Want to buy a gift for a dear friend and he's an avid movie fan, especially of the marvel movies / tv shows. I thought I'd buy him a genuine movie prop or some kind of film memorabilia. Doing a google search, many are US based, but there's a handful in the UK but I'm not convinced they're the real deal.

Budget of £200 but wanted to see if anyone had any sources of websites or stores that I could buy either genuine props or some quality memorabilia. Would love to buy something from Hot Toys but the budget doesn't stretch that far.

Appreciate if anyone has any links they've used previously and can recommend

Prop Store is still the big one isn't it?

Saw the website earlier and all the pricing was in USD. Just taken another look and it looks like it filters on UK so will have a hunt around. Thank you

Or if too pricey - look at getting original film cells.

A pucka original poster, nicely framed, can be a very fine thing. It will also hold its value.

Good call, I bought a book mark made from a cell from my wife’s favourite film
