D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jackstranger on Oct 28, 2010 0:54:24 GMT 1, Email sent to BRP
The print numbers were supposed to be random. It is not possible that this guy have numbers 2 and 3 of the blue edition. and he is not even a collector.

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jdwheeler on Oct 28, 2010 12:46:51 GMT 1, To be fair, if someone can be bothered to wait over night, i would probably let him have a low number.
However, these people who just buy them to put on EBay are really annoying.

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jackstranger on Oct 28, 2010 13:26:44 GMT 1, I don't have any real hate for flippers, but I agree this is annoying. Fans and collectors struggle to get a print and this person claims that BRP promised him low numbers and he is selling the low numbers... I remember jackuzzy post
Just been the Christies. My first time there. Didn't realise how big the place was! Lots of great pieces. The D print is called No More Heroes maybe meaning an end to the superhero prints. They didn't have them to hand out there though. Ships in 2 weeks in random numbers so the first in queue won't even get a low number. Pretty poor but oh well. Print looks great. Glad I got one.

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jackcuzzy on Oct 28, 2010 13:39:06 GMT 1, That's what they said when i was standing in the queue waiting to pay. I remember him not being very happy because he queued up all night to get the single digit prints. They could very well have taken him to one side and agreed to give him low numbers though. I might be wrong but it looked like the same group of people that were standing within the first 10 at the Don't Panic show.
Looking forward to mine arriving but more looking forward to whatever is next as I think we can all agree that there wont be any superheroes involved.

They are the same group of people for sure... ;D He is selling the Panic Now too.
edit: Really wondering what will be next too? Pretty sure D* will give a nice surprise for Xmas.

No other reasons than the previously presented. And because I think it is not good for BRP to be used in an auction like this: 'I WAITED ALL NIGHT TO GET THIS PRINT AND THE PEOPLE AT BLACK RAT PRESS PROMISED ME A LOW NUMBER.'
Edit: If I was them I would not like to see my name associated with these kind of auctions, so why not letting them know what is happening?

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jdwheeler on Oct 28, 2010 18:27:40 GMT 1, The stupid thing is that excess flippers will do themselves damage as if the print starts selling above cost, eBay etc will be flooded causing excess supply.
I for one will be keeping my blue version.
I don't have another DFace, but was quite taken with the impact of the piece having gone to multiplied.
I didn't buy it then, but thought about it for a few days.
I understand that people are bored of the hero theme, but for me this is a really striking image and really stands out on the wall as a strong piece of pop art.
Also makes quite a nice statement about the current state of the USA! In conclusion, what ever the secondary value, people who bought this to keep won't be disappointed.
I am also very impressed with the quality of materials used by DFace and the reasonable price point.
I'm glad most people who seem to genuinely want one managed to get one and I also thought holding some back for our foreign chums was a nice touch.
White box frame and no mount for me!

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jdwheeler on Oct 28, 2010 18:46:38 GMT 1, Glad to hear it!
I think if you look at this image on its own (ie ignore the fact people seem to be bored of the super heros) it is a stunning print and DFace/BRP have done themselves proud.
Nothing worse than forking out for something that disappoints.

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jdwheeler on Oct 28, 2010 18:56:50 GMT 1, Obviously you have seen the image, but I think you will be pleasantly suprised by paper quality a vibrancy of colour.
If you have the right room, definately a piece to put in a prominant position!
By disappointed I mean opening a tune to find a crappy photocopy quality image on poor quality paper!

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by pcant on Oct 28, 2010 18:59:54 GMT 1, Right, got it. I'd been reading some of the "not another superhero" posts and that was where the disappointed bit came from. I had heard the print was quite stunning and the pics don't do it justice, glad to hear that's the case. And I've definitely got a good spot on the wall picked out.

D*Face No More Heroes Superman Print, by jackstranger on Oct 28, 2010 20:25:34 GMT 1, Great post jdwheeler
I haven't see this one in person but having a 'Not so Superman' and a 'Punk Queen' and I can say that no pictures do justice to the colours and quality of these prints.
'No more heroes' is for sure a stunning print in person. I have a full wall for it so it will stand out for sure. Framing is white box , but not sure about mounting or not, or if floating it (depend on the edges).
