Norrin_Radd Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 P.S.: I have no idea about the market and availability of Hong Kong posters. I would imagine that the highly desirable stuff would be Bruce Lee (of course) and Shaw Brothers material. I think you've just screwed me into a grail hunt for this: Reminds me of this movie. Haven't seen it in 20 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicwiz Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Goalie masks. If I have some time, I'll photograph the Spidey masks I've got (3 versions). I've recently taken up buying vintage goalie masks, and acquired these two: I gotta see the spidey masks...I play dek and I was gonna paint my mask up like venom.....eyes near the crown, teeth around the facemask, just gotta get the supplies..... Here they are -- click the images for a larger view: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_react Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's got the same director (The Shaw Brother's mad genius Chang Cheh) and practically the same cast. Five Element Ninja is the better film, for my money (and I've given that question more thought than probably 99.9999% of the world's population) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_not_so_nice Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I collect comic art and some comic-related statues, but my wife and I try to collect a piece of art from every country we visit (all sorts of stuff, statues, paintings, mixed media, just whatever strikes our fancy that is representative of the region we visited). In addition, we have been working on some Mexican Folk Art, such as the Alibrejes by the Linares family of Oaxaca. These are wildly imaginative papier mache pieces featuring bizarre creatures. We have several and hope to get more. The thing is, they are not particularly easy to display, because they are just plain bizarre. But we figure, so are we, so what the heck.... My wife has been collecting/Dealing in MEXICAN FOLK ART for about 15 years now ( www.siestalane.com ) Me, I like any kind of tortoise and hope to get an Aldabra or Galapagos one day. But for now I have these guys, Sulcatas musicmeta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well, not so much "collect". I really don't collect things anymore. But I DO like to have a pleasant living environment, and the challenge of creating one in a small space (San Francsico "Studio +" - the "+" being a 6x9 walk in closet, is compelling. I dislike the Vistorian concept of clutter. I love creating small areas of "display" that are both functional and beautiful. To this end I have combined three cultures: Japanese furntiure and art, African art and Indian (as in India) musical instruments and art. The Japanese manifests itself in four Tansus and a lacquered Merchant Chest, one scroll, an iron hibachi, four original woodblocks and some vases and sundries. The African manifests itself in six masks, one Congo currency knife, a ceremonial spoon, and a "box". The Indian is reflected by Ragamala paintings (pictorial representations of the Ragas I play on the sitar and surbahar (a bass sitar)) and the instruments themsleves, which are beautiful works of art. I guess you could say, if you want to usew the term "collect", that I collect "spaces". I love combining the various cultures into small, independent areas of display, each being both functional and aesthetically appealing. I am finishing off my small dining area and then will post some photos to give an idea. it is a wonderful thing to try to create a place to live that, no matter where you look, there is beauty and calm.

Wrightson fan Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Out of Kurosawa's films, my favorite would be a Seven Samurai poster, but it's the favorite of many, so I'll abstain. I like Yojimbo because of what it spawned in Japanese cinema in the years that followed. If I were to choose based on the films themselves, without the extra reference, I'd likely agree with you. Either that or Ran. Ran is my favorite Kurosawa film and I have a type B original copy of the 1985 Japanese release. It is rolled up, not folded and I have never had it framed, therefore no pic as of yet. I bought it about 10 years ago. It is rather small at 20"by29", but it is beautiful. Can't say enough about Kurosawa. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Indian Guitar. Well, considering it is rooted in a musical tradition that goes back over 3000 years? I would say a guitar is an "American sitar". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightson fan Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I also collect these. This is from a previous thread. My stuff is towards the bottom. Scott http://boards.collectors-society.com/sho...rue#Post1299538 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well, that guy is pretty cute. Have you been to the Galapagos? If not, I highly recommend a trip. Seeing the various tortoises and the differences in the way each species on each island evolved and adapted to its environment is absolutely amazing. Here's a pic with one of the dudes: My wife has been collecting/Dealing in MEXICAN FOLK ART for about 15 years now ( www.siestalane.com ) Me, I like any kind of tortoise and hope to get an Aldabra or Galapagos one day.

I've been focusing, for the most part, on commissions/covers/splashes/pin-ups (i.e., non-panel pages) featuring my favorite female characters, including Vampirella, Elektra, Red Sonja and Gwen Stacy, among others. Despite picking up this new collecting hobby, I'm hoping to spend less time on all of my collecting pursuits going forward...as fun as it is, I get a lot more pleasure out of doing and experiencing things than simply accumulating stuff and writing about it on message boards .
