Week seven of the Propworx Stargate auctions continues, and today we are taking a special look at arguably the greatest villain of Stargate SG-1: Apophis. He’s died and come back to life so many times through tricks of time travel and sarcophagi that we’ve frankly lost count.

His most recent return in Stargate Continuum saw him die almost as quick as he was returned to life again. It was the first time we saw Apophis and Baal in the same scene. Propworx is proud to be selling his Continuum costume, as well as his skull cap, in this week’s auctions!

This costume comes with black textured trousers with stirrups, a black and gold jacket with Velcro closing front, leather cuffs and ornamental detailing on the shoulders, a black leather textured collar and black leather textured belt. The skull cap is made of plastic and painted gold to simulate metal. This cap is of the type Baal sliced in half with his sword in the same scene.

Fair warning: Apophis’s Continuum costume is the only complete Apophis costume we will be offering through the Propworx eBay auctions! If you’re interested, follow this link to the costume, and this link to the helmet. Also, be sure to check out the other 108 auctions available now through Sunday night!

BSG Auction #1: Creating the Legend

The Final Episodes. The Final Five. The Propworx Battlestar Galactica Live Auction Event. The three day event January 16th, 17th and 18th 2009 in Pasadena, California and online at AuctionNetwork.com drew participants from all over the world bidding on props, costumes and set pieces from what critics and fans alike consider the greatest Science Fiction TV series ever made. Sponsored by NBC/Universal, this live auction marked the debut of Propworx, the entertainment industry’s premier auction house for production assets. Propworx has set the standard for event auctions, allowing fans and collectors to meet the creators and cast of their favorite series or movie and acquire iconic relics from these properties. The first live Battlestar Galactica auction was truly a milestone event, and capped what was a remarkable TV series with an auction that paid homage to the show and the people who created it.

Fans were eager to pick up a piece of the magic and drove prices to astronomical heights, often hundreds, if not thousands, above estimates. Online bidders, eager to beat fans that had made the trip to Pasadena, kept the bidding intense, and online live auction provider Auction Network managed to combine outstanding technology with top-notch auctioneers and production teams to ensure a smooth operation.

In conjunction with the live auction in Pasadena, 200 BSG items were up for sale on eBay, ending the Monday after the auction. This was followed by 34 weeks of eBay auctions over the next year!

Sin Qua Non

The title of one of Battlestar Galactica’s most famous episodes was “Sine Qua Non,” Latin for “without which not” or “without which it could not be” perfectly describes the Propworx-produced collectible auction catalog. A spectacular visual reference, the catalog featured sections with costumes from every major character, beautiful costume sketches and watercolors – works of art in their own right, production art and detailed plans, set decoration items, props and full-sized ser pieces. In addition to photos and detailed descriptions, the book includes behind the scenes interviews and insights from the series creators and crew.

With a bow to the Battlestar Galactica universe, the 319-page catalog featured cut corners, authentic typefaces, emblems, and a cover inspired by the Galactica’s log books used by Adama. The auction catalog is the perfect addition to any BSG collection.

The Fleet

Supplementing Propworx’s dedicated auction staff was The Colonial Fleet, the premier Batllestar Galactica fan club dedicated to all things BSG. Lovely red-dressed, blond-wigged Sixes mingled with officers in their Duty Blue Uniforms and flight deck crew members in fan-created costumes so authentic looking that fans in attendance wanted to know why they were wearing such valuable screen used costumes! The Fleet members assisted prospective buyers with questions about the auction items and added an authentic flair to the festivities. Many fans just wanted pictures next to their favorite fleet member (with a little spaceship in the background ).

Preview Day

Preview Day was a fantastic event where all the items to be auctioned were on display. Almost a thousand fans and collectors came on preview day to see the goods! Plus, Propworx and NBC/Universal flew down the department heads from BSG who each gave a one-hour chat on what it was like to work on the show and to give some behind-the-scenes tales of what it took to create the items that were being auctioned. Tricia Helfer, Michael Trucco, Michael Hogan and Richard Hatch all made appearences at Preview day, as did series creator Ronald Moore.

Day 1: Off With A Bang

The very first item, a set of production drawings and set plans valued at $500, sold for $1,200! That set the tone for the day, as drawings and concept art fetched hundreds, above estimates. Some of the original concept art that was used to sell Battlestar Galactica to SyFy channel went to some lucky winners. Much of the art were concept sketches in pencil by BSG concept artist Ken Rabehl, while many of the technical schematics of the sets were by Ivana Vassik.

