The Factory Entertainment Breather Evolution Set prop replicas were created after exhaustive and careful study of surviving props in the EON Productions archives and reference materials such as blueprints, photographs and reference documents. Both replicas are an exact and precise copy of each original prop. Grateful thanks is extended to Pete and Jeff for their assistance and input with this project.

Each finely crafted breather replica set comes with a museum quality display stand, acrylic cover, numbered limited edition plaque, COA, and detailed prop story booklet.

It's a numbered limited edition and the edition size will not exceed 500 pieces.

The Factory Entertainment Moonraker Laser prop replica was created after exhaustive and careful study of the original props in the EON Productions archives, as well as hundreds of reference photographs and original production drawings and blueprints. All the detail on the original has been retained including some of the casting asymmetry on the handmade original, which would not have been visible on screen and a missing trigger. Triggers were deliberately omitted to allow actors wearing thick astronaut style gloves to use the props. This makes the replica visually indistinguishable from the original. However, a heavier weight polyresin and an internal support frame have been employed on the replica to give it more heft and strength than the original.

Each finely crafted Moonraker laser replica comes with a museum quality display stand, numbered limited edition plaque, COA, and detailed prop story booklet. Each replica is also presented in a full color box designed to emulate the distinctive ‘Drax Enterprise Corp’ shipping crates seen in the film.

It's a numbered limited edition of just 500 pieces!

"As FS (Frank Sinatra) would say, 'Koo, Koo.' Wow! I have never heard anyone come this close to Sinatra's sound – and still be himself. Many try, but Robert Davi has the voice, tone, the flavor and the swagger. What a surprise.

He absolutely touched me down to my soul and brought back the essence and soul of 'Ol Blue Eyes himself." - Quincy Jones
