League of Extraordinary Bloggers :: Hollywood Memorabilia

Cool & Collected recently spearheaded a cross-blog weekly writing assignment, and Toyriffic is in for the fun!

This week's topic:   

You have an unlimited budget and space is not a problem. What piece of Hollywood memorabilia would you want hanging around in your batcave?

Hmm...well I suppose the all too obvious answer is the Batmobile from the sixties TV show, but that answer is such a no brainer that if I had an unlimited budget and unlimited space I would already own about ten of them on the first day I came into my money - a normal one, one with a truck bed, one stretched like a limo, a jacked-up monster truck version, a floating version, a hovercraft version...you get the idea.

Leaving the garage behind, let's stretch back in time a bit further (and also stretch the term 'Hollywood' to include...Berlin...) for inside my home I would have recreated in full size:

The robot Maria from Fritz Lang's Metropolis.

The original costume used in the movie was destroyed in a fire years ago. Below are pics of a full size replica built in 1976 by effects artist Bill Malone.

Original or replica, this would be an awesome thing to have in the living room!
