The Struzan print has been available for quite some time, he is a god in the poster community but ultimately its probably the high price of $500 that is keeping it from selling out, but they only made about 100 I believe, perhaps they have not done a very good job of marketing that specific print. I know Bradstreet, super nice guy, and insanely talented too.

You Meant AMC, right?

I forgot, you work in the industry don't you?

In the poster industry in a somewhat limited capacity. I meant the recently Walking Dead signed prints, I was on a mailing list for a company that formed this recent company offering the WD signed prints (not the AMC ones) and they told everyone about them, when they would go on sale, price, etc. My guess is they are planning on doing more, but probably wanted to see how these first ones sold. They have not sold out and its been over a week, so maybe they should go for a smaller print run on the standards. I was pretty surprised they had 400 of them, they should have started off lower, say 250 and if they sold out really fast they would have known to increase the production a little. Talented artist, but also I don't think word had spread enough about them originally which creates a buzz beforehand.

Yep JC Richard done it http://microcosmicmedia.blogspot.com/ and it looks like it will be given away free at select IMAX midnight showings in poster form. I hope Mondo releases a screen print version sometime but i imagine it would take a ton of screens to print it no doubt even higher than Frankenstein. After seeing this it makes me wonder what he could do with a Star Wars print.

I know Nicotero has worked on other horror movies and was curious to see what else he's done. Checked out his imdb page. Wow!

For those of you in, or around the southern California area, next month at Wondercon in Anaheim, Mondo will have a booth and they are known to usually offer exclusive prints at conventions like this that they don't offer via their website so my guess is you will see a Mondo announcement soon perhaps outlining what they will be offering. Of course there is a chance they won't be offering anything but that seems unlikely.

Wondercon is generally held in San Francisco, and last year's show had 48,000 people attend for the 3-day show. This year is has moved to Anaheim across from Disneyland, and is put on by the same company that puts on the San Diego Comic-Con.

It seems like the move to Anaheim may be a good thing because I guess SDCC tickets sell out very fast and it upsets a lot of people, so this will be a way for people to experience a big convention without having to worry about tickets selling out, unsure if Wondercon tickets do, but if Mondo is to offer prints, my guess is they will have random offerings throughout the day, perhaps sending out via Twitter, etc. I believe that is what they did at SDCC last year.

Yes but I believe they offered other prints for other films as well. I think the wood variant Ansin Dracula was offered initially at SDCC too. I know Mondo doesn't ship the metal variants which are for only a few films and I dont think they like to ship the wood ones either.
