From June 28-30, the Propstore Los Angeles team will be putting more than 1,400 movie and TV treasures up for auction, with a total value of over $12 million. After last year\u2019s auction saw an ultra-rare Star Wars<\/em> X-wing miniature sell for $2,375,000, we expect this year\u2019s to feature some big bids, given the astonishing quality of what we have on offer \u2013 including some truly impressive artifacts, as my 10-strong selection of highlights reveals\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Princess Leia\u2019s Screen-Matched Ceremonial Dress
Star Wars: A New Hope (1977)<\/strong>
Est. $1,000,000-2,000,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

This gown from cinema\u2019s most famous medal ceremony is the only known Leia costume known to have survived since George Lucas made Star Wars<\/em> back in 1977. This makes it one of the most exciting items we\u2019ve ever auctioned, a true rarity from one of the most popular movies ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Batman’s Batpod
The Dark Knight (2008)
<\/strong>Est: $1,000,000-2,000,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Christopher Nolan likes to do things for real<\/em>, so it should come as no surprise that this stunningly impressive Batpod is a working vehicle, complete with a Honda 740 engine. Not that we\u2019d recommend taking it for a spin \u2013 it took a highly trained stunt driver (Jean-Pierre Goy) to ride it during production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Andy Dufresne\u2019s distressed rock hammer
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
<\/strong>Est: $50,000-100,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Some lots, I find, come loaded with emotional power, and that\u2019s certainly true of this partially distressed rock hammer, used by the wrongly incarcerated Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) to tunnel his way out of prison over many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Harry Potter\u2019s distressed costume and glasses
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
<\/strong>Est: $75,000-150,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Complete with a pair of unmistakeable round glasses, this has to be one of the world\u2019s most recognisable school uniforms. Worn by Daniel Radcliffe during the basilisk-battling climax of the second Harry Potter movie, it bears the marks of battle, being stained with mud and blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Screen-matched evil clown doll
Poltergeist (1982)
<\/strong>Est: $200,000-400,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The Steven Spielberg-produced Poltergeist<\/em> was one of the \u201980s\u2019 biggest creep shows, thanks in no small part to this terrifying clown doll which, in the film, tries to throttle young Robbie Freeling (Oliver Robins). One of only two dolls made for production, this one can be matched to the clown seen on screen though the cracks in its plaster head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Peter Quill\u2019s light-up Star-Lord helmet
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
<\/strong>Est: $100,000-200,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

As worn by Peter Quill aka Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) in the first Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>, this iconic piece of sci-fi headwear has light-up eye pieces that glow red when switched on. It\u2019s just one of a number of Marvel-movie items we have in this auction, also including Jane Foster\u2019s hammer from the most recent Thor<\/em> film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Norris spider-head Thing
The Thing (1982)
<\/strong>Est: $100,000-200,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

One of the all-time great movie monsters, John Carpenter\u2019s The Thing made its greatest impact in the scene where it sprouted spider legs from the decapitated head of parasite victim Norris (Charles Hallahan). Created by makeup master Rob Bottin, this is a static prop that comes from the family of sculptor Henry Alvarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The Dude\u2019s screen-matched sunglasses
The Big Lebowski (1998)
<\/strong>Est: $5,000-10,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

The enduring cult appeal of Coen brothers\u2019 crime-comedy The Big Lebowski<\/em> can\u2019t be underestimated, which is why we\u2019re so thrilled to have several treasures from the film, including these Vuarnet Black Legend 03 sunglasses, worn by Jeff Bridges in the film\u2019s opening scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Maverick\u2019s F-14A Tomcat miniature model
Top Gun (1986)
<\/strong>Est: $8,000-16,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

If you feel the need, the need for speed, then look no further than this wonderfully detailed miniature model of Pete \u201cMaverick\u201d Mitchell\u2019s (Tom Cruise) F-14A Tomcat, which was used for visual effects scenes seamlessly blended by director Tony Scott with live-action photography to create the film\u2019s still-astonishing aerial sequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Rose DeWitt Bukater\u2019s sinking coat
Titanic (1997)
<\/strong>Est: $100,000-200,000<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Movies don\u2019t come much bigger than Titanic, and they don\u2019t come much harder to shoot, either. For the film\u2019s gruelling final-act, star Kate Winslet got through several of these pink \u201csinking coats\u201d, which really suffered in the wet water-tank conditions. This one is labelled \u201c2\u201d, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
