Always dedicated to bringing you the best and most obscure collectibles from over thirty years worth of memorabilia, Gordon’s Alive is pleased to present a perfect example of the latter –
While you could be forgiven for thinking the colourful montage above is a bootleg poster of some kind, you might be surprised to learn you’re actually looking at the bedcover from the official Flash Gordon single duvet set. Featuring unique and amazing art (likeness to Melody Anderson notwithstanding) this perfectly preserved cotton bedspread was a Camden Market find and was fairly expensive – indeed, Gordon’s Alive has not seen one before or since in decades of collecting which, one suspects. would qualify it as a rarity – especially in this outstanding condition.
Should anybody out there own the matching pillowcase I would of course like to hear from you but in the meantime, enjoy the pics and sleep tight…
Already establishing a reputation for offering superb quality replicas sourced from no less than the original props themselves, Chronicle Collectables is becoming a serious contender in the high-end collectors market.
Thankfully one of their many current licences is noneother than Flash Gordon, where Chronicle have already produced prototypes of forthcoming projects – the first being the majestic War Rocket Ajax replica (top) referenced from one of the few surviving miniatures and looks to be perfect in every detail (right down to the Flash pilot figure!). While no more details on the scale/price/release date are forthcoming, it is nonetheless fantastic to see the property is still regarded as a fan favourite.
And only revealed in the last few days at Wonderfest 2015 is this incredible General Klytus mask and cowl (bottom pic) , which we are assured through Chronicle’s facebook page is a 1:1 accurate wearable prop. With more spectacular items upcoming, its a great time to be a Flash fan…
