The Spyboys Props

Well, Just got home and found a package waiting for me. Three cool props from Bond's world courtesy of Ed over at The Spyboys. First up is the throwing knife from the pre-credit sequence of Thunderball. Colonel Boitier (pronounced Bouvar for some strange reason) throws it and pins Bond's arm to a clock and all hell breaks loose.
Second up is the Helga Brandt lipstick gas bomb from YOLT. Ed put a cool little red micro button inside the lipstick tube. The button is not seen in the movie, but it's a cool little touch.
Lastly, the Casino Royale terrorist flashlight bomb. Ed modified the flashlight so that it works just the way it did in the film. Give her a twist and the red light starts blinking just like in the movie. You would not believe the crap Ed went through to get the flashlights and to make them work. I love it. There is nothing cooler than a prop that works.
The truth is, I've learned what all of these items were a long time ago thanks to Ed. However Ed, has a lot of patience in searching these items down and then modifying them as needed. If you're in need of Bond props, vintage or otherwise Ed is your man. He is also knowlegable about other non-bond props as well.
