Need Credits... why no credits...
I'm in Canada and it costs more to ship everywhere, so get over it.

cause you have to get a sign off for every name you post.

George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, John Williams, Harrison Ford are a bit hard to contact for sign offs.

I await the news that Spielberg has purchased 10 of them and the "Durieux does it again!" "Genius!" "He's a god!" posts that follow.

Agree with you on both. Also really like the Alien print. My question is why hasn't anyone tapped him to flesh out that Totoro to full size for my wall?

Hyping a timed edition for weeks makes a ton of sense business-wise but personally made the variants a bit underwhelming for me.

I think it does a great job of adding to what is already out there re: Raiders/Indy poster art, which is all you could ask for.

Have gone on and on before about the title, but that is just more Lucas meddling and Joe's hands are tied so I get it.
Agree with others on the credit block on the bottom, would have tied it all together nicely...but yeah, seems like a copyright nightmare.

Love the upstairs/downstairs effect, as all the vintage posters show Indy front and center, whereas in reality he is literally getting down and dirty doing all the work while the villains literally sit and wait in the series especially in Raiders.
Var is better IMO, but the wood is the must have. Don't have a problem with the likeness, not sure what you guys are looking at or if you looked at all the other Indy posters in general...or most movie posters to be honest.
Also, luls at the bulky jacket comment. :roll:

Happy to add to the collection, but especially excited for the potential of Doom and Crusade, which are really underrepresented in general.

Congrats to LD and BNG!

As far as likeness, it's hard to tell from the low quality jpg. The Karen Allen likeness in the preview is pretty spot on though so I'm betting Harrison Ford will look better up close.
