Factory Entertainment announced it’s bringing fans of The Goonies closer than ever to One-Eyed Willy’s treasure with the release of a collectible replica of the Copper Bones Skeleton Key featured in the original film.
Factory Entertainment worked with both Warner Bros. and Amblin to track down the original key prop used on the set of the 1985 film, which is part of a collection owned by a prominent filmmaker. The 6-inch long hand-painted and weathered Copper Bones Skeleton Key Prop Replica is cast out of metal, and also features a leather strap.

The creative team replicated the key prop by creating a digital sculpt and a 3D printed prototype. The prototype was then used to create a casting master, ensuring that everything present on the original prop would remain intact. Each officially licensed replica is individually packaged in a collector gift box.
The Goonies debuted in theaters in 1985 and follows a group of young kids who live in the “Goon Docks” neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon, as they attempt to save their homes from foreclosure. Along the way, the friends discover an old treasure map that takes them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of a storied 17th-century pirate named One-Eyed Willy.
While the classic film has never received a sequel, the film’s cast reunited — along with the film’s executive producer Steven Spielberg and musician Cyndi Lauper — last year to help raise funds for the Center for Disaster Philanthropy. In Episode 1 of the Reunite Apart with Josh Gad YouTube series, members of the main cast shared behind-the-scenes stories from the film’s set and revealed what it was like to be a part of Lauper’s music video for the film’s theme, “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.”
A Goonies-themed version of Monopoly was also released last summer. MONOPOLY®: The Goonies allows for two to six players to go on a quest for One-Eyed Willy’s treasure while buying, trading and selling locations around the city of Astoria. Player pieces include Copper Bones, Willy’s Eye Patch, and a Skull and Crossed Bones. The game is available throughout TheOp and retails for $39.99.
The Copper Bones Skeleton Key Prop Replica is available to preorder now on Factory Entertainment’s website and retails for $99.99. They are scheduled to ship in fall 2021.
Directed by Richard Donner from a screenplay by Chris Columbus, The Goonies starred Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Key Huy Quan, Martha Plimpton and Kerri Green.
