BAT'S A LOT

The world’s most famous movie memorabilia is going on sale next month… but film fans will need a blockbuster budget

Props and costumes from some of the greatest films ever made are going on sale at the BFI Imax cinema in central London next month

LIGHTS, camera. . . auction! Movie fans have the chance to buy props and costumes from some of the greatest films ever made – if they have a blockbuster budget.

Collectables company Prop Store will be putting iconic items under the hammer at the BFI IMax cinema in central London next month - and includes an 18in model spaceship from Return Of The Jedi which is set to fetch at least £200,000.

Here, we reveal the guide prices for some slightly less expensive lots and the films they feature in ahead of the sale.

C-3PO's head: £60,000 - 80,000

COULD this be a phantom purchase?

Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels never wore the plastic prop as it shrank. It was used only for special effects.

Superman outfit: £8,000

IS it a bird? Is it a plane? No – it’s, er, a blue tunic.

 You'll need a good body and £8,000 for this Superman outfit
