That seller seems positively restrained. Another guy has one up for $10,000.

This is just celebrating the art. Totally different reason for existing.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

i've never seen The Thing...there's still work for this image to do for me, all up on my eyes like the glittery drips of a sweaty hooker's vagina.

Stupid request here, but can anyone that's already picked up their Struzan confirm the exact dimensions? I want to get a head start in ordering my frame :wink:

I mean yeah, his work definitely kicks ass but the price especially the asking prices on eBay and even here on EB are really wicked!
Just saying, 600+ $ is somehow expensive and I don't know how much the hype is helping them to even get more for it -it still is only the original poster without typo ...

Still a fantastic image with a lot of screens... by THE modern poster artist. I think all the criticisms are valid, but even with them I like the option of getting some awesome Struzan screens over the option of never getting any. And I have no qualms with putting something so iconic up on my walls. :P

As others have said... text is kind of unnecessary. Everyone knows what it is. Let the art speak for itself. If someone doesn't know what it is... kick them out of your house. :lol:

I don't find this print too appealing. I think I'm in the minority.

Courtesy if rubenjleal in the Mondo thread ... the GID ... not sure this was worth an extra $100, IMO

Nope I personally don't either but Frankenstein on the other hand I think is a masterpiece.
