curious as well if I can add to Dark Knight order and swap out with 2001

solid price at only $50

--

"We've been messing around with an affordable framing option for our new line of Lenticular prints, and we finally have one available! This option is for our The Dark Knight lenticular buyers, as these will come framed from the factory. We've chosen a very simple, yet elegant, 1/4" profile aluminum satin black finish frame. We also decided against any glazing to prevent additional glare. The frame is a $50 add-on and no extra shipping will be charged. Your order will arrive framed and ready to hang!

Material: Aluminum
Finish: Black Satin
Profile: 1/4"
Depth: 1 1/8""

eh its possible but I wouldn't recommend it. It's not one of those easy insert 1 2 3 frames.
I am tempted as well and use it for the 2001 Space Odyssey. I assume it works for the 4 mm plex too?
There is a frame for the 4mm. So you would have to buy it for the dark knight plex but again I wouldn't really recommend it unless you want to take it apart.

The light boxes should hopefully be done over the next few months. Those are actually snappable so you can replace all the plexes.

That's interesting news. I have been eyeballing one on displays2go but I might just wait to see what you guys can come up with. I definitely want one that can easily swap the plex versions, I had doubts about whether the model I was looking at would accommodate it.

He's talking about the light box frames that bottleneck are in the process of developing and selling.

We actually have John Alvin's Goonies approved too but that requires some work. Its the version with the silhouttes
Will you be offering a version of the Alvin poster that shows the character details rather than the silhouettes?

yea light boxes will def be more the $50 but way less then what they're going for. Still haven't figured it out because we are still designing. 90% there.
