Re: My Rocketeer Collection aka my finhead obsession (Pic hEAVY)
The rocketeer costume is one of my favorite super hero costumes growing up...I been wanting to put together a more accurate costume, but I just havent had the time. Also, it is really expensive to put the whole thing together. When you decide to put it together, let me know and I can tell all the places to get everything.
I recently picked up a few more rocketeer items: lobby cards, signed postcards, and another marketing guide the studio used.

thumbsup, wish I had the space and $$ to have a collection as nice as this. My wife would boot me out though I'm afraid.

Hey great collection and it was great seeing it at the Prop Party.
I had a chance to pick up the Mauser at the party and it had a good solid weight to it. What company made that? There is a metal version on ebay that seems to be cheap or was yours another version?

awesome collection!! It's so comprehensive. :thumbsup
What really caught my eye were those bronze bowen statues. very very nice.
Those by far aren't the "best" props you have there... I just like the look of them. Those accurate helmet castings are really cool too
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Guys for all of the compliments :thumbsup
I am not really sure which company made it or what version mine is. I bought it a year or so ago on the evilbay. It is a gas gun, and I the owner mentioned he upgraded it? I never owned a gas gun before, so I really didnt know what he meant. I love the gun.
Yeah, I was fortunate mine didnt crack while it was being shipped. The seller sold three of them, and mine was the only one that made all the way without being damaged.
Haha, I thought about making a version of it, but I figured it would be lost among the pile of certificates and paperwork.
ACME still fabricates the jetpack. It is very costly, but it is a great kit. If you are interested, shoot me a pm, and i will give you the contact number to acme.
The bronze bowen statues are great pieces. They have a lot of history or story behind them. At first, they were planning to make 500 hot-cast bronze statues but stopped after 50. This is where it gets a little tricky. It was said that only 50 of them exist, but other reports say only 35 of them were actually sold because 15 of them were somewhat damage or unsellable. I was able to find two other collectors with the statue, and they both have numbers under 35. Also, there were 10 resin versions made during the same time the hot-cast versions were created. These are not the bowen version. So technically, three versions exist: hot-cast bronze (35 or 50), resin version (10), bowen (1,000)...
Unfortunately, he never had the chance to see it. It is sad because I found out recently that he lived really close by and frequent a comic book store in orange. Also, I didnt get most of my movie props until a few months after he passed away. However, one of his close personal friends have seen it, and a few crew members have seen my collection.
Haha, great Idea. I would have to wear my fan made pack though because I wouldnt want to risk damaging the acme kit.
I plan on updating the original post in a few more days...I have several items on the way! I cant wait to finally get them..
