Skyfall Props that I want (Spoiler)

The credit sequence shows a firearms target with Bond's face. Although not strictly in the movie, I think it is a cool prop. The Walther PPK signature gun, Bulldog case and mini tracker are also cool. M's bulldog is definitely on the list too. I also want Bond's shoulder holster and the knife used toward the end. That's it for now until I see it again. Anyone else want to chime in?

Cool!!! I know about some of the stuff including the knife. But the "radio" tracker and the target need to be made. I'm surprised FE didn't at least jump on the tracker. Also, anyone know what make and model of straight razor Bond uses?

Hmmmmm, not sure even I would stretch to that as I would risk cutting myself.
I have been frantically trying to get DC's body though!
Looked great in all the topless scenes.
I think FE said on the Goldfinger Homing Device thread that they were working on the radio from SF
Yeah, I saw that. However, to me, the trackers should have been ready for the release of the film. That way you get the biggest sales potential.

At this stage its really hard to say as it depends on many things beyond our control, approvals mostly but also several exciting production related bits of news that sadly I cannot share yet .
As a ballpark it typically takes 1 year to fully develop and market a replica. We started working on the Radio in May, so..... well around mid 2013 is a sensible guess for the Radio at this point. It could be sooner, it could take longer
Making replicas is a fairly complicated process that has lots of levels. The more complex the piece the more complex the development. The challenge is mostly focused on working out the best way to practically produce a run (several 100 units) of something that has been individually made, that is also suitable for the consumer market without affecting its screen accuracy. For example the Skyfall Radio is only intended as a prop, therefore the battery that powers it is sealed inside. When it runs out its dead, forever and cannot be accessed or replaced without breaking the prop. This is all that is required for the prop which will only be handled and used during production... but does not make for a very practical object to own. The radio is surprisingly complex and has pretty narrow tolerances inside so simply designing and developing a battery execution, using readily available batteries that can be accessed by the average consumer, without affecting the external look or appearance of the piece, and then testing that to meet consumer electronics regulations is fairly involved. And that's just one small part of this piece. Rest assured we are working hard on this and other items as fast as we can, but we will never rush a product just to get it to market, it has to be right first.
We would love to have products from new productions in the market at or around the time of the films release but that is not usually possible for many reasons. In this case we were very lucky, EON allowed us to work with the prop makers almost from the moment the prop was conceived which is a true honor and actually allows us to get ahead of the game.
But ''work" proper on a replica cannot usually begin until production has wrapped and a final cut of a film is 'in the can' why? Because its not 100% guaranteed until that point that the prop will feature in the film as expected or as planned, or indeed even at all. The production team may edit or change it, add fx, or cut out completely an item that is in a script and 'appears' to be in a film. The floors of editing rooms are littered with endless feet of footage of props and ideas that do not make it into the cinematic release of the film. We are incredibly lucky to have the ability to talk directly with EON team members and get inside access. Its not something that is typical in the business and in the end gives Bond fans the best possible replicas.
