Whoa very nice!

Congrats Jeff!

erik1925 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 06, 2018, 12:24:06 AM »

Thanks again, all. The imagery is simple, and considering it's based on the artwork used on some first & earlier re-release stuff (like the '38rr 3-sheet), I'm very happy to have tripped across it, that's for sure.

Go, Monstruo, Go! Great fun, Jeff! Okie

Good on you Jeff

Has been a long while. But just got this in the mail today!

erik1925 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 06, 2018, 12:05:24 PM »

That poster makes a point, Mike.

Congrats on the pickup.

Nice grab, Jeff. Hard to go wrong with any kind of Frankie.

Awesome, Mike! A classic from the 80's for sure. I still remember the first time I saw the 'twist' at the end as a kid...

Chris9000 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2018, 08:26:22 PM »

To piggyback off of Jeff's, Frankenstein.... Here are two Mondo prints that I grabbed not long ago, both featuring art by Francesco Francavilla, Dracula & Frankenstein. They'll go well on the office walls with my Creature From The Black Lagoon Mondo print by Stan and Vince from a few years ago (also below). I'm not a huge Mondo buyer, but I couldn't pass on these classic looking Universals.

Nice pickups, there, Chris.

And a little ironic that you picked up that one Frankie print, as I happened to mention it in another thread about a week ago, too, when I came across an image of it, randomly online, somewhere:

I think artist Francavilla did an AMAZING job on it, combining elements of both old and new styles. It shines, Big Time!

Chris9000 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 09, 2018, 10:36:50 AM »

Thanks, Jeff!

You're right for sure... the combination of the old style and the color contrast really make it 'pop.' The b&w version is not quite effective.

I wasn't even aware of the Dam Busters re-release. Looks quite the business. Very nice.

Got lucky with another one I've never seen.

Nice ones this month! I like that Dam Busters and the two Franks (Mondo and Argentinean re-release) especially.

Here are 3 I got relatively recently.

Bone Tomahawk US one sheet - this is signed by the director on the back (on a sticker!). Really enjoyed this film. Many thanks to Jason for receiving a gazillion posters for me, storing them, then posting them all over in a jumbo tube, including this one

Wonder Woman Japanese B1 - think this was my fave superhero film of the last couple of years (along with Thor Ragnarok)

The Shape of Water Japanese B1 - this is double sided and on card stock, very nice print quality. Loved the film and the art by James Jean on this poster

Love that Shape of Water and interesting Wonder Woman poster too. Bone is very different from the ones in the UK, interesting.

Nice find there, Mike.

Looks to be artist signed in the lower left area in yellow? If so, what's the name?

It's a big thing in the UK, most cinemas seem to be showing it on the day and there is a big thing on a the Royal Albert Hall with orchestra and discussion etc being beamed out to cinemas country wide. Beautiful looking restoration (4k) by the look of the trailer.

FYI https://www.thedambusters75.co.uk/royal-albert-hall-event/

Trailer.

Sub note: Quite a few cinemas got the screening date wrong - someone miss printed the info somewhere and quite a few (including the one I work in) advertised it as 17th March. Only to realise on the day when the print hadn't turned up that it was wrong.. !!!

Unfortunately I am going be out of the country which I am really bummed about as wanted to see it.

Poster is really great but I have done quite a lot of research trying to find out who the artist is but I cannot find that info anywhere. If anyone knows please post here.

Great fun to see Stripes Thai style, Mike! I wonder what Thai audiences thought of this quirky, funny movie? I bet there were some interesting translations. Okie