Playing Dress Up

After the artwork and set drawings and a brief break, the first of the costumes went up on the block, and the first item was a doozie. Adama’s Duty Blues complete with rank pins and insignia, sold for and amazing $12,500. What a way to start off the costume group! A few items later, Starbuck’s Flight Suit blew the roof off with an outstanding $16,800 confirming the notion that someone would love to wear a sweaty, used leather suit, as long as Kara Thrace/Katee Sackhoff provided the sweat. Starbuck’s wardrobe raised almost $45,000, and not to be outdone, Apollo’s wardrobe was up next. Fan favorites, Lee Adama’s duty blue uniforms (both regular and “Fat Lee” size) drew the most interest, but Lee’s flight suit was also popular and reached $6,000. I guess more fans were interested in Katee’s than Jamie Bamber’s sweaty leather togs. $36,000 later, Colonel Tigh and Gaius Baltar’s clothing held the bidder’s attention, but it was Helo’s Dress Grays that wowed the crowd, hitting the $6,000 mark and confirming the old adage that we all love a man in uniform. Dee, Tyrol and Gaeta were up next, and they did not fail to impress. Uniforms, flight deck jumpsuits, BDUs and civilian wear all sold well. More big numbers came from Athena/Boomer, where only 8 lots totted up over $26,000. Another fan favorite, Crewman Specialist Cally Henderson, had a combination of military and civilian lots and provided the first petite crew jumpsuit for sale. Pilots Racetrack, Hotdog and Seelix along with Lieutenant Hoshi’s costumes also sold well. Hard living, smoke ‘em if you got ‘em Doc Cottle’s medical outfits followed along with many other characters dress uniforms, BDUs, jumpsuits, and flightsuits.

All Hail to the Chief

She may have only had a small bag on her original flight to Galactica aboard a Colonial Heavy Transport from Caprica in the original miniseries, but Laura Roslin always looked the part of President and classy lady. Her outfits up for auction included multiple pantsuits and skirts perfect for the politician on the go.

A Nod to the Past

The only actor to have roles in both the original and re-imagined BSG, as Apollo and Tom Zarek, Richard Hatch’s costumes drew a lot of interest from the bidders, with prisoner jumpsuits, politician-appropriate herringbone and his iconic black leather jacket up for sale.

A round of other civilian wear followed, including cougar Cylon Mom Ellen Tigh, kleptomaniac lawyer Romo Lampkin, high-priestess Elosha, in preparation for another round of military garb featuring razor-sharp Admiral Cain, haunted XO Kendra Shaw and Cain’s successor Commander Jack Fisk.

Devil with the Red Dress On

Things seemed rather calm and tranquil until Lot #260 appeared. The Red Dress. Slinky. Sexy. Over the top. Most of the ladies (and the men) wondered if they could buy the dress and the body to go with it. Men loved her and women wanted to be her (or, in some cases, the reverse). Tricia Helfer designated four favorite charities for the proceeds to go to and the bidders did not disappoint. $15,600 later, a lucky bidder took home one of the most desired red dresses in history. More Cylon Six dresses, cut out leather sets, opera-appropriate white, and even sackdress prisoner garb went for thousands, reinforcing the fact that fans love Six.

Cylons costumes continued to interest with Final Five and Presidential confidante Tory, Prophetic Two Leoben, Fanatic Five Doral, Boxed but Not Out Three D’anna, and Medic Four Simon along with Final Five white robes rounding out the group.

Ships Passing in the Night

As the costumes finished up, you could clearly hear the crowd’s excitement build for the largest items up for auction – the Raptor, Viper Mark VII and Cylon Raider. Many in the crowd dreamed of owning one of these fantastic ships, and a few even jotted down plans for the perfect storage building to protect their investment. When the bidding started, all the audience looked to each bidder, wondering who had the money (and the room) for an actual spaceship! Unfortunately, none of the ships reached their reserve, and now some of the ships are destined for a Battlestar Galactica exhibit to be held at the SciFi museum in Seattle this Fall!

Day Two: Props, Props, and More Props

Day two started the props section of the auction, and fan favorite Doc Cottle got in the game with his cigarette case and lighter. A few items later, the most important key on the Galactica, the FTL Key, sold for $3,600. Adama’s lighter, a symbolic prop for both father and son, also fetched a pretty penny, netting over $6,000. Personal photos, books, Galactica crew documents, equipment, and a Cylon Transponder were next leading up to the intricate and elaborate Elosha’s Scroll, one example of the Sacred Scrolls so often referred to in the series.

The Iconic Arrow

There were some iconic props in this auction, and Lots 482 and 483, the Arrow of Apollo Hero and Stunt version, were two of the finest. The Arrow starred in Season One’s two-part season finale,” Kobol’s Last Gleaming” and part of Season Two, the Arrow of Apollo was the focal point of the story arc where Starbuck steals the captured Cylon Raider and goes back to Caprica to find the Arrow, which President Roslin believes will guide the fleet to Earth. These two key pops brought top dollar, totaling over $13,000.

