The anti-hyping thing is BS and just a dumb fallback excuse that Mitch used in the podcast. It's pointless to anti-hype a Mondo Alien Stout Print, it's not going to have any effect.SteveGo wrote:That's a shame. How will they be able to tell truly bad, lazy art from stuff that people are anti-hyping then? People are ruining it for themselves, I guess.Superfro33 wrote:It often is. It's a pretty fine line.

I shat all over the print in exagerated fashion when it was released because it was just too hard resist and i'm like that (oops), but in all seriousness, no BS, besides the fact that the poster was just not that good, Mondo should have more of an awareness for their customers and fans and should try to avoid situations where they severly dissapoint them. Any company should avoid disappointing their fans, especially when it's super predictable. That's common sense. The poster itself is not what disappointed people, it was the build-up and the let down. If this print was announced like all the other posters where the image came along at the same time as announcing there will be a print, then it would have been just fine.
ANyway. Sorry. This is Mondo disussion taking place in the Vacvvm thread.
