Is that the regular B1 sized poster? If so, how much did the frame cost?

The posters I have are larger than B1 format by a few centimetres each way - 75cm x 105cm approx. to be safe - and thus the frames I want have to be custom made. £55 per frame ;_;

Have you framed your Ibara poster yet Icarus?

I was in fact looking for this very poster by chance earlier today. Nice, undamned.

Unfortunately, both Ibara and Great Mahou posters are still awaiting frames. A local shop sells B1-sized clipframes, but on closer inspection, the posters themselves are a few centimetres bigger than the frame they are selling, and I don't fancy the idea of trimming the posters.

(I actually bought three 70x100 frames thinking that they'd fit, but now I have 3x frames that are so big I have very few prints that'll fit them -_-)

I found an online frameshop that makes custom sizes, but to fit the posters, the frames will have to be around 75cm x 105cm (a couple of extra cm for leeway), and will cost around £55 each. I haven't ordered yet, as I'm a little skint at the moment -_-;;

Have you framed yours yet? Did you purchase a frame, or make it yourself? Got pics? ^_^

Nah I sold it. I needed the money to buy some pcbs. There's a guy I know in Edinburgh, who's giving me another one (for a small price) in a few weeks though, so I knew what I was doing.

I don't know what the dim. of B1 is, but I paid about what you were quoted. I have a friend who works at a high end gallery in Scottsdale (an upper-class area near Phoenix) and he got me a smoking deal, considering that the work is professional and the materials are top. He told me not to even ask what it would cost one of their customers

700 JPY ~ Nothing.

Ahh, great, at least I know that the price I was quoted isn't too extortionate, especially for something of this size. Lucky for you to have a good friend in a gallery who can cut you a deal ^_^

Thanks for the reply! (Time to go shopping.)

Hey UD,

Nice Mars Matrix poster you got there with matching red custom frame.

Yes, I know all about getting odd sized shmup posters custom framed: paid $178.00 USD for a custom framed Working Designs/Taito PSX Raystorm (and worth every penny too!). ^_~

You got a very good deal by having a friend custom frame that sexy MM poster indeed (at a bargin price, of course)!

It's not quite the original arcade version poster, but Icarus is now a very happy bunny.

Got a Soukyugurentai PS2 poster coming with it. All I need to do now is to find the rest of the arcade version posters - Mahou, Shippu Mahou, Batrider, Bakraid, Brave Blade... >_<;;

Holy shit, I didn't realize that UD's MM poster was the Japanese Capcom CPS2 version...some of that same featured artwork was featured on the USA DC revision of MM (but the print describing the MM fightercraft technology was microscopic -- time to break out that microscope to try to read it...where is it, my dear?)... ^_~

-- A Capcom produced Mars Matrix 'Ka' fightercraft transformable toy?... --

A really cool transformable toy (or model kit would suffice) for Capcom Co., Ltd. (or licensed 3rd-party Japanese toy manufaturer such as Kaiyado, Bandai, etc.) to produce would be either the Ka-1, Ka-2 or even the third colored variant, Ka-3 fightercraft...after watching the kick-ass transformations of both fightercraft on the DC revision of MM. Don't you agree?

(It would be a very good idea to be constructed with both high quality ABS plastic + die-cast metal parts for that world-famous Japanese super-detailing workmanship that they are known for...) -- the real question is how much would it sell for at MSRP yen-wise? And would you buy one or all three Mars Matrix Ka fightercraft toys? (They would have to be produced in limited numbers to hold their re-sale value and collectibility purposes, of course...) ^_~

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If one realizes when playing a gaming session of MM either on the original CPS2 hardware or the DC revision release, that they are playing with Earth-based prototype fightercraft sent down to Mars to quell down a rebellion...the Ka fightercraft aren't based on the fightercraft technology currently used on Mars but a wholly different set of the latest experimental technology for the sole use by the Earth Defense Force (or 'EDF' in shortened form)..... ^_~

Could another Mars rebellion be in the works resulting in new Mars Matrix 2 arcade shmup sequel?

I want to get the poster that came with my Espgaluda 2 kit framed but the it would be astronomically expensive considering the size of it. I've got a bunch of stuff that needs frames. Princess Mononoke movie poster, Under Defeat, Samurai Shodown V and last, but not least, Guinness posters.

If paying $178.00+ USD for a custom framed Playstation Working Designs/Taito Raystorm poster isn't too much, what is? (I wasn't willing to trim it down so that it would fit into a standard 24" x 36" do-it-yourself picture frame as this particular Raystorm poster has some extra details that would be lost if done so.) That's how much I paid for such a custom frame job and it was worth it -- still hangs on my bedroom wall for all to admire... ^_~

So yes, bite the bullet & pay through the nose, you won't regret doing so... ^_~

It's really nice to see your favorite shmup (or other genre for that matter) posters professionally framed...gives your room that special unique touch indeed..... ^_~

BTW, I do have a spare and new condition rare PSX Taito/Working Designs Raystorm poster for sale if anyone wants it...just PM me. Tis a shame that Working Designs is no more thanks to SCEA. (And that means no future PS3 or even PS2 game titles from WD either...) ^_~
