I’ve been running hot and cold (mostly cold) on the more recent Star Wars prints from Mondo. But the latest offerings – which go on sale later today – are pretty neat. They’re limited run and go on sale sometime today – You’ll have to keep an eye on Mondo’s Twitter to find out exactly.
UPDATE: And… Gone.
These just aren’t my style of art, but they’re pretty bold. Nice to see a new take on it.
If it wasn’t for the Fett I would actually consider buying these. It’s the closest they’ve come to something I would want since the very first Gonk one.
At least there’s a reason the artist used Fett. I like ’em, which means I almost certainly won’t get ’em in time.
True… And it is pretty clever use of Cloud City.
I really wanted the ROTJ poster, but no dice.
I won’t try for another of their posters no matter how much I like it. If that’s how fast they sell out there’s no way. I can’t compete with that.
Yeah… It’s a crapshoot. I’ve asked Matt on Twitter if there’s any chance of lower-cost versions coming to StarWars shop, but I’m not expecting a positive answer.
…Particularly in light of this.
(Indeed.)
I get the reasoning behind “limited editions” but a window of availability of under a minute or two….yikes. Total turnoff.
Mondo likes to flaunt how their stuff is such high quality. I’d like to think that offering lower cost, lower quality prints at SWshop wouldn’t affect the value of Mondo’s LE’s, but who knows?
Well, I was thinking a different color scheme? It wouldn’t work for all of them, but for these…
Oh well.
Heck I’d be interested if SWshop could offer them as postcards. I only have so much wall space, after all. :)
I could get behind that, too. And given how many prints there are, a postcard set makes a ton of sense.
postcards would be cool
i do really like the use of Bespin on the ESB one.
Was really going to try and get one of these. I don’t usually go for Mondo’s stuff, but these I really liked. Walked away for three minutes to move a load of laundry to the dryer and when I came back they had not only gone on sale but completely sold out.
These are brilliant work bit Saul Bass inspired I’d say but none the less some quality work. I’m a graphic designer so stuff like this gets me all excited anyway but I ‘m really hoping you get a positive responce Dunc!
These are great. He totally should have won Project Runway.