Notebooks, log books, crew paperwork, reference books,and radiation badges followed with essentials like Baltar’s nuclear bomb in custom carry case, the Blackbird signed hullplate, and Galactica “Top Gun” Beer Stein exciting the bidders. Tactical models of Galactica, Vipers, Cylon Baseships, Cylon Fighters and other ships were used in the “War Room” in various episodes, and interested hopeful buyers looking to plan their next mission. Helmets, guns, patches and military insignia featured prominently in the next grouping of items, and hard core fans drove the bidding up in order to acquire authentic items to complete their costumes.

No collection would be complete without a translight or two. Maps, plans and navigation routes were all planned on Galactica’s light tables, and these translights document the journey of Galactica and the humans to Earth. Popular translights for bidders included a large map of Kobol, the Cylon Baseship plans, and Galactica Schematic.

Equipment Anyone?

Phones of every shape and size, squadron shields, wall lights, Colonial One recliners and Pilot Ready Room Chairs were snapped up by bidders eager to redecorate their “Battlestar” dens. Bidders buzzed for Colony Flags, displayed at every BSG official function from swearing-ins to funeral masses. Furniture and set pieces from Laura Roslin’s office and Adama’s quarters were also popular with bidders as these items were constantly seen on screen and associated with the characters. The iconic oil painting “The Cylon War” which resided front and center in Adama’s quarters, demanded a staggering $21,000, shocking both bidders and auctioneers alike. The excitement continued to build for the larger set items, from Dee’s FTL console, Dradis displays, Officer’s Bunk Beds, large Galactica doors, the Cylon Resurrection Tub and the Cylon Centurion.

“The auction was certainly one of the most impressive Hollywood memorabilia auctions of all time,” said Propworx CEO Alec Peters after the event. “Certainly, no other auction has been put together with so much love and attention, and that is because my staff and I are all huge Battlestar fans, and NBC/Universal really wanted an event that would honor the show, not just sell the assets. I think we accomplished that.”

Of course what Alec didn’t realize he was doing, when he created such a spectacular event, was setting the bar even higher for the second live auction!

It is one of the great moments of Stargate Atlantis: Rodney McKay compares the situation in which he is immersed with looking into a microscope at a cell culture and seeing a thousand dancing hamsters. Out of anger and frustration, he pushes his Zero Point Module off the desk and onto the floor, where it shatters. This ZPM was made for this scene.

This break-away Zero Point Module was designed to be dropped and destroyed. To the naked eye it is indistinguishable to other ZPMs. This extremely delicate item comes as one primary piece with an assortment of smaller shards that once belonged to the main body. Like all ZPMs, it has been given a special paint finish to resemble crystal.

This is the only time Propworx will be offering a Zero Point Module in the eBay auctions. The others will be featured in our live auctions to be held later this year!

The most powerful energy source known to exist, Zero Point Modules were used by the Ancients during the “golden age” of the race 10,000 years ago. Three of the devices, utilizing vacuum energy, were powerful enough to carry an Ancient city-ship from one galaxy to another in a matter of days.

Check out the Zero Point Module on eBay now, and while you’re there be sure to view our other eBay auctions available this week only!

The sixth week of Propworx’s Stargate auctions soldiers on, featuring more than 100 fantastic items from the Stargate universe! But as far as Richard Woolsey’s Atlantis uniforms go, this is the final one for eBay. We are saving the rest for our live auctions. Translation: If you have had your heart set on obtaining one of Robert Picardo’s uniforms from Atlantis and don’t plan on bidding in the live auction, GRAB THIS ONE!

Woolsey joined Atlantis as a full-time cast member at the beginning of Season Five, when Colonel Carter was recalled to Earth. He spent that year learning that the obstacles encountered in the job were not as black and white in their resolution as he had been allowing himself to think. Woolsey, after all, was a key player in the internal investigations of General Hammond, Elizabeth Weir and Colonel Carter.

In the Atlantis Season Five episode “Remnants,” International Oversight Advisory Representative Shen Xiaoyi traveled to Atlantis to give her assessment of Woolsey. Richard realized how Hammond, Weir and Carter must have felt.

This production-made costume consists of gray trousers with one thigh cargo pocket on each leg, and a production mark of “WOOLSEY” inside the waistband. The Atlantis-style jacket has burgundy detailing on the cuffs and shoulders corresponding to the era for which the costume was made. Of course, the costume also includes the appropriate Atlantis and United States flag patches. No size information is available for this costume.

Again, if you had planned on getting one of Woolsey’s costumes for your own collection and were planning to do so through eBay, you must act on this one before the auction closes Sunday night! Visit the auction through this link. And while you’re on eBay, be sure to check out over 100 of Propworx’s offerings going on now through Sunday night! New auctions will be commencing the same evening.

