Which Cave poster is worth framing?

Post by Monstermug »

I'm limited to only 3 frames. (not enough wall space) Was thinking Ibara kuro, DDP DOJ BL and DDP DFK BL. Hard choice to make as some of the others are really sexy.

Not sure if I am making the right decision. Once these three are framed, that's how it's going to stay as I really hate handling posters. It seems every time I touch them something gets creased!

Your opinions will be appreciated.

my choices would maybe be uh... DOJ Black definitely, Esprade definitely, Kuro maybe?

Of course, you could also do the world a favor and make some high quality scans >_>

Personally If I owned them all and could only frame 3 my wall would be

Pink Sweets --- Ibara kuro --- DOJ BL

I wouldn't hang any Cave poster. But a CAVE poster on the other hand, then I'd hang DOJ BL for sure.

Depends on the kind of company you keep, and who comes to your house. Kids, family, and normal females? Stick with DDP, Feveron, or something else without characters. Chubby neck beards that pepper their speech with words like "baka" and "cho kawaii", feel free to go with Ibara or SDOJ.

My wife banned the Reco figure I had on top of my Egret II ages ago. Said that if she ever sees it again, its going to turn up "missing"... :? Anyone want a boxed Reco figure?

I was in the study with the candlestick.

You frame Vanilla DOJ, it's more aesthetically pleasing on the wall than BL. I also vote Esprade and Progear, but you don't have a Progear so just go for DFK BL.

Ha ha. The neckbeard thing always makes me laugh.

Any tips on where I could find a Progear poster?

lemme rant realquick, I took a scan of an Esp. Rade poster on a usb stick to a printing shop. Took them a week to make into a poster for me, after a month the damn thing has faded so much it's all a faded greenish colour. ¬_¬

Impossible to say. YHJ is your best bet, but I don't think they turn up often. You may have to wait years. Between £300-£400 rough guesstimate, maybe only £150 for a folded.

I have Ibara, Futari (screenshot free version), Darius, and the Vice/Mature NeoGeo one frame and in the entrance hallway to our flat.

Dunno - pick the ones for games you really love? Not a huge fan of Darius really but the poster is wonderful, so this may not be worthwhile advice.

Not sure if I would be in the minority or majority here but I absolutely love the posters with screenshots.
For cave I guess that's Ibara, kuro, ketsui, DOJ , DOJ BL, Mushi, Futari, espgaluda, & DFK BL?
Anyways, surprised no one has said to frame that monster espgaluda II door sized poster :lol:

I thought about that one, but I think a long frame would look odd. Maybe it's because I have a long mirror and it would remind me of thatX :p

Damn it! Then again I doubt I'd be willing to pay too much money for a figurine since I'm not that much of a weeb.
Also I'd have to agree with Rancor and say make a decision based on who's going to end up seeing the posters when they walk in.

DKF BL is a pretty excellent poster. I remember seeing Skykid's framed one in one of his pics and it gave me a special feeling.

Here's my wall of fake CAVE posters (Thanks to rancor's site and shortrunposters.com)

One of my girlfriend's friends one time said "wow. you like a lot of Japanese crap."
But most of the time no one visits so I don't care.

Hang whatever makes you happy.
