The Prop Collection: The Unicorn File

Some month ago I extended my Blade Runner prop collection with a wonderful fan-made set of items called The Unicorn File and even thou most of the set isn’t even seen in the movie I consider it to be a true gem in my collection (There is one origami unicorn included and it looks very much like the one in the movie).
The set consists of items that very well could have been in the movie as Deckard’s Voight-Kampff operator license card or a receipt from the White Dragon where Deckard gets a meal. Some items in the set comes weathered as they have been used as receipts and tickets might be and some are pristine
Items like this one is very nice to find and one should remember that items like this are made by fans for other fans to enjoy and cherish. You can find information on how you might get one of these sets for yourself (as of now, there are only six sets left). The price is €25 and includes shipping worldwide.
You can find all the information and pictures of the set at the Unicorn File thread @ Propsummit.com
I decided to make two videos showing of the items in this amazing set and post here so that everyone could get a good look at how truly amazing fan made props or memorabilia items can be. As a fan of Blade Runner, items like this are truly wonderful to own and collect.

More on Blade Runner: 30th Anniversary Edition

So, more news about the 30’th Anniversary Edition of Blade Runner which will be released as a Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Digital Copy combo pack on October 23’rd 2012. Much of what’s included comes from massive “The Final Cut” Ultimate Collectors Edition package that was release five years ago but there are some new items included for us die-hard fan’s.
 

 
New contents and collectibles:

  • A new concept spinner
  • A action lenticular will also be included (and from what I’ve heard this will not be the same as in the previous Ultimate Collectors Edition)
  • a 72 page digibook with never before seen photos from the sets, sketches made by Ridley Scott and poster art.
  • A disc with more than 1ooo photos and more.

 
The “Dangerous Days” documentury will be included both on DVD & Blu-Ray (So, now it’s finally released in High-Def). The 1982 theatrical & European releases will as before be included, together with the 1992 Directors Cut (branched together on one disc, as before). The workprint will also be included in this 30’th anniversary edition and the same thing goes for all of the other extras that could be found in the Ultimate Collectors Edition.
 
So, to sum it up. The new items will be the 72 page book, the new concept spinner, “Dangerous Days” documentary on Blu-Ray and the old extras from The Final Cut put together on one disc.
 
So, what are you waiting for.. You can pre-order this at Amazon.com right away

Want some Blade Runner Origami ??

I found in one of the threads while I was browsing around over at the Blade Runner Props forum and after ordering and receiving a set of Blade Runner origami (which I think was all very well made) I’d came to think that there must be others out there whom would like to know of this and maybe get their own origami set.

I ordered a set from Blade Runner Origami by Gaff and the set consists of the origami chicken, origami unicorn and also the little happy man that Gaff makes out of what I think is a match. The cost for all these items where $20.

I should point out that I am not involved in making or selling these items so I can not answer any questions you might have about them but I can say that I think they are very well made and Im very happy to have added them to my Blade Runner collection
So, for more information on these lovely origami items visit Blade Runner Origami by Gaff
