Sit down for this one, fellas. Because if youโre anything like me, you might actually blackout. An entire array of Hollywood memorabilia is set to be auctioned โ and among them is none other than Maverickโs helmet from Top Gun.
Worn by Tom Cruise himself โ who portrayed fighter pilot Pete โMaverickโ Mitchell in the original 1986 film โ just imagine what you could do with this god-tier piece of kit; what it could soon be within your everyday life. The hottest sesh helmet around, the ultimate mantlepiece flex, historyโs greatest popcorn bowl โ there are no limits.
How much will this cost? Estimates have placed it at a value between US$50,000 and US$70,000. But keep in mind this is an auction โ meaning a hearty round of bidding may drive the price up. Best fire up that group chat to rally the troops for a collective investment.
Other hot-ticket items available include:
- Rocky Balboaโs Boxing Gloves: US$12,000 โ US$16,000
- 1977/1978 Darth Vader Promotional Costume with Helmet: US$150,000 โ US$250,000
- Obi-Wan Kenobiโs Dueling Lightsaber Hilt: US$25,000 โ US$35,000
