S#!T You Want - Movie memorabilia week

Week 8 of Cool S#!T You Want comes to us this week via the force. For this our 2 month special, we here at ShogunGamer decided to take a look at the goods that give films that extra bit of greatness. The iconic pieces, the rare gems, and the geekdom trophies that give movies, a special aura about them.

With this in mind we collected some reproductions, fan favorites and rare one of a kind pieces for your viewing pleasure. So sit back, kick up your feet and pull out that credit card. eBay is calling your name.

As always, if you or your company have a product or service you think we at Shogungamer would call some excellent Cool S#!T. Feel free to contact me via Michael-Sean, and I will be sure to contact you with all the information we require, Enjoy!

What is it: Iron Man Mark III maquette

Why would it be cool to own: Most of us out there like to own statues of our favorite game, anime or movie characters but usually these come in the 12-inch or smaller variety.  Well Sideshow Collectibles is giving us an insane amount of goodness with the Iron Man Mark III maquette which comes in at a whopping size of 3ft. 4-inches tall. This maquette was used in the development of the Iron Man armor for the movie so you're literally owning what the effects masters used to make Iron Man the badass he was in the film. The product is an amazing recreation of the suit of armor seen in the Iron Man movie and has an insane amount of detail including light up eyes.

Why can't I have it: Sadly the amazing maquette is priced at a steep $1949.99. So unless you have a lot of extra cash in your account or are a huge Iron Man fan chances are you won't be able to get this goodness.That is unless you don't eat or purchase anything for 3 months or more.

What is it: Spartan Sword and Scabard Display from 300

Why it would be cool to own: How about because the movie 300 was a mind blowing movie which was absolutely intense?  Because I love to collect weapons of all kinds?  Or maybe just that this sword looks absolutely bad-ass and is certified to have actually been used in the movie?  Oh I know, because I want to be able to wave it around and yell "THIS...IS....SPARTA!!!!"

Why I can't have it: Well I suppose at $3000 USD it's technically not completely unaffordable, but realistically this is a bit much to spend on a display piece. I still have a few other tidbits higher on the must have list.

What it is: The Rocketeer's helmet and jacket.

Why it would be cool to own: Well firstly this is something that's been kicked around as an idea for a while after I "happened" upon a pair of "Rocketeer" gloves. I've always enjoyed the movie, and the costumes kicked as. Secondly I would never again need to worry about what to be for Halloween.

Why I can't have it:  Don't exactly have a grand to drop on these two pieces of merch at the moment. But if I every become rich and famous you bet your ass I'll have a closet full of these jackets.

What is it: Custom hand made Han Solo Carbonite desk designed by master craftsman Tom Spina.

Interview with Tom Spina:

CR: How long did the table take to make?

TS: The whole project from start to finish took place over the course of two months.

CR: What is the table made out of?

TS: The desk is made of four main components: two internally-lit side panels, the iconic “carbonite block” and a glass work surface. The side panels feature computer-cut steel housings with tinted acrylic accents backlit by internal lighting. The “carbonite” section began life as a licensed Star Wars prop from the 90's, which was refit into a custom fabricated sheet steel housing and embellished with resin fan-created pieces cast from "found objects" such as an old car dash! The 1/2" thick glass work surface is suspended over the desk's frozen prisoner with eight custom metal supports.

CR: Okay, I have to ask this question even though it will probably make me sad. *sigh* How much does this bad boy cost?

TS: The particular desk you see in the photo is not available for sale. But for anyone interested in commissioning Tom Spina designs to create a one of a kind piece such as a sculpture of furniture, they can expect something between the range of $5,000 and $10,000 or more. This of course is totally dependant on what you want to build and the materials needed.

CR: That is dangerously more affordable then I expected for something that amazing. Remind me to hide my credit card. Thanks for the interview Tom!

TS: Thanks for featuring us. It's Nice to see the Turtle made the list too. That restoration was a really challenging project but the result was something we're really proud of here! Feel free to email anytime if you see other "S#!T" on our site that you'd like to feature :)

Why it would be cool to own: You did look at the picture right? It's a f***ing desk made out of a life sized replica of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite. There is no explanation needed as to why this would be cool to own.

Why I can't have it: It's a one of a kind piece of work that was built for Mark Hall of the Grammy Award winning group Casting Crowns. Also, I don't have a few G's laying around right now. But if I did, I think we all know where it would be invested. God that table is sexy.

What is it: TMNT full suit from the original movies

Why it would be cool to own: This week it took me so long to narrow my choice down to something that was cool and in some way had a movie behind it that altered my life. After searching and looking at other ShogunGamer submissions I was still at a loss before I remembered seeing this beauty on Tom Spina's site. He did a fantastic restoration of the original suit and built a snappy display stand and base for it.

But my god could you imagine owning this? Not even gonna lie, this is one of the only movie props that might potentially get you laid. The only other prop that has that kind of gravity would be a proton pack.

Why I can't have it: If i had one I wouldn't sell it. That similar attitude is common amongst those who have them. Maybe i can find one at a movie set estate sale in the future. Besides that I am pretty sure they are REALLY expensive.
