Thats an amazing collection of TDK/Begins props! I haven't seen many collections that large of Batman props.

Re: My TDK/Begins props & replicas
Thanks mate !
To be honest it's more of a "Nolan Batman movies" collection rather than a Batman only kind of thing. I collect pretty much everything related to both movies, whether it is screen used, replica or identical to the screen used props.
To some people it might look silly to collect items that do not have much to do with the plot or the characters themselves, but I can't explain how thrilling it is for me to study, hunt down and finally get my hands on items that can be seen in the movie, even if it's only a couple of seconds.
Many of the props I have are common items you can find everyday but I like how when they're displayed together with more iconic props they immediately throw you back in the movie by setting the whole mood of the display area.
The Joker's switchblade for example. It's quite famous, but displayed alone it's not very interesting. I mean it's just a knife.
Throw in a pair of handcuffs, a turnbull&asser tie, purple gloves, a bunch of cards, some jokerized dollars and have everything lying on a copy of the Gotham Times and you immediately feel like "Mmmh... The Joker's been there."
I love that.

Haha you're right. In fact i'm still on the hunt for the right type of pencil. Natural wood with chrome eraser holder and white eraser tip. I guess it's not that difficult to find but... Someday.
Thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got :thumbsup
About the cave, the one shown in Begins is okay but it looks too "unfinished" and empty for my taste. The TDK batcave at the contrary is way too technological and clean. I guess once Wayne Manor will be rebuilt and the foundations of the south east wing improved, we'll see the TRUE batcave with the TRUE Batmobile. I can't wait to see how they pull this off :love
You forgot the pencil...

Re: My TDK/Begins props & replicas
I use the bergsbo case for my props, I love it, everything I have fits in them, except the begins batsuit of course. I may have to modify the doors though, because some of the props are too tall and would go between 2 of the glass squares, but it is deep and wide enough where they all fit.

Turnbull and Asser are a tie making company, http://www.turnbullandasser.com/
they created the original for the film. They released a couple of short runs of the tie.
RG stands for Rubber Gorilla http://www.rubbergorilla.co.uk/
The mask was never in their catalogue and I think it was a very short run. I'd wager because they normally do generics and were scared of the heat from WB.

Re: My TDK/Begins props & replicas
They both can be obtained second hand, but the mask is quite rare and the tie rather expensive.
Indy Magnoli makes great replicas of the tie. In fact the T&A tie I have was used as a reference to make his replicas (I bought it from Nickytea who lent it to Indy).

Yes the RG sculpt is definitely a huge improvement over the THS mask. The only downer is the material used : Latex.
Even though it's pretty thick it won't keep its shape unless you stuff it with plastic bags or put it on a mannequin head. But to me the real issue is the smell. I'm not easily disturbed by odors, but man does it stink! That's not too far from what i'd imagine Chewbacca's arm pits would smell like after running around the DeathStar 15 times :sick
