Cool to see the Alvin Goonies and I like that it’s different to the theatrical poster. I was very happy to snag one!
Congrats. Is yours rolled or folded?

This, along with the ET moon/cloud advances have literally skyrocketed in the past 10 years.
Sorry, I meant I was happy to snag the print today. The theatrical poster was on my list, but I took too long and it’s too pricey now! The print is a nice alternative though.

I do have a Japanese B1 size theatrical poster of the Ohrai artwork above though, it’s a gorgeous poster.

Probably in the minority but i prefer the edited colour palette where the kids are in silhouette form and the colours are more muted. I still absolutely love it though, especially after only recently discovering the hidden ship imagery formed from the negative space, genius!
No, I agree. It also has the dotted line and X which I also like. I didn't realize at first that this version was different, since it's been a while. I chased after that poster for a bit, so this version will still do nicely! Maybe I'm slow, but I don't see a ship though. :?
If you make the poster really small it is easier to see: imagine the ship is coming out at you with the nose/front slightly pointing to the right, the bulk of the area cut out of the map is the sail, the area of rock framed from the rest of the cut out map is the actual ships shape, i think the staff was added and positioned exactly so that it formed the masthead too. I tried searching for an official rationale online but couldn't find one but i can't unsee it and it just feels right.

Immediately elevates the art as otherwise the random floating map serves no real purpose. More importantly it perfectly encapsulates a sense of adventure and imagination with the kids being transported from an otherwise normal scene where they are standing on a rocky incline to essentially standing on a ship.

Kind of thought that lenticular pieces were on the "this-is-cheesy-as-drymount" side of the hobby, but got the Thing in today... And it's pretty cool.

Yea they’re fun. We just got a license recently and it’s the best lenticular we’ve produced. Can’t stop looking at it each day

I'll send you my copy if you promise to send it back :lol: Just so there's a higher chance to get the original poster as a screen print because it's gorgeous.

I'd say going in like 4 beers deep is probably the best way to watch it, but to each their own.

I was scrolling through Netflix last week and it popped up, and I did a full Leo meme moment from Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. My wife was not nearly as excited as I was.
