"The C-3PO head was the top lot at the auction, which also saw the harpoon gun used by the actor Robert Shaw in Jaws, accompanied by its original case, fetch $327,600."
"Brandon Alinger, Propstore's chief operating officer, said: We've seen a strong start to the auction, with competitive bidding right from the outset."
"At Propstore, Star Wars material continues to resonate with collectors and the C-3PO head from The Empire Strikes Back was a real highlight of the day."
A C-3PO head from Star Wars: Episode V sold for $1,058,400 at a Propstore auction in Los Angeles. This unique prop was the only known example available to collectors. The auction featured other notable items, including a harpoon gun from Jaws that sold for $327,600 and a Wilson volleyball from Cast Away that fetched $189,000. The auction's first day raised $6.5 million, showcasing the strong interest in film memorabilia, particularly Star Wars items. The final day will focus on animation collectibles.
