I think Ricky the Dragon Steamboat Willie was an exception. Iconic figure in Mickey, cool use of subtle colors etc

Okay, okay, ... let's all stop talking about what a wonderful flip-tacular print Steamboat Willie is ... I still need to figure out how to get that a reasonable price!

The end of the Star Wars run got 'em worked up into a regular hee-haw fest. It'll settle down once the donks realize they're spending the grocery money to make almost nothing and then they get hit up with hella eBay fees and wind up in the hole at the end of the month. Wives cancel credit cards over fudge like that.

What does a poor lady locking her keys in her car have to do with making money?

The wife grabbed The Wise Little Hen piece at the store yesterday. She grabbed a matching number to our Steamboat Willie for the boy's room. Glad, cause I've been in class the last couple of drops.

Keep hanging in there and wait for the Sideshow variant release. I'm sure it will cost more than the regular did, but it will still be cheaper than buying from eBay. They announced the Sideshow partnership back in December, so I'm sure we will have to see their first poster release sooner rather than later at this point.

Thanks DD. Believe me I am, check everyweek ... just not sure what to expect when/if it ever does drop. That sideshow place really is a circus ... makes mondo look like a walk in the park! 8)

Since the regular was a metallic print, It makes me wonder what their 'variant' will be? :?

Not hating, to each their own, just wondering why all the hype behind this drop? Has mondo officially reached "doesn't matter what we release, it'll sell out" status? The Hen piece, I get it, it's cute and would look cool in a kid's room etc. But, I don't get the Thor piece at all.
not sure where you heard the movie sucks, but i've seen nothing but rave reviews from top critics. it's currently 86% at rottentomatoes. thor wasn't on my radar at all, but now i'm pretty excited to see it. the print, on the other hand, just isn't my cup of tea.

Well Done!
When it all comes down to it, it's just paper.
