Hey guys, just a thought for a new thread, save cluttering other ones up. So instead of posting your new posters in the display thread, you can show them off here instead. Eventually it'll turn into a nice little gallery for all our posters and art!

To kick things off I'm going to share a special experience I had today...opening a shed load of posters from Japan! Enjoy and feel free to post your poster collection/additions too!

Had these a while ago...
European Promo - One of my favourites!

These B&W MGS2 posters look really bland on the auction sites but the picture does it no favours, these trully are magnificent pieces of art and I highly recommend all three of them. Especially the Dead Cell one!

This is an amazing poster. The text on these posters is shiney silver and slightly raised off the card, it's stunning!

Love the back of the Subsistence poster. Big Boss and the Boss staring down. W-O-W! I gotta get that one.

LOL Javelin Ladybug has a poster of a shirtless male j-pop star :mrgreen:

Yeah I love that one too! That scene is one of my favourite MGS scenes ever and it's an amazing graphic for a poster, shame it's so small with everything else on the page taking up too much space. Without realising it, one of the banners on my site looks a lot like it which is cool. The only thing that would really make it better is to enlarge the top graphic and lose most of the lower half of the poster! The front graphic is sweet too!

I'm not even going to justify that with a response. :P

Yeah, out of my posters, that one is definitely one of the coolest, I can't decide which I like best but that's definitely up there! I've never seen it for auction or for sale anywhere but i'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for you mate!
