Who has movie memorabilia in their HC rooms? 56k Modem users beware

Thought it would be fun to see what movie memorabilia people had in their home cinema rooms. I used to have quite a few of the McFarlane figures as well as a couple of movie posters but over the years my Wife has slowly moved them to places I can't find and I ended up with just a couple

Before we had some work done on the living room I had the Alien queen set plus a couple of alien warriors on display but during the work the queen was broken quite badly so I think she wont see the light of day again. I now just have the Mcfarlane 7" Alien next to my PC monitor and an 18" Mezco Hellboy stood on my sub.

After my Wife saw the Hellboy she actually started to come round to the idea of having larger and better quality movie items in the room. I have seen a really nice Predator helmet that I would love for the wall too.

Does anyone else have any good stuff, and do the forums members with partners struggle to get the stuff through the door ?

I would love to do something similar in our new room, but I don't think my wife would be too happy about it, so at the moment all I have is The Lord Of The Rings statues (the bookends, Gollum and Minus Tirinth) a boomerang and a minature statue of Liberty.

Where did you see the Predator mask? As that would be very cool

Well I thought my Wife would kill me when she say the Hellboy figure sat on the sub when she came home from work...but even she had to admit that it looked pretty cool.

It was in a local specialist toy and collectibles store (in Dewsbury, West Yorks)...the same place I got the Mezco Hellboy. It was £50 and is just a replica of the front 'metal' mask. It looked really good and would love to have it hanging on the wall.

There are a few on Ebay that come unpainted and with leds' that you have to insert into the side of the helmet. here is the link to one on there at the moment Predator Helmet

I want a couple of nice framed film cells for the hallway. That is something else my Wife dosn't mind too much but she has drawn the line at framed movie posters...she says she hated them when we had them before so there is no way they are going back

Will take a couple of pics later to give an idea of just how big this figure is but this is a pic from another site.



There is a 18" Terminator endoskeleton coming out in May from NECA that I think may also be finding it's way into the living room

Not quite. There were three different versions released. the 'clenched teeth' version (the one in the pic above) and closed mouth veriosn (the one I have) and a 'battle damaged' version (with torn clothes, blood and the full size horns).

I have a Patrick Stewart life cast of his head and a light sabre (looks cool powered up in the dark). Apart from that just a few framed movie posters.

I'd like the Black & White Batman statue to go on one of my speakers and probably a Wolverine one to go on the other (comic stuff rather than movies but not so far different). I'm going to have a lot of trouble getting approval for those though.

Have two framed film cells (kill bill and back to the future) and about ten mcfarlane figures.

www.frontiermodels.co.uk do some nice things such as terminator models and predator helmets, and will pre make most things for a bit extra

Heard theres a life size endo skeleton out later this year for about £3000

I have a couple of Samurai warriors atop my DVD collection. Quite into the whole Samuria ethos and I fell in love with these figures when I saw them.
