Icons Authentic Replicas Batman & Robin Batarang Prop Replica

This is a limited edition, officially licensed prop replica of Batman's Batarang from the 1997 film 'Batman & Robin'. The item features a high-polished chrome-finished batwing-shaped throwing weapon with intricate cutouts and a central vertical spine, mounted against a textured metallic-green fabric backing that mimics theatrical lighting. The replica is enclosed in its original clear acrylic display case (vitrine) with a black base. A gold-toned title plaque is affixed to the front, featuring the 'Batman & Robin' film logo and the title 'Batman's Batarang'. Accompanying the item are two crucial provenance documents: an 'Icons Guarantee of Quality' and a 'Certificate of Authenticity' from Icons Authentic Replicas, which was a premiere high-end prop replica company in the late 1990s. The CoA features an intricate blue border and official embossing, proving its status as a licensed collectible produced from the original movie molds. The craftsmanship is of a professional grade, intended for adult collectors rather than as a toy. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible surface oxidation to the chrome or cracking in the acrylic case, though minor scuffing to the exterior of the plastic case is typical for its age (circa 1997). The presence of both original documents significantly enhances its value as a complete collector's set.
