My Rocketeer Collection Update 12/6 Production Lucky Lindy Maquette

EvilRocketeer · 02-23-2010, 05:26 PM

I been a hardcore finhead for the past several years. I guess my fascination started when I saw the Rocketeer on opening day when I was 6 years old (I'm 26 now). My collection started with a cheap applause vinyl rocketeer doll that I received for christmas. Like most childhood toys, it was thrown out by my parents a few years later. For my 18th b-day, my brother surprised me with the same doll. From that day on I decided to just collect rocketeer memorabilia, and to reconnect with my favorite child-hood movie. Since then, my collection has grown enormously.

I have more items aka props and things but they are in boxes..If you have any questions, please feel free to ask..Fyi, Some areas in pictures will be blurred because they contain personal information of crew members, disney prop house barcodes et etc...

my new room layout

Screen-used/Production Props:

Design Setters Production Helmets. These came from the original mold. Painted with the same paint as the screen-used helmets. Everything is original. These were made during the same time as the Hero helmets.The helmet to the left is the raw casting from the original mold and helmet to the right is a fully finished helmet. They came from a design setters crew member. The lenses are kept in a box for safe keeping.

Production-Used Lower Harness Buckle. I got this buckle directly from a Crew member that worked on the film.

Two Movie Prop Paintings. These paintings were used in Neville Sinclair's Layer..The painting on the left is the painting used in the radio room scene where Jenny discovers neville is a nazi. The painting on the right is seen in the background where eddie valentine is threaten by neville with his sword aka the scene where neville reveals the package is a rocket to eddie valentine and his two mobsters...The painting covers my whole wall. It is about 10 feet wide...

You certainly live up to your name, EvilRocketeer. Posting that can only generate the sinful feeling of envy in any FinHeads who see it!

Amazing collection!

Hirohawa · 02-24-2010, 01:32 AM

Awesome!

The Wolf · 02-24-2010, 02:24 AM

Fantastic collection!!

I would be proud to have 1/10 of that.
Do you have the 3-d comic book with "3-d audio" cassette or activity books that Golden Books put out with the eight pages of color pictures from the movie in the middle?
There was also a little plastic container that looked like the Rocketeer where you pull off the head to pour out the gum.

Did you make the fan-made pack? I got this pack maybe a year ago from a collector in west covina. He couldnt remember where he got it from.

I havent been able to purchase some comics or the candy items. I try to hold off on the knick knacks as of right now, so I can have more money to spend on the harder to find items. When I get to the point of not knowing what else to purchase, than I will start purchasing the knick knacks..As of right now, I want to get a more authentic jacket, fix up the acme rocket pack, and pay off my sideshow exclusive premium format figure..However, I do have some comics and Birthday Rocketeer Cards

Please do! I think it's appropriate.

So, I was going to resist, but since someone else asked about specific items - do you have the tin (I think, metal of some kind in any case) square sign they put out at the time of the move? Yellow and brown/orange border, with artwork similar to the second print you've got above. I used to have it hanging behind my MEAGER, MEASELY, WORTHLESS collection!

I haven't seen it since my move a few years back - hopefully it's still with the rest of my bundled posters and frames.

Tambo Fett · 02-24-2010, 08:24 PM

Impressive collection for a great film. Thanks for sharing.
