Prop Up Video and photo review: “Lost” Kahana Frieghter Bomb used by Michael

Theres the link for the factual side behind the bomb.

Picture from Profiles "lost" auction catalogue.

Well…here we go again. Some how the Irish gods are smiling and another lot from the “profiles” auction that I originally had listed comes back my way. Posted on the “affordable LOST props” site….I was EXTREMELY surprised to see this prop come up for sale, and after being soundly beaten during the auction for it, it really was one of the only pieces from the auction I was sad about not winning.

Luckily I saw the item come up purely by accident and reading a post on the RPF and bought the item that same day, even though I feared the simple fact that it all seemed too be good to be true….BUT here it is…straight from Bob and the http://affordablelostprops.3dcartstores.com/site.

The item also has the "cover" that was used to hide the bomb from prying eyes. This was not featured in the original auction description

Used during the episode “MEET KEVIN JOHNSON” from season 4 this is the case carried by Michael, disguised as a tool box, complete with the inner tools or most of them, the shelf that hides the inner bomb that wasn’t shown in the Profiles catalogue, the missing pieces of C4 and almost 100% intact, and a screenmatch! Heck…even the light still turns on when you hit “EXECUTE”.

Yes the C4 is made from paper wrapped blocks of wood, yes the tools are real, no the digital readout was CGI, and yes the flag pops up under what appears is remote control, the flag comes off and the little note “NOT YET” has velcro to keep it wrapped around. Its hidden my Michaels fingers when opened. The tool kit itself has all real tools, some working items like the solding iron and torch, and the slots for them are custom made leather, not surprisingly a found item.

Here is a video of the item in the show…

…and a Prop Up Video segment.
