I saw the real one they used for the cover photoshoot once, in Forbidden Planet (a scifi collector/toy shop) in London about 10 years ago.
How do you know it was the original one?
And do you think it would be still in the shop right now? I am in London next week, would be good to see it.
It was around '95 or so, and it was in a glass case, like a proper art piece. I'm 99% certain it was the original, it had one of those cards in the case with the artist's name etc.
Unfortunately FP shut down it's Holborn area shop in around 2003, so I've no idea where it might be now. Probably went back to XL? There's a new branch opened on Shaftesbury Avenue, but I've not been there. Worth asking if you're in the area?
