The screen used Thor helmet was also painted! I specifically asked the guys at Ironhead about that! The one that i saw at Comic Con last year, I could have sworn it looked plated, but NO! it was painted!
Please only rely on information from us or one of our authorized retailers, everything else are just rumors or assumptions!
The Shield will not be $1500, the press release just tells the price range of items that we may be doing. . .
The Thor helmet was not plated, it was actually painted. . ...
Many things have changed since the MR days! Back then we only had access to photos and never the actual props. Times have changed and we now have access to the original props, even the original molds, so there are no "assumptions" or guessing in this new line or replicas!
We are really excited to be the new worldwide licensee for MARVEL prop replicas and collectibles. Our license does not only include the upcoming Avengers movie, it includes some of the previous MARVEL films and the comic book universe!
Let me give you a little insight into our new line of prop...
