In a bizarre yet brilliant move, Regal Robot has released an utterly absurd prop replica that's sure to delight Indiana Jones fans: Toht's clothes hanger from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yes, you read that right - a clothes hanger.
The scene in which Indy and his nemesis René Belloq (Toht) engage in a rather awkward conversation about the meaning of life while standing around a clothes hanger is often cited as one of the most memorable moments in the film. And now, Regal Robot has taken it upon themselves to create an exact replica of this iconic prop.
"We're always on the lookout for unique pieces that haven't been seen done before," explains Tom Spina, founder of Regal Robot. "Ideas just pop into our heads as we're discussing projects, and when we came across the hanger, it was like a no-brainer - how could we not make this?" The fact that the original prop was meant for another film, 1941, adds to its uniqueness.
However, creating an accurate replica of such a piece proved challenging. "In my head, I always visualized it as black wood dowels with eyelets and chain between them," Spina admits. "But what we ended up with is metal tubing and chain running through little rings - quite different from what I had envisioned!" Despite the unexpected twist, Regal Robot's team persevered and created a custom chain that matches the original.
The end result is a rather impressive replica of Toht's clothes hanger. Not only does it capture the essence of the scene, but it also boasts some impressive detail work - including a hook at the top that doesn't seem to have any clear function or purpose.
Regal Robot's dedication to creating unique and creative prop replicas has earned them a loyal following among fans of Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Their releases often come as a surprise, and this latest piece is no exception. With its tongue-in-cheek humor and playful nod to the original film, Toht's clothes hanger is sure to bring a smile to even the most jaded fan's face.
For those looking to add this quirky prop replica to their collection, Regal Robot has announced that it will be available for purchase on November 11th. Limited to just 500 pieces and priced at $129, it's certainly an investment worth considering for die-hard fans of the franchise.
As Tom Spina so aptly puts it, "This is the stuff we like to do - take something, turn it on its head, make it into something new and unexpected." With Toht's clothes hanger, Regal Robot has once again proven themselves masters of creating unique and captivating prop replicas that are sure to delight fans for years to come.

this is so cool! I mean, who wouldn't want a replica of a clothes hanger from Indiana Jones? It's like they took something normal and made it super weird and iconic. And I love how the creator had an idea of one thing but ended up with something entirely different – it's like a fun little Easter egg for fans. 
. It's like they took something mundane and made it into something iconic. Regal Robot's team did some amazing work with the detail and all that jazz 
. And you know what's even cooler? That it was originally meant for a different movie 
! I'm gonna have to cop one of these for my collection, 500 bucks is no joke though 
.
i mean its just a prop replica but idk if its worth the price tag, maybe ill have to get one just for the laugh 
and that last sentence about turning something new and unexpected on its head just made me chuckle 
.

"The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing" 
...like Regal Robot did with this crazy Toht's clothes hanger replica
