Ugh. Mine is delayed due to a shipping error. Tracking shows that it's supposed be delivered tomorrow. Keeping fingers crossed. This is my first drop purchase and the wait is killing me. Anyone who wants to post a picture tonight be my guest

I received my reg yesterday. The image is 36 x 24 but the foil is actually a touch under 38 x 26. Is that normal. Did anyone else notice this?

Yes, and it's a custom size so you have to order a frame from a place like Poster Frame Depot. I wish I would have known this beforehand.

Was going to go for the variant initially, but then went with the reg because of the warmer colors.
Received today and can't believe these haven't sold out yet. Gorgeous.

Has anyone contact DHM about this? The blog post clearly states it's 36x24.

PM me if you want to talk frames, please have something in mind and a price in mind as well though.

Hi guys,

As the Forbidden Planet pieces weren't set up by Kilian for a full bleed finish the printer felt they'd look more balanced, and more attractive, if allowing for a 1" border on each side, and while we were contacted about this only after they were nearing the run's completion, we nonetheless agreed they benefited greatly-esp with the border being foil and so complimenting the principal art. Stronger pieces overall because of it and they're really something to see in person, glad you're impressed.

Thanks as always for the support,

DHM

Crap. Ordered a 24x36 frame that's coming in Wednesday for this. Now not sure whether to shell out the extra expense for something custom. :/

I'd rather give up the foil border to be able to put it in a standard frame. They look great, but it's a bummer..
