Depending on how long that will take it's best to store them flat.

This is solid advice (also never roll them tighter than they naturally 'want' to go) but I'm getting it done Monday and have no where to safely keep it flat. Thanks though.

A little bit blown up there some similarity. Sex appeal is probably a factor but not as obvious as widow.


Since I am pointing out parts of the poster a couple other things caught my eye

There also appears to be two types of flying monkeys

Her body isn't obfuscated therefore it is sexist.

It's an attempt to do something modern with the "costume". It reminds me of Maleficent a bit. Physically attractive villains are a shorthand for the seductiveness of evil and it happens to men and women alike.

It's pretty clearly a slightly toned down boobs-and-butt pose.

If it's a "boobs-and-butt pose" it's so toned down that you can see neither her boobs, nor her butt. Photographers tend to call this pose "from the side."

So I've determined I'll probably never get my hands on a Mondo poster through Mondo after hoping to snag one of these and finding out they were sold out quickly this morning.

What are the best ways to get them? Just wait until someone sells one for an outrageous amount on ebay or something?

Well I think they're doing Mila Kunis' face on a CGI body in that poster. I don't know if they'll do that in the actual movie, but the few glimpses we've seen so far seem to say so.

An upsetting amount of them immediately go up on ebay at a great range of prices, so it's possibly after a few days/weeks you could pick this up on there for not much more than the original price sold on there ($60/$110).

Tyler Stout specifically seems to really draw people out of the woodwork on their site. Through all of the universal monster sales I was able to grab what I wanted when I sat at the computer and waited. For this one, I was on it within 5 seconds of the twitter post, and the entire site locked up clean for 3 minutes while everything disappeared. It's really the worst game, ever.

Here are the details for the Reseviour Dogs lottery. For every poster Stout gives people a chance to win the opportunity to buy his posters. It's honestly a way better system.

The first way to get them is through Mondo, obviously. On the day of the sale, be up and at the computer at about 8am PST, AT THE LATEST! Go to the Mondo site, and go into the Store link at the top of the page. DO NOT wait on the main Mondo homepage, as it lags slightly behind stuff appearing on the Store page. Make sure you are logged in to your account, and that all your account info (addresses, names, etc) is filled in and up to date. I suggest also keeping a text file open on your desktop, that has your credit card number written in it. Copy the CC number with the copy command on your PC, so it's ready for pasting into the payment field of the store page when the time comes. The text file is there simply so you have a quick backup to copy the number from in case it got removed from the clipboard for some reason.

Then it's a waiting game. Unfortunately you'll have to refresh the page manually or automatically every 10 seconds or so, to make sure you see the new posters as soon as they're posted. DO NOT wait for a post on Twitter saying that poster are up for sale, as by the time Twitter post is made, the posters have been up for sale for up to a minute already. Once a poster goes up, add it your basket and checkout as quickly as you can. You can try to go for two or more posters, but one may sell out, and by the time you've clicked through the dialogues that tells you it's been removed from your cart, the other one may sell out too and then you've got nothing.

Assuming that doesn't work, head on over to Expresso Beans. They catalogue all the Mondo posters, as well as ton of other art content. You'll be able to find the poster you want there, as they allow users to sell their posters there, as well as tracking any current eBay auctions for a particular poster. Sometimes you can find a good deal, but usually Mondo posters immediately double (if not triple) in price as soon as they sell out, so you're you're looking at $100+ for most of their stuff. The price will only go up as time goes on too, so don't leave it too long.

In this case, the poster being for a popular movie, and Stout being the most well known of the Mondo stable, the Res Dogs poster is already quadruple the initial asking price.

But that makes me wonder why, in this "Every Adaptation of a Beloved Classic of Children's Literature MUST be Darker and Edgier" environment, Disney didn't just re-release a 3D upgrade of "Return to OZ"?

Speaking of, I don't know how you'd advertise "Return to OZ" back in the day, but... :psyduck:

No Jack Pumpkinhead puppet? BULLSHIT.

Including The Scarecrow in that puppet gang is almost as weird as what they did for the garish DVD cover, which included the TinMan (who was in the movie for maybe one minute and had a single line, which was "aww....")
