For sale on Firebox is quite possibly the coolest movie product ever.
What could be so cool that it warrants discussion as the best of all time?
How about a candle that looks like Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark?
You may exclaim, “It’s just a candle,” and that may be true. But when the candle melts is when the pure cinephile joy will come across your face.
If you’ve seen Raiders of the Lost Ark, there’s probably one scene that really sticks in the memory. No not that gigantic boulder tumbling after Indy, nor when he shoots that sword-twirling nutter in the market square, nor even when he has that uncomfortable staring contest with a cobra…
No, we’re talking about when ruthless Gestapo agent Toht gets his gory comeuppance at the end of the film – you know, when his eyes roll back like a couple of boiled eggs and he lets out a blood-curdling scream as his entire face dribbles off his skull. That bit. Just awesome. He did Nazi that coming.
Whether it left you with nightmares for weeks or just had you repeatedly hitting the re-wind button, celebrate one of the greatest deaths in all of cinema history with the Melting Toht Candle. Thankfully this detailed replica won’t melt quite as fast so you can really savour the moment.
The best $31 you’ll ever spend is over at Firebox.
