everybody norm from tested here we got a special treat for you I am down here at
the prop store warehouse you guys know Matt Matt we're in your home now yes
welcome guys thanks for making the trip oh it's so great to be here because you
have a massive collection of costumes and props from the Marvel Netflix TV
show yes yeah that's the Marvel television live auction it's open for
bidding now but it's got pieces from Marvel's daredevil Marvel's Luke Cage
and Marvel's iron fist oh well we know the production on those shows have
wrapped they're done making those shows that this is really our chance to get
sense of what it feels like to have to be on set with these costumes I see them
in person streets of Hell's Kitchen yeah such a big fan of the production design
the costume they made especially for the Marvel's daredevil show yeah let's talk
about that yeah totally I think we all fell in love with that show when it
first premiered so we've got a lot of examples of his gear around us but we
kind of start over here with the first iteration of the costume this is
actually a version of it from season 3 he goes back to just wearing the red
garb but you know this is before he had his suit from Melvin Potter this is
before he had you know became the daredevil and was just kind of the devil
of Hell's Kitchen if you will I mean it was the thing that sold me as a fan of
the comics and a character because it really calls back to the designs I was
familiar with with the genre me to jr. and John Romita art and so you have that
black mass that covers it loved all that texture I can see it's bandages wrapped
around beautiful and then of course in my tight gloves yeah I think premiered
in season or episode 2 but he went back to you know you knew when it was gonna
be a big fight when he was wrapping up his fist to get going there and the
martial arts on that show was so good yeah and then the costuming of course
leveled up a little bit as we got the end of the first season yes yes he got
to the daredevil costume we know and love yes he meets Melvin Potter who
makes him the daredevil suit so these versions of the suit are from what we're
calling iteration one this is actually an FX
version and then this is what we're calling the repaired version so this was
effects for when Frank Castle eventually the Punisher went up shooting him in the
head and obviously this was the quick stitch job that was done while the other
suit was being designed for him and these are stunt cows these are yeah
these are mostly foam rubber and this is actually a two-piece this cowl and this
front mask bit being separate from the actually helmet itself there but then of
course this design gets tweaked a little bit to the guy that's right behind you
here and this becomes the later season to through defenders and into season
three version of the suit though in season three of daredevil it's worn
mostly by by Dex you know and this is the hero costume
this is the hero yeah this is a mask from season two oh my god yes
absolutely I mean like just the lenses in there alone really kind of sell it
the same way just that mask tells the first one can we take off the cowl and
was put on yeah so it's a little simpler this time whereas that that mask piece
in the first iteration was separate you know this is its own mask its own full
cowl with a little bit of a balaclava here wonderful this is it's lightweight
but it has its really small there's density - yeah I get the fiberglass
backing on the inside you're not worried about it
even the trim I mean it's something I read so well you have different textures
on the trim it's not just black you have these black stripes and also a little
bit of that that tactile yeah kind of mimicking the the faux Kevlar look going
on here - you know with the again the idea being that he could take a shot
with this and keep going you know right one of my favorite things on him - you
know he doesn't have a utility belt or anything like that but he does have the
holsters for his billy clubs over here which i think is just an awesome little
piece of gear we've got stunt persons out on the table over there - yeah I was
gonna say in addition to costumes there are hand props there are set decoration
there's so much let's talk about the billy clubs yes yeah so a couple of
different versions here this is the one version that we have at the rope which
is in the same type of holster that he's got in his leg over there this is
obviously a stunt version that was awesome probably huge on set you know
just judging by the painting and the cracking it feels like this went through
some abuse during production you know and then this is a hero version this is
it you know twist it together so this is a solid piece of aluminum but it's just
a flawless and beautiful you know it's some really really good weight to it
yeah it's a machine it feels good doesn't it Wow
that's been test yeah really exciting initiative that you got of course
classic yeah with this guy just ran back to comic-con a lot of this stuff two
guys were shooting but this was a big hit for us at Comic Con everybody loves
that sign and just kind of that I think the foggy and Matt Murdock relationship
in general you know is a big draw to that show I mean it's the world building
even though it is Hell's Kitchen it's to your rights these iconic places
from the comics like their law offices like boggles gym exactly yeah we got the
fog Welles gym bag over here where Matt's dad used to fight and now he
trains as well and also just talking about we're old building we were talking
about the first iteration suit over here next to it is kind of the ultimate
kingpin this is Wilson Fisk's from season three when he's being held by the
FBI though is he you know yeah I mean the Wilson Fisk portrayal is just so
spot-on great performance unreal and seeing an
all-american you get that sense of how imposing of a character big of a threat
even and like even down to you know it we've got the painting behind him the
rabbit in the snowstorm that he buys from Vanessa is eventual wife and even
down to his cufflinks here that he got from his father which anybody that watch
the show who knows how significant that is so when the show wrapped you guys
work with production I identified you know we've been working there talking
with Marvel to hopefully get something like this going for a long time when we
talked about this the the appeal was we got to go in and pull what we thought
would be best for fans you know so we were looking for all the different
versions from the hero to the stunts of the key stuff and then anything that
tied to the comics anything that really you know sold the world of the show like
your Siam well it wasn't just one show it was a
series of shows a culminated in Marvel's defenders and so the first day of the
auction it sounds like it's all daredevil stuff yes the first day of the
auction is all Marvel's daredevil and then the second day is split between
Marvel's Luke Cage and Marvel's iron fist and I see there are some pieces
