Good to see there's plenty of Mushi love above

I got the B1 version a few years ago, but still haven't got a free piece of wall big enough to put it yet!

I know @Hursit does decent repros...

Yes he does, so I decided to go for a B2 version of above for the time being

Slug 2 is the best poster by miles

2nd best arcade poster there is, behind the Japanese version of Prehistoric Isle

Jesus, you weren't kidding!!



I have a reproduction of Mushihimesama Futari Black Label hanging in my mancave as well, it's great:

That Prehistoric Isle poster is absolutely amazing. I'm always banging on about how great Japanese artists are at portraying movement in static images, perfect example right there.

Funnily enough I collect all kinds of original posters but never really got into collecting arcade ones despite loving a lot of the art and collecting arcade gear. (not sure why that never happened!)

Have a huge collection of Manga Entertainment posters from the 90s though, my favourite one being this big boy:

No longer up on the wall after moving to a new house and my missus reckons we should be going for less of an '80s tentacle horror' look. Perhaps she has a point...

Another interesting / big one I have is this, it's actually a fairly important poster as the date of the show is the date oul Kurty was found on the floor with a shotgun beside him. They're fairly collectable Irish concert posters, this one with a little bit more interest to it as it was one of the ones actually hanging in the venue they were meant to play on the 8th of April.

The screen printing process botched a bit when they were printed making the colours come out differently on them all, so they're all unique.

Damn those are amazing! Originals or actual artwork only for me, when things become too attainable or throwaway i just loose interest in it no matter how cool the art looks.

[o1s1n]

I'd be the same myself, generally it needs the musty smell of time and originality for me to be interested. I'll take creases and folds of authenticity over reproduction crispness every time

Just bumping this topic! Please share your posters

Best poster is B1 size 1985 Gradius

Love all the posters they are amazing I know it's not posters but at some point I'm gonna get these framed and put on the wall, original animation production cels from Akira.

@o1s1n I believe he had some of these as well at some point !!

love the gradius post @F86

Yeah I sold 15 good setups on heritage auctions over the last few years but still have a good chunk on my collection left. They were going for a fortune on heritage so it would have been daft not to send some.

Still have my website www.akira.ie up if anyone fancies a look.

They're lovely pieces Akira99! Be careful framing the cel of Tetsuo so it's not in any sunlight at all as the tracelines will vanish.

Doing a bit of redecorating at the moment and managed to get futari bl poster mounted in the sitting room, so left a bit of a void in the kitchen ...had this tucked away behind one of the cabs not hanging anywhere.always liked it but had now where for it , got it from maxchainsplendid years ago that he coloured for a capcom comp or something
not sure how long it';ll last here but up there for now anyways !

Framed it today. Cheap Ikea frame.

Not sure if I like it or not…

IKEA going harder on the borders than Brexit.

[ChrisBEANS]

lol, sadly the poster is a bizarre size (50cm x 72.5cm?!), so my choices were either a 50 x 70 frame, and cut or at least fold the poster, or something with a border but a display area of 50 x 70 meaning I’ll just hide the top 2.5cm…

No doubt it’ll fade the exposed area anyway but meh.

The exact provenance for the poster is a bit ambiguous, so I don’t think it’s double important…

[SuperPang]

That sounds close to Japanese B2. The official CAVE store prints are JB1. They made plenty of those. The game didn't get a poster on release.

[NASguy]

I have a bunch of Japanese posters that won't fit any standard frame sizes, some are huge bigger than Hollywood one sheets and framing them would cost hundreds of dollars, it's mad annoying, I have some up with tacks because they are too cool to ignore and cause I DGAF. I still have the posters from all the CPS3 kits I bought back in the day and Sega ones. In recent years I have taken to hanging up the posters from limited edition Blu ray sets, they are usually some sort of standard size and a borderless frame is dirt cheap.

Edit: Just saw that I’d basically already said everything thing in this post on the previous page. Good lord I’m boring!!

The only one I am still after as I sit here with this stupid Ibara Kuro poster looking out of place next to 20 other Capcom posters.
