Super 8, Screen Used Chipped Argus Cube

original movie prop

A Chipped Argus Cube from J.J. Abrams 2011 sci-fi thriller, Super 8. In the film, a group of young kids filming a home movie witness a terrifying trail derailment, and subsequently begin to investigate the strange events that occur in their small town after a creature escapes from the wreckage. Argus cubes can be seen throughout the film and are first encountered when the children witness the wreckage of the derailed train. These cubes are individual components that when magnetically assembled, form a large alien spacecraft.

Made from resin, this cube consists of numerous smaller cubes fused together and has been painted a pearlescent white color. This item measures approximately 2" x 2" x 2" (5cm x 5cm x 5cm) features minor wear from production use, particularly to the sides and corners where the smallest cube attachments have been chipped off, leaving the item in fair condition.
