Francisco de Orellana’s Death Mask Wall Decor by Regal Robot is up for pre-order, and it’s a 1:1 resin replica of the golden mask from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It costs $160 and is expected to ship between April and June 2027. I’ll admit it: a wall-hanging movie prop is my favorite kind of oddball pre-order.
The Francisco de Orellana’s Death Mask Wall Decor is a 10-inch (25 cm) cast resin replica of the golden mask from the 2008 film Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It is made by Regal Robot and priced at $160. Shipping is estimated for April to June 2027, with the window possibly running through September 2027.
Scanned Off the Real Thing
This is the part that got my attention. Regal Robot says its team was allowed hands-on access to the original prop in the film’s prop archives and scanned it in high resolution, so the sculpt isn’t somebody’s interpretation from blurry screenshots. At nearly 10 inches tall and sized 1:1 to the film prop, it’s the actual footprint of the mask Indy and Mutt pull out of Orellana’s grave in 1957. It’s also Regal Robot’s first piece from Crystal Skull, which makes it a fun pickup if your Indy shelf leans heavily on Raiders.
The Paint Job Is Doing Heavy Lifting
A gold mask could easily look like a party store costume, and that’s the trap I’m watching for. Regal Robot goes with a metallic finish over the cast resin, then adds hand-painted aging and patina to match the screen prop. That grime is what sells the story, because Orellana’s gold should look like it sat in the dark for centuries, not like it came off a trophy shop shelf. It’s the same thinking you see from a high-end studio like Prime 1 Studio, where the weathering layer matters as much as the sculpt underneath.
Built for the Wall, Fine on a Shelf
The back has a pair of keyhole hangers, so this is meant to hang flat like a real artifact. Two hangers instead of one should keep it from tilting crooked every time somebody shuts a door. If drilling into drywall isn’t an option, Regal Robot says it also works on a shelf, which I’d believe given the face-forward design. I like that it breaks up a wall of boxed figures with something that reads as a museum piece first and merch second.
The Box and the Waiting Game
It ships in a kraft corrugated box with carved styrofoam padding and a color printed Indiana Jones insert card. That’s practical packaging, not a display box, so don’t plan on keeping it sealed for looks. There’s a limit of 6 per person, and the estimated window is April to June 2027, though it may ship through September 2027. We’ll update this if the date firms up.

The Collector’s Survival Guide: How to Justify This
The Collector Math: Francisco de Orellana spent years crossing the Amazon looking for El Dorado and never found the gold. I found his mask on Sideshow for $160, and saving from today until it ships in April comes to under $27 a month. Honestly, Orellana should’ve just pre-ordered.
How to tell your wife: This mask is from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the movie where Indiana Jones finally married Marion after keeping her waiting since Raiders. That makes it wedding memorabilia, and you can’t put a price on love, so the $160 doesn’t count. Happy anniversary, honey.
How to tell your parents: Dad, you always said I should learn real history instead of just watching movies. Francisco de Orellana was an actual Spanish explorer who sailed the length of the Amazon in 1542, and Indiana Jones went all the way to Peru to find him. It belongs in a museum, so the hallway opens Saturday.
How to tell your kids: In Raiders, Indy lifted one golden idol off its stand and the whole temple came down. This mask is from his world, so you can look at it all day, but it never leaves the wall. Don’t bother with a bag of sand; Indy tried that.
For $160, a 1:1 scan of the actual Crystal Skull prop with hand-painted patina is one of the more honest ways to own a piece of that film. If your shelves are already full, those two keyhole hangers turn a blank wall into the spot I think this mask was always meant for.
