Enter the Underworld! - Selene & Sonja

wow! Cant say im not Jealous i would love to have that at home

Thank you, I've very pleased with it so far, I'm working on a themed base for her and trying to track down some of the missing parts.

Just for fun here's a shot of her with the other displays:

That looks superb. I'm dead jealous as I would love the corset and catsuit.

I don't think you would look very good wearing that mate lol your too tall

Thanks guys! I've had a few PM's asking me about casts of Sonja's necklace. Although I'm not against the idea, I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable about it, so I could do with some info on how to mold it and not damage the finish, paint-job or weathering in any way.
Just a quick shot for those interested, here's the Hero necklace next to the popular eBay replica:

you should speak to Ricahrd Martin about helping you out with these, he works proffesionally doing this kind of stuff

he would also be able to hook you up very nicely with some custom made heads for all those mannequins would be awsome if you had the likeness of them their too as well as the actual costume from the film , I don't think it would get much better

Very impressive display! I'm a fan of the Underworld franchise as well. Totally envious!

Very nice!

I too love Underworld, and have a DeathDealer and Cleaners costume.

Looking forward to seeing the stand when you finish it.

Tom Spina did a nice stand for someone else with a Selene costume:

very nice collection

@Guardian very nice collection. I have the costume as well. I have a question for you. I'm about to retire the costume soon and am getting some mannequins for some of my costumes and was wondering how you got them to stand without a base?
I saw someone on here that had a bad ass stand and was thinking of getting something similar.

Acquisitions to make many an Underworld fan envious.
Very nice indeed.

Thanks guys, I can't express how happy I am with this costume and the display - I've fixed a few issues with it and am now starting on a Leeloo display

I was actually admiring pictures of your costume just a few moments ago, one of the most accurate replicas I've seen. Very well made if you would like some close ups of the original for a few of the details, let me know

There's no real trick to how I get them to stand un-aided really, I use Eco-friendly mannequins, so they're recyclable materials and extremely light weight, so the heaviest part of the costume (generally the boots) holds them nicely in place! - though it doesn't work so well for costumes with helmets I'm afraid!

Wow Nick! This is great... congrats on the costume. I love your set up and your amazing collection of on-screen goodies.

The costume is actually screen accurate we got the costume details from the original costume designer of the film a few years ago My coat is actually more accurate then some of the stunt doubles hehee.
I was thinking of getting a base stand that looks like stone like another prop maker made on here, looks so cool

It's cool you collect so many cool costumes, I live here in LA and my friends work with screen worn suits all the time for clients seen 5 or 6 of the screen used Hero costumes worn by Kate and her double Nicole Randall, I am going to get hopefully the throwing star soon. I'm doing the costume at WonderCon and after that it's going to be retired hence really wanting a great mannequin. Your collection rocks!

Well like I said mine is screen accurate other then the boots cuz they were just to hard to make. She uses three different coats including poster to film stills, she switches her boots out three times and even in the current one they are different as well. We have all the corset details and coat correctly we've had them side by side The collar is the only thing off and I always forgot to tighten it in pictures later we'll fix that, but other then that it's fine. Anyhoo don't want to be a pain and argue back and forth as I am new here, Thanks for the information. I appreciate your comments.

We just got the details for the New coat she's wearing in Awakenings and I'll have that in a few weeks. Or at least in time for Wondercon.

I will send Tom a email, I'm moving back to Boston in June so I may wait, so I don't have to move additional stuff.

What else is on your list of future buys?


[QUOTE=Guardian Devil;2079685]Thank you very much! There's more on the way, it's getting out of control
Take a close look at the catsuit in the film (or on the posters etc) and and you'll notice some of the details I mean (visible/hidden zipper, collar missing clips/buckles, corset side 'bones' etc), but as I said if you'd like some close up pics or info on those details or any others let me know, unless of course you've updated it with the screen accurate one since then, in which case I'd love to see some updated pics
Darth Mule here on the board made an unbelievable replica for his girlfriend, that will show up with a quick search, like yours it's very worthy of a nice display - makes me feel bad that I put no effort in

I didn't realise anybody was arguing

Much appreciate that, my friend. For sure I will be in touch. Again, big congrats for the suit and much props to your amazing displays and collection.

Nice looking props from two great movies WOW!!!!!

That's awesome!

thank you. Not a newer picture, but here's a clearer version of the image above:

Nice diplay. Seems like it's getting a little difficult to track down screen used underworld stuff these days.
