The output of these guys is increasing and whilst each of their prints aren't everyone's cup of tea, I figured We Buy Your Kid's deserved their own thread. I've been a fan of their gig prints that have been floating around Australia for years, so it's nice to see them break out and do some film prints.

Here's a few classics:

And this is easily their best: Image

I'd have to say as well that their Silence of the Lambs print is the best one put out by Mondo at the moment.

Love these guys. I'd cut my left nut off for a copy of their Suspiria.

And I'd sell you one for both, but alas.

Not my cup of tea per se, but still good, interesting takes. Their Beetlejuice and Wizard of Oz are fantastic.

I'm a big fan of WBYK and think they're one of the most under-rated artists out there right now. They just set up their own archive/shop websites.

Agreed. Big fan also.

Some dude on ebay has been trying to sell that Shining poster for $500+ for a year or so, AP is in the store for $75

I've wanted that suspiria for awhile. So good.

I'm really digging that deep red print too. That's 2 for 2 so far with Argento.
