December is a time of year that's synonymous with sparkles that look like stars, twinkles that seem almost cosmically bright, and all sorts of silver-shiny gewgaws, the kinds of items you might find aboard a gleaming rocket ship.
It's an eye-catching and otherworldly month, in other words, but sci-fi splendor and the heart of the holiday season don't intertwine all that often, or as often as someone who adores both might wish.
But here's some good news: That's changing about a week ahead of Christmas when the "Robots, Wizards, Heroes & Aliens: Hollywood Legends" auction phones home at Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills.

Indeed, "phones homes" is a reference to a certain sweet space traveler, so you can bet you'll spy E.T the Extra-Terrestrial, or rather an animatronic E.T. head, in the collection.
Other iconic additions to the line-up include a "Fantastic Voyage" ship, a Xenomorph head from "Aliens," a "Back to the Future Part II" hoverboard, and the oh-so-cuddly Muffit II the daggit, a "Battlestar Galactica" favorite; Marvel and Harry Potter treasures will also be in the spotlight.
"We are excited to announce the first two days of our "Hollywood Legends" auction event curated with our esteemed partner TCM that encompasses an incredible array of marquee items from the worlds of Sci-Fi, Contemporary, Classic, and Blockbuster franchises representing some of the biggest and most popular films and television shows of all time," said Martin Nolan, co-founder and executive director of Julien's Auctions.
