And there is that mystery, Omega/W mark again, too, Matias.

The mystery will be solved someday...

Well, last minuet I renegade and bid on a few lots in Ewbanks sale, and only won one thing...

Still it's a nice original Chantrell concept artwork. Seeing his original work up close is quite amazing.

I would like to Thank Simon for his help getting it to me, it was packaged to with in an inch of it's life... Thanks again Simon.

I believe it was done for a dvd cover...

I cannot tell why that one caught your eye Paul - such a mystery

Nice haul there, gargoyle.

When you say "bulk delivery," do you mean these all came shipped at the same time? Or were they all included in a single bulk lot that you bought?

Pay and hold for the winz

That original artwork is beautiful. Great image of the woman! Also that big delivery of posters is also great. I've always wanted to get a SHOGUN ASSASSIN poster, they are very cool.

This one took almost 5 years to find. As always they show up when you least expect them. It goes to show Thai poster collecting really didn't take off until after the year 2000 because of international demand from ebay exposure and the internet. By then many of the posters had already been destroyed. It pains me to know how many were trashed along with their respective artwork. For distributors it was just another week at the theater. There's a great story about a distributor who brought thousands of Thai movie posters to the Thai film archive some time back. The archive didn't have any room for them at the time, so the distributor just threw them in the trash.

Congrats on that pickup, Mike.

What is cool and unique about the Thai poster, is that this art was redrawn. Seems like the majority of other countries all used Struzan's art. I've always wondered if that was a contractual "rule" demanded by the studio and distributor?

In any case, your poster is awesome. The colors just POP!

Yes this is the only time the image was redrawn. Parts 2 and 3 used the original art. I'm sure in some cases it was contractual, but also it's a lot cheaper to use the supplied artwork than to pay an artist to redraw it is my guess.

Yes, that Marty is definitely off. It's interesting that Tongdee can really nail a face if he has the time to. Sometimes these posters were painted in only a day or two and that's usually when the features are not as good as they could be. Tongdee is certainly capable but didn't always have the time.

Marty was definitely adopted
