There are about three people in the entire world for whom I am performing this public service.  And what is even further questionable is that I know not one of their names.

Skyfall and SPECTRE had a few one sheets and quads produced.  The designs were woeful so this is less about the celebration of art and more about an indexing of variations for the world's three people who could possibly give a sh-t.  The timing of this is due to a couple of additions for variations that I had thought not available.

Below is all that I have in my collection so all these have been printed as opposed to the variety of digital images that make their merry way around the virtual world. 

SF means Skyfall.
US 1 sheets are also probably the International ones.  Read and weep.

That isnt really a recall, a recall is "send them back to us". That is a replace, which is very common when new versions come out that they request this. The destroy is also common as they obviously dont want stuff sold.

This might segue into a previous but similar topic about there being a black Bond. 

In the same way that I proffered that was absolutely fine so long as we can reasonably entertain the idea of Shaft being played by Hugh Grant, Or Obama by Rupert Everett, so too can we consider Wonder Woman being played by Hugh Jackman!

So Bond's whiteness is intrinsic to his character? Not being fictitious, i'm asking as someone who knows fuck all about Bond.

Simes,

Just wondering in regards to the recent sale of this hard to find version of Skyfall (link below) how rare it is? I was keen to bid but it got rather high so i thought i would hold out for another copy

Well, for my insignificant part, about as intrinsic, as I said earlier, as Obama being portrayed by a white actor.  Like Weisz said, if women want to play a spy, get their own character.  Like Jolie's Salt.  One doesn't have to take a lazy route to ticket sales by selling a well known concept and messing with it like that.  It would be a gimmick without lasting effect or duration.

Bond in the novels was described as white, with black hair and a comma of which fell over his right eye.  Clearly we don't currently have that in Craig's portrayal - it just depends on how much one wants to mess with a character's physical description.

All to my mind of course.

Hi,

Yes.  I mentioned this one at the tail end of the post about the two SPECTRE Odeon posters.  To my mind it was likely to have been a $40 poster.  But, as Bruce said, he had never auctioned one before so I don't know.

I have one I bought when Skyfall was hitting the screens and thereafter did not notice whether others had cropped up for sale.

There were four character banners for the film, of which only one it seems was printed into 1 Sheet format.  I never saw any others in 1 sheet form so it does appear to be an anomaly.

But, the price did surprise me.

Craig doesnt strike me as a Bond persona at all. He doesn't fit "the look," and he almost has a face better suited to a villain (in only my mind's eye and thought, of course).

I looked at Timothy Dalton's portrayal in much the same way. Yes, he had the dark shock of hair and build, but he is look always struck me as more evil or sinister. (And maybe that's one of the reasons that his version of Bond was short lived?)  dontknow.gif

One for here and also the What's on Your Walls thread...

Something I did for a friend who wanted something OHMSS on his wall.  Bought from EMP, archivally restored by Alain Bourguoin and framed in Windsor with museum glass (UV and non-reflective).



So chuffed was he with the results (all fold lines removed etc.) that he is thinking the way to go is for one insert from each of the actors.  Connery, Moore and maybe Dalton if life progresses that far.

A couple for the Bond thread and also the March Acquisitions thread.

First up is something that should, in my right mind, make me question myself.  Define the interest, define the boundaries, define any damned thing.  But lo, behold the 70's oranges, celebrate the bold type, and marvel at the mainstream company tie-in between Bond and Woman's Own magazine.



The chap even said in the auction, Ewbank's, 'one only for the completists.'  Oh Lord, I thought.

This one might be a little more interesting.

You do this for long enough, time says you've seen all the variations and idiosyncrasies of a particular poster design.  Well, a post on this forum lead me to Wolfgang's Kino poster site and there was a Spy 1 Sheet poster that had been sold, the image of which remained though.

It showcased an alternate type and colour for the tag line at the top of the poster.  I was obviously aware of the fully red one, had relatively recently been introduced via Adam's site to the all blue one (and subsequently acquired), but this was red and blue in the same font as the all blue version.

A search in the Heritage and emp archives informed me that they had both never sold one...!

An email to Wolfgang got me the email address of the chap who bought it together with the information that he too, Wolfgang, had never noticed the difference.  Emailing the buyer elicited no response.  The poster itself was in fairly used and abused condition, but nonetheless...

Thinking I had come across something that would Never again be sold, I settled into a feeling of resignation.  ...Until the very following week when Heritage popped up a mint and rolled version of the very same poster!  Not sure anyone else noticed either (at least, of those who were in the market.  A friend did also bring it to my attention) as it went for a reasonable price for a rolled 70's 1 Sheet.

Below the poster and the variations.  The red and blue strip is blown up from the Heritage image, not something I took, hence the pixelated artefacts.

Yeah, I saw them at the Westminster Fair mate.
Probably the rarest SF set going.

The Woman's Own poster isn't exactly awe inspiring, but for the rarity it's a no-brainer!

The Westminster Fair has been going for years, but my mate who used to work for them told me Showmasters bought it out which probably spells the end of it. They destroyed Autographica and will likely do the same to this.

I went to buy them, but the guy had already sold all his sets to one person and wouldn't let me have the ones he TAPED to the wall...yes, taped to the wall. I think he sold them for just £60 per set!

Hmm.

Seems I am shy of a further three SF posters then.

Of course, taping.  The sign of a poster professional.  He probably folded them before taking them home.

This guy would often use one set for display and the others to sell.
He once gifted me a few CR character posters as they were damaged due to displaying. I subsequently gave them away to some collector friends. I was never going to sell them in the state they were in.

For those perusing this thread, something copied from the March 2018 thread.

Thomas Nixdorf's original art Facebook site.

"If you like Dan Goozee's perspective art, you can see a bunch of concept arts on this site.  All originals owned by the first chap to do a poster book on Bond.

All sorts of weird angles up the Eiffel Tower and on top of the extended ladders of a fire truck.  Brilliant stuff."

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.102348066521732.5044.100002396168878&type=3

This second link will have Bond actually aiming at something.

Hey, Simon. The GG quad is, shall we say, different. I've never seen one but it's definitely rare. Of the 3 SPY 1-sheets, I think the red and blue variation is the most attractive. What puzzles me is why would UA or Broccoli would change it, unless it was a test run and somebody either approved or disapproved it. A rare curiosity for sure.
If your friend with the OHMSS insert is serious, He'll have a hard time finding a Dalton insert, since inserts for the Bonds ended with AVTAK. Perhaps a daybill could fill in?
