By Kofi Outlaw

If you're a fan of comic book and sci-fi memorabilia then a rare opportunity is about to present itself: a chance to own Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia dress from Star Wars: A New Hope, or the Batpod vehicle that Christopher Nolan debuted in The Dark Knight! Other items in Propstore's Memorabilia Live Auction that may catch the eye of geek culture collectors include: Peter Quill/Star-Lord's Helmet from Guardians of the Galaxy (1&2); Jane Foster's (Natalie Portman) cracked hammer from Thor: Love & Thunder; the Evil Clown Doll from Poltergeist; and costumes from films like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Gladiator, and The Big Lebowski. 

"This year, Propstore's Los Angeles Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction contains many never seen before treasures from film and television content including Princess Leia's Ceremonial Dress from the end of Star Wars which was once thought to be lost and the screen-matched "Evil" Clown who dragged Robbie under the bed in Poltergeist," Brandon Alinger, Propstore COO said in a statement. "Whether you're an advanced collector or you just learned it's possible to own items like these, we'll have over 1,400 original lots of prop costumes and more to choose from, representing over 500 of your favorite titles."
