A serious discussion about Spartacus Costumes and props

[Screencaptured]

Very cool. Fiberglass? My friend was good pals with Jody Samson. Even worked with him on a couple features. I know another collector who got one of Arnold's swords direct from him over 20 years ago! Hang on to that. I think the last one went at auction nearly 1/4 million.

Screencaptured yeah fibreglass stunt, but I also have arnies sheath from destroyer which is a one of a kind. I have a metal sword which is Arnie's hero sword fro, red Sonja. My favourite of all piece of all though has to be his pendandt

Damn, that's a hell or a collection.

Love the Spartacus props I got into it late and missed most of the auctions. Snagged this but missing greaves, cuffs and sandals (shield is replica that i have to severely weather to match)

Was looking up something else (mostly lurk here) but saw this thread and wanted to contribute.

- Training shield/gladius - I have since had the sword signed by Manu Bennet and Liam McIntrye at D*C last year
- Murmillo shield from the primus in 'Gods of the Arena' (pretty sure it is the one in Skyball's avatar - I couldn't expand the image to view) - one of Solonius's man decapitated by Crixus in the second half
-an unnamed gladiator outfit manica/greave/belt/padding/hand wrap/etc that I haven't been able to screen match
-couple of tunics and a cloak - I was trying to get one but happened to win two lots

I was really wanting one of the 'steel' manicas worn by the Batiatus gladiators but never was able to win any of those lots. I have since commissioned a guy that had worked on the show to do one and love it. I have since had him do a matching belt and greaves but haven't gotten to them yet (just arrived in the mail, but too busy this week). I have since listed my show gladiator set for sale elsewhere.

I was really wanting character specific pieces but couldn't afford it at the time so the practice shield/sword was as close as I could get.

Thanks screencaptured, I have a ton more but displaying, storage and the missus are the problem!

Yummy Spartacus! I also love Spartacus weapons and am always looking on ebay, but yes- prices on swords are crazy high right now... pardon the dark pics:

hi, love the topic. so many cool collections!!!!

spartacus is my first entry into the world of props. big fan of the show and got some stuff from the VIP auctions last year.
a couple gowns from the character "Seppia" a "Seppia dagger" a "stunt Ceasar" outfit and a couple "Tiberius" tunics. also a pit fighter mask and gloves.



always on the lookout.

 

[setdeznr]

It's really neat to see other people's collections! I'm VERY grateful to VIP for some awesome auction items that really do (mostly) sell for reasonable prices considering there is no buyers premium. The quality of the Spartacus props and costumes are MIND BLOWING. I have some full rebel costumes (with helmets) superbly detailed that I got for under $250. Unbelievable.

 

[carterfan]

I recognize that helmet Karen! LOL Which knife is that next to the blacksmith sword? If anyone has an agron dagger they are willing to part with or a Mira dagger let me know

skyball: Cheers man, PM incoming

 

[skyball]

Awesome display guys, really impressed and glad i put this topic up. Your right about Vip, aside from the fact that they are the most helpful, personable and friendly team I have had the pleasure of dealing with in 16 years of collecting, they give us a chance to buy something without spending a fortune each time. If our oieces were on Propstre, they would have been 4 times more expensive. Here is a photo of onw of my favourite pieces, I wear this bronze one everyday and people ask me about it all the time, I do have the honour of working around the Colosseum and forum, so it is in a good location!

 

[booger_viper]

This was the gladiator set I had that just sold. I am shipping it out in the AM, but if anyone wanted any photos of anything first, let me know.

I am uploading shield pics right now.

 

[booger_viper]

Here is the front and back of the shield from Skyball's avatar.

I noticed a minor little detail from some of the other auctions. There were several for quadrens belonging to Crixus, and I don't ever remember seeing him with it in the show or using them in a fight. Maybe it was edited out, but there are marks of a hit from one just above the boss.
Edit: this was used buy a guy he killed in 'Gods of the Arena'

 

[skyball]

There were quite a few pieces from main characters that never appeared in the show. i have a set of Crixus black gauntlets, with this hand carved feather and crows face, beautifil piece but cannot for the life if me see them. i need to watch again, but the face of the crow is the same as the one he has on his belt.

 

[leatherneck]

I came really close to grabbing that set. Saw it listed for sale a couple of weeks ago. I wished I would have know that it was from someone here, would have gotten it for sure.

I think looking at allot of the collections here, that we bid against each other many a time!

 

[skyball]

Anyome know who got Caesars full outfit? Would do anything for his wolf ring!!!

 

[mfgundlach]

Nice collections everybody, I bought a small fortune in props and costumes when VIP was auctioning everything off, when I have chance I'll take pictures, in the photo I do have is a gannicus rudis and sword, and a prop dagger from the ludis. Most of my bidding was on gannicus outfits and props, but I was able to get the prop spears that was used to kill spartacus along with the chest harness.

 

[skyball]

@mfgundlach love the rudis, was dissapointed it was in foam rubber though. But we hid against eqch other for it, it went for a crazy price in the end. Great piece though. BBBBut I did get. Ganiccus belt and gaunlet decorations, if you are interested in swopping any pieces let me know!
