The Prop Gallery at the 2015 MCM Birmingham Comic Con

Following the success of the 2014 event The Prop Gallery returned to the MCM Comic Con held at the NEC Birmingham on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd November 2015. On display at our corporate stand were numerous artefacts used in the creation of various movies, many of which had never been publicly exhibited, including original props, costumes and filming miniatures from favourites such as Batman, The Terminator, Alien, Superman and Back to the Future while representing television were Star Trek and Gerry Anderson's UFO.

With almost 40,000 visitors it was certainly a hectic weekend, we would like to thank everyone who stopped by and contributed to a memorable event!
