I'd say it's pretty thick. Every Ross paper print I've purchased has always shipped flat.

I'll definitely compare it to the Ross SS prints once they arrive today.

I have a feeling SS is floating this new Flash print to gauge interest in the character. I think they want to know if there's real interest before investing the time/money in developing a PF. They have internal sales data they can use to project the ratio of print to PF sales for other characters, and they can use that to extrapolate the # of potential Flash PF sales... just my random thoughts on a slow Monday LOL!!!

Compared to screen prints or the Sideshow normal Giclee prints the Ross lithograph paper is very thin. The thinnest paper I've ever got from Sideshow and I collect a lot of their art. I have several other Lithographs from Dark Ink and others and this lithograph paper is on par with most all lithographs, it's just thinner paper, like regular movie poster paper.

Their standard print paper is very thick (at least in my unprofessional opinion).

I agree.

My point is for the money of these beautiful Ross prints, I just wish they were on thicker paper. I ordered the frame version too, so not a huge deal to me. You just have to be extra careful with the rolled paper.

I would guess Sideshow knows there is a huge demand for a Flash PF. People are bugging them all the time about when one will be released.

I have no interest in the costume used for that print.

I just dont see that being the case at all. Flash is a very popular character, has a very successful TV show, and people on these boards have been clamouring for a Flash PF for a LONG time now, not just because people like Flash but also becasue there are people that want to complete the original 7 Justice League. So I don't think the print release has anything to do with that. As I have said all along, I think they are waiting for the movie to announce thier Fash PF, to take advnatge of all the movie hype. IMO the decision to mke a Flash premium format was already decided a long ways back.

Hell yeah it's thin.

Jesus, the Ross Giclees on paper (the ones I posted above) blow these things out of the water. Now I know why they were cheap when compared to the normal Ross prints.

Lithograph.... that damn word should have been the huge red flag to me.
