Yeah, he did this painting in 1 day. imagine if he was given 7 days.jlabbate wrote:I agree 100%xangelx wrote:Hmm now having seen it I gotta say I'm a little disappointed.

I was really hoping they could get Drew to do another take on the film..would have absolutely loved to see what he would have done..looks like $250 will be going toward something else
And I'm a HUGE FAN of the film.
I kinda think this one may be back around face value pretty soon. It will initially flip to the insane paper collectors that gotta have it now but in the long run I doubt it. It's a decent sized run,the current "Average" mondo poster fan probably doesn't consider a print for The Thing a must have, if they've even seen the film and if they have they probably don't consider a $250 print a must have.maddog76 wrote:You seriously think this will flip?

I expect to find that the 2X estimates are in line... but I guess I'm shooting myself in the face by adding to the hype as I'm going to be investing in the services of a flipper.maddog76 wrote:You seriously think this will flip? I don't think so but what do I know.
Tyler Stout's Thing print seems to suggest that Mondo fans are quite enthusiastic about "The Thing" - especially when it's got GID. Personally, I expect this to go fast.xangelx wrote:I kinda think this one may be back around face value pretty soon.

I say this definitely makes it to an online drop and even then may not be that hard to get.
Thats probably fair to say but keep in mind that Stouts had a much smaller run and I would also say that among the mondo fanatics it may not be so much that they want it for being a Thing poster but for it being a Stout poster. Also in my opinion Stout's Thing is much better than Struzan's. I would bet that Struzan's Thing never sells for what a Stout Thing does.SurfingJeff wrote:Tyler Stout's Thing print seems to suggest that Mondo fans are quite enthusiastic about "The Thing" - especially when it's got GID.

Also, I think someone suggested earlier that Mondo had already held aside a certain number of copies for the online drop. At least with the GID variant, I can confirm with pretty high confidence that this is NOT the case. If they sell out at the theater, they are gone.
I couldn't care less what it flips for because I won't be selling mine, I've told Jeff before that I would consider trading my Stout Akira for the Struzan Dark Tower but that's because it's Struzan and the subject matter (Stephen King's Dark Tower series is by far my favorite piece of fiction of all time) but I doubt I would trade this even for a Struzan DT. The image is instantly recognizable and not just by horror fans or poster fans, the image is a classic and I'm sure when these get in to the hands of fans and they can be appreciated in person the reaction is going to bexangelx wrote:Thats probably fair to say but keep in mind that Stouts had a much smaller run and I would also say that among the mondo fanatics it may not be so much that they want it for being a Thing poster but for it being a Stout poster.

Same here. If anyone is only buying the reg or the variant and is willing to grab the other for me (I'd love to have either), I'd compensate you for the price and your effort. A long shot, I know, but PM me if you're interested.finneganm wrote:As you can buy one of each, if you are going and plan on only buying one, let me know.
