The Swag at Comic-Con
If you’ve ever been to the exhibit hall of the convention center in San Diego, you know that it’s all about the swag. The most exciting part of Comic-Con is finding the most unique and rare items to add to your collection. In this article, we are on a mission to find the most expensive things you can buy at Comic-Con.
Toy Transformers and Movie Prop Replicas
We start our search by asking vendors what their most expensive item is. One vendor tells us that the Titan Class Metroplex Transformer is the most expensive item in their shop, retailing at $162. Another vendor tells us that the Deluxe Choco King Mazinger Z is their most expensive item at $37. However, we suspect that there are more expensive items to be found at Comic-Con.
We come across a vendor selling production quality uniforms, including the Next Generation outfit from Star Trek. This outfit is replicated exactly how they did it in the show and goes for approximately $2,300. But we want to find the real deal, so we continue our search.
The Real Deal – Movie Posters and Harrison Ford’s Whip
We come across Mondo, an Austin, Texas company that hires top contemporary artists to create brand new movie posters for old classic films. They even got Drew Struzan to do Frankenstein and sold it for $18,000. But the most expensive item we find is Harrison Ford’s whip from the Indiana Jones movie. It feels just like Harrison Ford’s whip, but it comes with a hefty price tag of $75,000.
Sigourney Weaver’s Flamethrower from Alien
But the most expensive item we find is Sigourney Weaver’s flamethrower from Alien. This movie prop replica is priced at $95,000, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a one-of-a-kind item that any Alien fan would love to own.
The Most Expensive Comic Books
Finally, we delve into the world of comic books and discover the staggering prices of the first appearances of Superman and Batman. Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman from June 1938, is priced at $600,000 in 5.0 condition. But Batman never likes to be outdone by Superman. Detective Comics #27, the first appearance of Batman, is worth $660,000 in higher grade condition. Together, these two comic books are worth over a million dollars.
Conclusion
San Diego Comic-Con is not just about cosplay and meeting your favorite celebrities. It’s also a place to find the most unique and rare items to add to your collection. From toy transformers to movie prop replicas and comic books, there’s something for everyone at Comic-Con. But be prepared to pay a hefty price for the most expensive items.
