Fans of Star Wars bounty hunter Boba Fett are about to have their wishes granted.
The EE-3 carbine blaster that the fan-favorite character used in 1980’s The Empire Strikes Back is among the items heading to auction next month from Propstore. Believed to be the only original hero EE-3 carbine blaster that Boba Fett used in the Oscar-winning sequel, the prop that has been screen, photo, and serial number-matched. It has a presale value estimate ranging from $462,000 to $924,000.
Among the other high-profile items heading to the block as part of the Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction is Will Ferrell‘s costume that he wore as Buddy in the 2003 holiday classic Elf and estimated to hit up to $264,000. The signature outfit is screen-matched to the elevator scene in which Buddy pushes every button in the elevator before noting, “Looks like a Christmas tree!”
Additionally, Indiana Jones‘ fedora that Harrison Ford wore as the adventure-seeking archeologist in 1984 sequel Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is likely to sell for upwards of $400,000.
In keeping with the holiday spirit, the auction will feature an assortment of items from the personal archives of late actor Alan Rickman. This includes his heavily annotated personal shooting scripts from 1988’s Die Hard and 2003’s Love Actually.
The Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction takes place Dec. 5-7 and will include public in-room bidding at BAFTA’s facilities in London. More than 1,350 lots will be featured.
In September, Propstore auctioned off Darth Vader’s primary dueling lightsaber from The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi. The weapon sold for $3.6 million, becoming the highest-valued piece from the Star Wars franchise ever up for auction.
