The original ABs had the Staff of Ra as the label, but this was switched within the last year, so it could be authentic. Hard to say, without seeing it. Some of the other guys here know much more about it then I do.

I really liked the gray one as well, but the hero hat was my favorite. I love the crease. It is a really beautiful hat. When I first saw it, I didn't really like it. But after seeing it on screen, I think it is my favorite. I love the Raiders hat, it is a classic, but the CS hat is something else. ...

When I talked to Bernie a couple of days ago, he mentioned that there were enough hats left from this film to make another film. Let's hope that is indeed the case!

The velcro just allows you to adjust the length of the holder. Once it is the right length to keep your whip snug while snapped, just snap and unsnap to hold the whip. The velcro looks like it is just meant for adjustment. I am apparently a huge moron (I'm ok with that :lol: ), but what do you mean...

Doesn't the whip go into the section that snaps? I sure thought it did. The velcro section is not actualy attached to the snap section, so it would seem strange to have the whip attached in two areas. Indy would never get his whip out in time if he had to remove it in two places. :lol:
