Hi, guys.
Quick question. I noticed a few guys here have at one time owned one of the Unbreakable Ponchos used in production of the film. I have been interested in aquiring one of these, but something has always bothered me, and I've yet to see anyone else make mention of it.
I understand that many versions, as well as multples, are made for production, and unless there are specific tell tale signs that something was actually "screen worn", it's oftentimes diffcult to assertain whether it actually was, and that's fine, I'm happy either way, but there's something about these particular pieces that just seem off to me somehow...
I don't know if it's the same one changing hands every few months or there are several, all of the pics online are identicle, but You'll notice in the included sale pics, that the "seam" or "flap" in the prop hood is facing the opposite direction from the one in the film. Now, you could always argue that the negative was flipped, perhaps, but in both cases you can clearly see the "FSU" is not backwards, so I'm just a bit confused.
Now, I'm certainly not questioning their authenticty, as all of the sales I've seen for these have been through reputable dealers, but can anyone explain the discrepancy here? Am I missing something? Like I said, I'm not picky about whether it was seen "on screen", but I'd at least like an accurate version.
Thanks!
