I like the fact that the Death Star is upside down on that JP Star Wars.

Good catch!

[paul waines]

There is no upside down in space...

[Undead]

I always found that amusing myself. Both the montage Pre Oscar and Oscar versions as well as the Seito poster have it that way.

Hey Dead,

So these are my 3 with Oscar noms, B2, B1 and B0.  Did they print a B1 and B0 without the noms too, or is this the whole collection?

Mike, the Faces of Death movies so freaked me out, when myself and a group of friends finally decided to rent them on VHS, thinking that everything shown was real. 

And that is one, 'in your face' poster, that's for sure.

Yeah, rub it in why don't ya. Still looking for the B1 and B0 for that one and frankly all of the B0's for SW.

For your question, I have not read anywhere that there is either a B1 or B0 pre-Oscar but have seen at least 1 B1 years ago.  It was not in person though so cannot 100% guarantee it was authentic.

Faces of death still haunts my dreams.

Stop your whining.  You know exactly what I have as I'm sure you've gone to my website, so shush and send me that B2.  Pronto.

I have an italian one foglio for the first Faces of Death as well. I think it has a worse image on that one compared to this one.

What??? You have a website, I never noticed. I am man enough to admit I am jealous of your Japanese Star Wars B0's. I am still missing a few B1's so those too. Will let you know the next time I run across a pre-Oscar B2.

What's cool with the art on your IT FOD No.2, is that you see that there is another scene going on, in that red area on her face.

[bigmike]

Received this one today as well!

You should be jealous of anything.  They're just posters.  Posters can be found everywhere.  I haven't been jealous of a poster in years because I know they can all be found, and if they can't, there are always other posters.

T, lol, don't you ever get frustrated when you can't find the posters you are looking for??

Nah.  There are so many posters I want, it really doesn't matter.  One more, one less...  Let me give you an example.  The Heritage Signature auction.  I don't look at their catalog until 2-3 days before the auction.  So it prevents me from getting too excited about something.  There is no build up.  And then I don't get the posters for another 6 months.  Like I said, they're just posters and there are plenty of them out there.

Interesting staples look on this, too. Mike, along with those parts of Hopkins' "torn" face.

Upside down - this doesn't even make sense in space.  (muhahaha  )

Btw i guess the designer decided to put the Death Star "upside down", because like this the light is coming from the left - just like the light on Vader's head.

I understand why it was done. If things can't be upside down in space can things rotate in space? Maybe I like the fact that the Death Star is rotated 180 degrees to how we normally view it

Some B2s and B1s, I was happiest to find a decent copy of the Aliens with white border

[erik1925]

Nice pickups, Devin. Cool Aliens, too! 

Is your Munchausen a B1 or B2 size?

It's a B1 as is the Kill Bill 2 (which is printed on REALLY heavy stock)

Congrats on the B1 Munchausen, Devin. I have the B1 too, and it's incredible to see in person!

Received this today and popped it in as snap frame. Not in the best of shape with tape on all fours corners and nicks round border but looks good framed. Forgive the pic taken on my phone.