from those shows he's gonna take a look
so what were we have here Matt so this is Marvel's Luke Cage you know this is
some highlights from that we starting back there with the seek a penitentiary
prison sign where of course he wound up he was incarcerated and wound up getting
his powers through there and then into some more of the Harlem that that he
represents you know we've got pops barbershop chair we've got a few of
these in the auction but they're all you know very representative of what part
barbershop was to the show which was a safe place in the community
you know same with the swear jar yes and of course bullet-riddled kind of says
all that it needs to say there but but such an iconic piece and then even you
know we've got other pieces from that area which this was some merchandise for
Luke after he became kind of the hero of Harlem you know like he became known the
known hero around town so they've got this obviously the colors here tying
back to his original comic book costume and then even over here we've got DVDs
of him fighting Diamondback Diamondback yeah on the streets and Diamondback
costume right behind you there and even more so another Easter Egg to the films
the incident being yes the invasion from The Avengers you know we also see the
weapons and props here that yes hammer industry yeah how about that but yeah
these are the Judas bullets that that hammer tech made which are the only
bullets that could kill or injure Luke Cage Wow
good weight to that yeah really cool really cool so Diamondback here will
striker is we have a lot of cool costumes in the in the auction this is
like my favorite villain costume you know it feels like it's straight out of
the comics very much referencing Diamondback with the ridging here for
the snake they added the helmet in for this this iteration but I think the
details are in it are great these little metal pieces here or faux metal I should
say we've even got some of the dirt on it still from his fight with Luke Cage
you know well you see that detail your gloves yeah you have a combination of
what was sown for this costume but the hard part's embedded exactly completely
custom fabricated for the show yeah to sell the idea that he could take a punch
from Luke Cage and keep walking you know he's even got a to light up power pack
on the back you know well even like Luke cages costume itself that's also custom
totally something off the shelf yep no this is hoodies that we have were
custom-made for the show even to the point where they added this lining in
here which is again a callback to his iconic you know yellow costume in the
comics but I mean I love these pieces especially these bullet-riddled ones
just kind of sell the whole aesthetic of what what he was as a character you know
now moving on from this - yes Danny Rand yeah iron fist over here so this is this
is close as close to the iconic you know Iron Fist costume as we get but this is
his ceremonial costume while he was fighting with Davos in Conlan to
actually become the Iron Fist so of course he won this but we've got several
different versions of this in the auction we've got a few that are just
the masks themselves we've got some bloodied ones from him in Davos but I
mean the the mask it's it's very simple but it it sells it you know it's really
cool to me I mean you say it's simple but I see a lot of complicated this
inside of here you see the part it is I mean it's firm like you think in the
comics as an artist you can just draw a cowl right draw a mask and it's gonna
fit perfectly but to fit over an actor like it is really beautifully he's sewn
mess and keep some of that comic aesthetic with just the very graphic eye
detail here yeah so whatever he's doing it looks like he's scowling at ya also
we've got if we're talking about the iron fist we're talking about Colleen
wing to which this is I think the first time we see her in the cage match I love
this costume because of the reference on the back we've got these dragons on the
back her of course being the daughter the dragon kind of similar to what she
wears in the comics as well but this was a again her first fight costume there
there's a lot of dragon iconography on the show for show apps yeah we've got
the the scroll over here the prophecy scroll with the dragon we've even got
some pieces down here this is actually this is decayed Iron Fist skin Oh what
Davos pulled off a dead Iron Fist and winds up using in conjunction with this
bowl over here to steal the Iron Fist power from Danny yeah you guys have a
bunch of cows a bunch of he says even this one you can tell a little warehouse
got some bloody on it got some plenty on the bend down there
too you know these like weapons yeah tons of weapons and well the ultimate
weapon exactly the iron fist itself this is kind of a cool piece but this is you
know this is an effects piece this is what the actor would have been wearing
on his fist when they were filming him as the iron fist and if you will a
couple different color combinations that they could pull in there real practical
lighting very practical lighting effect and then obviously they would CG over
that and just putting the glowing fists there but some other cool pieces we've
got Danny's letter to Colleen we've got Madame Gao who of course is a villain
throughout the series all the series's excuse me is ready for combat as well
Wow very cool piece this is actually a retractable version of her spear cane
there and some stunts or yeah and then this is these are Colleen's of course
such cool detail here even with the different clay effects that they do here
which is how they would have made the katana and even to the hilt being kind
of a bird of prey design referencing her family obviously so as all of this stuff
is being accumulated and inventoried and cleaned up here you're just immerse
fully in the universe of these shows exactly thankfully you know it comes
easy you just a lot of prop store employees we've all either seen all of
them or you know had to catch up on the season or two but it's been so cool to
just dive into these shows and really kind of live in these worlds a bit and
figure out the best way to to put them out to the fans how many total pieces
are there the auction of 893 pieces over two days so I believe a hundred and
fifty or 450 some are daredevil and then like I said the second day is split
between Marvel's Luke Cage and Marvel's iron fist and that's why you also have a
two-volume a catalog yes I'm very cool all the pieces are inventoried some
great photos amazing ways our design team just knocked it out of
the park with this catalog good I personally think but yeah it looks
beautiful and I think is it must-have for a lot of Marvel fans that are into
these shows as well I know the auctions are happening August 12 and 13 live
auctions here at be here or in Valencia yet my fancy California August 12th and
13th will have you know live bidding here we'll have foam bidding absentee
