Propstore to Auction Elf Costume in London

Will Ferrell’s Buddy the Elf costume from the 2003 film Elf is being sold at Propstore’s Winter Entertainment Memorabilia auction in London this December, with bidding reported to start at £50,000 and estimates up to £200,000. The auction listing notes tags reading "Mr. Ferrell" and a handwritten "Hero‑3" on the tunic and belt, and the outfit is screen‑matched to the lift scene where Buddy presses all the buttons. The sale is part of a catalogue of more than 1,350 items that also features Marty McFly’s lightweight foam hoverboard (estimated £60,000–£120,000), Alan Rickman’s heavily annotated Die Hard script (about £30,000–£60,000), and Boba Fett’s EE‑3 carbine blaster, the top lot (estimated £350,000–£700,000). Other notable lots include Harrison Ford’s Indiana Jones fedora, Tobey Maguire’s symbiote suit from Spider‑Man 3, a Ghostface mask from Scream and Jack Torrance’s stunt axe from The Shining. Auctioneers note that multiple versions of props often exist and that "hero" pieces — the highly detailed versions used for close‑ups — help explain the high valuations.
