Maybe it\'s just me, but I know on some other boards people tend to use the words \'prop\' and \'replica\' almost interchangably. For example, someone will say, "I got this new prop" but it\'s not a prop, it\'s a replica.
I don\'t know, I tend to think of props as something that was actually used in the production of a film, and a replica as a recreation of a prop. For some reason it bugs the snot out of me when people call a replica a prop. It\'s like, "Ahhh, it\'s not a prop! It\'s a replica!"
Maybe I\'m just wierd. But I don\'t think of anything in my collection as a prop. They\'re replicas of props.
Comments? Anyone? You in the back with your hand up.
