Yeah on the sideshow site you can see which ones have sold out, and I see only three have sold out on their site and basically the big iconic moments. Even the rest that are like limited edition 50 or so stay on the website for months. Like others have said, I dont see people being able to sell this again after buying it.

If i want a picture like this i make a photo from TV, a little Photoshop and ready to print.
And if I don't like it anymore I'll make another one
I get that. Then there's level of print quality. There is home printer standard, then there's high end pro printing. Not to mention source material. Printing out a .jpg is never going to look all that great.

Ok, quality costs money but i think a good printshop delivers the quality you want for less money.
And .jpg is a good format. Every picture agency accepts .jpg

But you are a high-end collector and if you want to collect that then I say: "happy collecting"

Many print shops won’t print copyrighted images.

So it's good that we have sideshow after all

I came across an image (photo) taken somewhere in Cuba. Using Goggle i reverse searched the image (to obtain the highest resolution available without having access to the original photo).

I spotted a company located in Germany offering to print images to canvas, with the canvas wrapped around a wooden frame (4cm x 4cm wood). They had a 50% off sale, so i gave them a go.

Within 2 weeks the picture shipped from Germany to UK (free shipping) and the total cost was around £50 (US $60)
The image size 100cm x 75cm. The quality looks great. I doubt they were bothered by copyright.

I would later use the same company to create some backdrop's for my Gentle Giant Sucker Punch Statues. As there was no way i could print the size required using a standard home printer.

What i did was, create an image using Photoshop, and repeat the image 4 times onto the same canvas, leaving enough black space around the edges, so that i could divide the canvas up, and wrap it around 4 separate frames.

I guess the company doing the printing wondered what the hell they were printing, as why would anyone want 4 images all identical on a single canvas?

The results turned out ok. The quality/resolution could have been better. At the time i had no way of snapshoting from Blu-ray. I was limited to using a DVD snapshot. Positioned behind the statues, the effect worled well enough.

I figured the dressing room scene with rough texture wall covered in vintage
posters might work well. I wanted something that was flat. After some
searching through the movie, discovered a moment to snapshot.


The size of the image was limited by space (obviously).
The scale of the image was achieved by comparing the 3 chairs to the size of the statue.

Online print shops don't seem to care.

That much is true. I have a gorgeous Breath if the Wild canvas that I had printed and shipped for $50.

I should have specified “local” print shops.
