments Thu, 09 Jun 2011 14:20:33 +0000 admin http://moviecollectiblesstore.com/?p=75 Twilight Jewelry has become the newest collectors item in the Twilight series. You can purchase Bella’s ring, charms made for team Jacob or team Edward, Victoria’s pendant or Alice’s choker necklace. And then you can even get the Twilight music box to keep them all in.

If you are planning to get these items as a gift for a girl who is really into the Twilight series, she will undoubtedly love them. As I have mentioned before, my niece is totally into the Harry Potter series. When my mom got her Hermione’s jewlery the kid just about flipped out.

I can only imagine that it would be the same with teenage girls who are gagga over Edward or Jacob or who picture themselves as Bella.



I happen to like Alice Twilight jewelry the best, simply because she is my favorite character. I mean, how cool would it be to be able to see into the future? It would be awesome if they did a series on her and what happened to her to make her the way she is. Her back story must be fascinating.

Anyway I digress, as usual, if there is a particular piece of Twilight jewelry from this any of the movies let me know and I will see if I can find the company that sells it. I happen to think collecting the jewelry boxes might be even cooler than the jewelry. I love the ones of Jacob and Edward.

A cool idea for a gift might be to get Bella’s ring and the jewelry box for either Edward or Jacob, depending on who she prefers or just go straight for the Bella and Edward jewelry box. Just a thought.

There are tons of things that you can get her from this series. I like the Twilight jewelry idea as a gift though because most kids will already have everything else from the series.

My sisters and I used to love to dress up like wonder woman and act out the different episodes. There was something so exciting about being able to make bullets bounce off the bracelets and making the bad guys talk buy wrapping them up with the golden lasso. The boys could keep their spiderman and superman. We had our invisible jets and cool accessories.

Here are some Wonder Woman costumes that we found for you



We are now on the hunt for Wonder Woman dolls and comics for you, as well, and I will post them as soon as I find them. I have to admit, it is really fun tracking these things down. It brings back some awesome memories. At the same time I am kicking myself for not keeping the Wonder Woman and Bionic woman dolls that I had when I was a kid.

Would they have been in mint condition? Not a chance. I played with them way too much. But they would have been really cool to pass down to my niece. She and I watched a few of the old Wonder Woman episodes on my last trip up and she really got into it.

The odd thing is that I had forgotten about the whole war time slant. I remembered that Diana worked for the military and fought the “bad guys” but I had completely blocked out which war was going on. That part never factored into our play. We just tied up one of our cousins up with the lasso and hoped the adults stayed occupied until the scene we were working on was over. Wouldn’t it would be nice to go back to that child like innocence?

And I suppose you can when you order your wonder woman costumes for your child or yourself for Halloween. Have fun!
