JLA TROPHY ROOM: Superman’s Cape and Belt Prop Replica Set
The JLA Trophy Room prop replica program continues for 2008 with
Superman’s Cape and Belt!
These life-sized, high-quality, mixed-media replicas of two of the most important pieces of Superman’s costume each feature authentic secret compartments! The lined, red fabric cape features the S-shield sewn meticulously onto the back, while a hidden pocket is sewn into the lining of the cape for Superman to quickly stash any of Clark Kent’s personal effects! The accompanying faux-leather yellow belt fastens with a metal buckle that opens to reveal another secret compartment. Both pieces of this prop replica set can be displayed from the metal wall display shelf included, with the cape hanging from the bottom and the belt sitting on top.
Packaged together in an 4-color box, the cape measures approximately 56” long, 53” wide at the bottom and 20” wide at the top, the belt measures 36” long, and the display shelf measures approximately 22” long x 3.25” high x 5.25” deep.