Leave it to Obadiah Stane to make creepy evil looking bald guys even creepier. And just how does he do it do you ask? With the help of a little illegal device Stark Industries developed called the “Sonic Taser”. Using high frequency sonics, the device paralyses those whose hearing is unprotected for approximately 15 minutes.  To prevent falling prey to the high frequency sonics produced by the taser, the wearer must wear specially designed ear protection which cancels the noise created by the tasers. They actually create their own sound waves that mimic the incoming noise in every respect except one: the earplug’s sound waves are 180 degrees out of phase with the incoming waves. Which cancel the specific frequency that causes paralysis. Technology like this… it’s no wonder the government didn’t allow it to be mass produced.

The hero sonic taser with sound dampening earplugs are the ones that Obadiah Stane uses to paralyze Raza and later Tony Stark on his quest to build the Iron Monger armor. Based on Stark Industries technology the government did not approve of that causes temporary paralysis in the victim. Production noted this as the hero sonic taser and earplugs used by Jeff Bridges.

Production-made Sonic Taser made of resin. The taser casing is custom made with working red LED indicator light when the device is opened. Includes on/off micro switch. Painted silver and dark metallic gray. Includes pair of production-modified blue hearing aids with blue LEDs and micro on/off switch. Taser measures 3.5″ x 1.25″ x 1″.

Jon Favreau and the folks at Marvel took great measures to perfect the look of the Iron Man. In all of its variations throughout the movie, the Mark I, II and III each have their distinct differences, but still retain a similar look that ties them together. Below are two version of the Mark I faceplate: The fiberglass faceplate from the desert scene and the steel faceplate Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is forging in the cave.

Hero Mark I Mask from Desert

After Tony Stark’s escape the members of the Ten Rings search the desert for any signs of him. One of Raza’s men pulls this Mark I mask piece from the sand and yells to get his attention. Production marked this as the hero Mark I helmet from the desert.

Production made fiber-glass Mark I face mask (back piece included but was not used in scene) painted in varying metallic hues to simulate steel that has been heated and welded.

Hero Forged Mark I Mask

Sheet steel Mark I mask Tony hammers on the mouth section on an anvil after Raza tells him he has to complete his Jericho missile by tomorrow. Working through the night hammering away, Tony and Yinsen are able to complete the Mark I suit. Production noted these as the hero faceplate used by Robert Downey Jr.

Production-made sheet steel helmet face plate featuring a well hammered mouth section. Features hammer and anvil marks as well as heat scorching from use in the scene. Mask is made of two pieces of metal seam welded under the eye ports. Measures 8.5″ x 11.75″ x 4.75″.

This variant of the iconic Jaffa staff weapon was introduced in the Stargate SG-1 Season Nine episode “Babylon,” where Colonel Cameron Mitchell is taken as a prisoner by the mysterious and secretive Jaffa culture known as the Sodan. Propworx is selling this beautiful prop this week!

Unlike the staff weapon introduced in the Stargate feature film and “Children of the Gods,” this variation ends abruptly just behind the handle. This allowed the Sodan warrior who wielded it to get much closer to his opponent in combat. Mitchell discovered this firsthand in “Babylon.” Although he gave it his all, his wounds from this staff ultimately incapacitated him. The shorter length also allowed the Jaffa to carry the staff weapon directly on his back.

This production-made staff is constructed of resin and hard rubber, which has been painted bronze with silver and turquoise highlights to simulate medal. The head of the staff is made of hard rubber, so as not to injure a stunt person if it makes contact, while the rest of the staff is made of resin.

Check out our listing for this item now on eBay, and while you’re there, take a look at more than 100 other Stargate auctions that will be available now through Sunday night.

Many directors chair backs will come and go, but only a few, such as this one, will ever carry the name of Richard Dean Anderson.

Anderson portrayed the witty and heroic Colonel Jack O’Neill of SG-1 for eight seasons, then moved back home to California to spend more time with family. Stargate continued on, however, and Rick made return appearances in both seasons Nine and Ten (including the landmark 200th episode) as well as three episodes of Stargate Atlantis. Now he is making occasional appearances on Stargate Universe as General Jack O’Neill, the leader of Homeworld Command.

Jack O’Neill may no longer be a part of each and every week’s jolly jaunt through the event horizon to unknown worlds, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t have a piece of him in your home all the time! This director’s style chair back was used by Richard Dean Anderson, and features his name on one side and the Stargate SG-1 logo and symbol on the reverse. It is a fantastic keepsake that Propworx is offering fans of the actor and character this week!

View the item on eBay through this link, and remember to check out dozens of items available this week only! New items will become available Sunday night, just as these auctions close.
