Bidding will open on thousands of pieces Hollywood model maker Greg Jein collected over his lifetime, including many he created during his nearly half-century career.
Also being offered up are a dizzying number of items Jein collected from the 1960s “Batman” television show and the “Star Trek” and “Star Wars” franchises. The “Batman" memorabilia includes Batarangs, utility belts, and a Bat radio. There are phasers, communicators, and tricorders from “Star Trek: The Original Series” from the 1960s, in addition to many costumes, including the formal dress tunic William Shatner wore as “Captain Kirk.
Lou Zutavern, Jein’s longtime friend and shop supervisor, said Jein had a love for Hollywood history and a passion for collecting. Even as a child, Jein was not only a collector, but already an exacting model maker, said his cousin, Jerry Chang. Jein collected baseball cards, comic books, and toys, buying one toy to play with and one to keep, Chang said.
Jein graduated from California State University, Los Angeles in 1967 with a bachelor's degree in art. He then spent some time taking graduate courses and eventually embarked on his career in Hollywood.
