WTB Large Metal Gear Solid posters

TurboButts · #1 07-17-2015, 04:41 PM

I've been looking high and low for a specific MGS4 poster for years now - I've even tried to find a print shop willing to bend the law and print it with no luck, but I just stumbled across this forum and thought I'd give this a shot.

I'm looking for the MGS4 film styled poster. I prefer a large size like 40" x 27" but beggars can't be choosers, any size will do. Condition doesn't matter.

If you have any other MGS 1, 2, 3 or 4 posters you might sell, let me know because I'm probably interested.

Thanks!

One of the rarest posters to find, I still have a few contacts from the old diesnake forum, I can ask around.

I've got peace walker and ac!d promo posters I'm trying to get rid of but postage to the USA is expensive for poster tubes.

There's a fabric wall scroll on Amazon of this poster but I've never actually seen a wall scroll so I don't really know what the quality is like for those or if I can get it framed.

But this is my white whale, so if you know someone with it that would sell it, I would be very appreciative. I didn't realize it was that rare though.

And your Peace Walker poster, I saw it in that other thread. What size is it?

I think the peace walker is A2 size. 594x420mm.

Yeah that mgs4 theatre style poster, the legit promo one anyway, is pretty rare and expensive.

The legit one is B2 size. If you don't care about whether it's official, you can probably find one on ebay, like one of these kind of listings: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/MGS44O-Metal-...-/301652443111 although there are differences. For example the legit one has "A Hideo Kojima Game" above "Metal Gear Solid 4".

I noticed metal gear jd is gone now as well. Know of any new sites for mgs collectors?

According to this there's only 50 of the legit posters then. So maybe I'll settle for that one you posted. Pardon my ignorance, I'm not a collector: why would a fake exist? Like why did someone go through the trouble to photoshop out "A Hideo Kojima Game?" It's not like that makes it legal to reprint them or anything?

There's only 50 of the signed version. I think they were signed at a launch event in Tokyo. There's more of the regular, but its still quite rare. I have only seen a couple in the last 3 or so years - 1 non-signed and 1 signed. There are so many extremely rare MGS posters which make them very fun to collect, but extra disappointing when you lose an auction.

It's not photoshopped, I'm assuming the image that is around the internet (like the one you posted above) just happens to be different from the official poster.
