As resident experts on all of our paraphernalia, memorabilia and movie relics, our team are a great place to begin. After all, they know our collection inside out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\">Last time we spoke to our UK warehouse manager Paul Wallis to find out which pieces of cinematic history he&#8217;d love to get his hands on. This week it&#8217;s the turn of Cara Kimber, our knowledgeable UK research assistant. ..<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\">It&#8217;s Cara&#8217;s job to trace and uncover the history of the many items in our collection, from proving provenance, to sharing their stories with our customers. Here are the 5 items Cara would most like to snaffle from the Propstore vaults.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><strong>1.

article__paragraph\">The three movies which make up <em>The Lord of the Rings Trilogy<\/em> are my personal, all-time favourite films. I am particularly fond of the Prancing Pony sequence in the first film <em>The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em> when Merry discovers that beer comes served in pints and Pippin simply <em>has<\/em> to have one too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\">The two Hobbits, played with perfect pitch by Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, provide much of the comedic value throughout the trilogy. This tankard (which comes complete with its original certificate of authenticity from New Line Cinema) is a great memento from an epic franchise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lord of the Rings - It Comes in Pints\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bmFnv-TZzRs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> The Goonies &#8211; Pirate Treasure Coins<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_1.jpg\"rel=\"gallery[london]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5169 article__image\" src=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_1-286x300.jpg\" alt=\"50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_1\" width=\"286\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_1-286x300.jpg 286w, https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_1-977x1024.jpg 977w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 286px) 100vw, 286px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_3.jpg\"rel=\"gallery[london]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5170 article__image\" src=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_3\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/50803_Goonies_Pirate_Treasure_Coin_4_3-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\">I grew up with <em>The Goonies,<\/em> wishing I could one day set out on an great big adventure and find treasure at the end of it, just like the movie&#8217;s stars.

The coin itself may have a double value too, it&#8217;s likely that it was re-purposed in Spielberg&#8217;s 1991 movie <em>Hook<\/em>, starring the late Robin Williams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><strong>\u00a03.\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Van Helsing &#8211; Dwergi Full Costume with Mask &amp; Goggles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_1.jpg\"rel=\"gallery[london]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5172 article__image\" src=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_1-140x300.jpg\" alt=\"Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_1\" width=\"140\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_1-140x300.jpg 140w, https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_1-478x1024.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 140px) 100vw, 140px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_2.jpg\"rel=\"gallery[london]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5173 article__image\" src=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_2-157x300.jpg\" alt=\"Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_2\" width=\"157\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_2-157x300.jpg 157w, https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_2-536x1024.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_6.jpg\"rel=\"gallery[london]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5174 article__image\" src=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_6-150x300.jpg\" alt=\"Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_6\" width=\"150\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_6-150x300.jpg 150w, https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_6-512x1024.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_8.jpg\"rel=\"gallery[london]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5175 article__image\" src=\"http:\/\/propstore.loc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_8-271x300.jpg\" alt=\"Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_8\" width=\"271\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_8-271x300.jpg 271w, https:\/\/content.propstore.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Van_Helsing_Minion_Costume_1_8-927x1024.jpg 927w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 271px) 100vw, 271px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\">As a researcher, it&#8217;s my job to look deep into movie history, which gives me plenty of opportunity to delve into the rich mythology which surrounds the Dracula myth. The recent vogue for all things vampire on the silver screen has only added to the wealth of movies all tackling the fascinating myths woven around these fantastical creatures over the centuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\">The Van Helsing movie is one great example of the recent resurgence of Dracula (and his ilk) on our screens. It&#8217;s a favourite of mine and I think this Dwergi costume (worn by Dracula&#8217;s minions) looks absolutely amazing; an impressive piece of costumery and a great reminder from one of my favourite films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><strong>4.

I love the gadgets he sets up in the Plummer&#8217;s residence and how they react to having the marine infiltrate their everyday lives. This is a functioning prop which makes it just that bit more interesting and unique.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><em>What are your favourite film props?<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p-r article__paragraph\"><em> Now you&#8217;ve discovered Cara&#8217;s favourite items from the Propstore archives, why not explore our collection online and share your ultimate memorabilia wishlist with us?
