But now I would need to get MJF to sign it...
I'd like to see Rhys do a new Doc matched in size/style with this new one.

Not really. No title.

I think the fact that they're being shipped overseas, if it were US they'd probably be gone.

Really? Sounds like the shipping cost is reasonable.
This print has likeness, Delorean x 2, references(clock tower, fade away, digital clock etc), great artist and the overall composition is in the shape of a Hoverboard. This print is amazing.

Definitely one of the best BTTF prints to come out since Laurent's IMO. Especially since MJF's likeness is on it, plus the composition is amazing

Very proud of Mike at Under the Floorboards for all the hard work he put into this.
Got full approval and support from Universal and Amblin and the blessing and final tick of approval from Michael J Fox himself.
To use the official title though you also need the approval of Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, I don't think would have been a problem but also requires a huge licensing fee which would have defeated the purpose of raising money for the Team Fox charity which was the point of the print and how we got Michael's personal support.

Agreed on all fronts, let's get this thing sold out then! Goes to charity after all

Just curious, but don't you think they could have waived the fee due to it being for the Team Fox charity? Regardless, great print for a good cause.

Two posters were commissioned for the event, one was a promo giveaway of 3000 litho's by Matt Griffin. This one had the logo on it and was not allowed to be sold for fund raising purposes.
Rhy's was allowed and I didn't ask nor did I argue.
The fact that I had permission by from Universal, Amblin and MJFox was good enough for me and I hope Rhys.
Whether there may have been more red tape with MJFox and Universal? I don't really know. We had very little time and Rhys graciously fitted in the art and Seizure the printing. The posters arrived 3 days before the convention.
I'm more than happy with it all, just because the actual title is not on there doesn't take away the fact that its a BTTF print and raising money for a good cause.
So thanks to Rhys and Seizure and all who have bought so far.
I hope to be sending these out very soon, just had a sample tube arrive, needed to check the weight when packaged otherwise if too heavy it slips into a higher P&P price range.
