For the uninformed, McFarlane's POP Culture Masterworks are 3-D sculpted representations of famous album covers (and, coming soon, movie posters). They have holes on the back for hanging and a retractable easel for desktop display.
I picked up the first 2 today: Led Zeppelin I and Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (orange/green US version). There's also an international version of the former, in yellow and pink.
They're both nifty-sweet. (Led Zep moreso than the Pistols, only because of the amount of sheer effort put into it).
The next 2 album covers are Master of Puppets (due out this month) and Are You Experienced (due out next month). Later in the year the line expands to movie posters, starting with Jaws, Friday the 13th, and Nightmare on Elm Street.
So, anyone else collect these? Anyone meaning to start? And, just to keep this topical, what other album covers/movie posters would you like to see in the line (pix plz)?

I have been looking for them all over and can't seem to find them.
I know it isn't out yet, but I REALLY want the JAWS poster, as it is one of my favorite movies.

If you still have a Suncoast, check there. If not, you can buy both versions of Never Mind the Bollocks (and subsequent future releases) at Spawn.com. Sadly, they're sold out of LZI...check eBay for that bad boy. |

Anyway, back to my topical question... Album covers I'd like to see:    And, even though we'll NEVER see it in a million years...  |

I've seen them, but so far I'm not that interested. A local TRU has the Zepplin one for about $5 and I still didn't buy it. Waiting for the movie ones.

I'm waiting to find the Led Zeppelin one on clearance. I just can't justify spending $15 or more on it.

Doing Sgt. Pepper would be too much of a headache to attain the rights to all the likenesses.
Or would they have to?

If they made a Sgt. Pepper cover, i'd glady blow a load on Todd McFarlane's chest.....  |

I'd be more interested in the movie ones. Jaws looks pretty sweet

Just a little update: today I picked up the UK version of Never Mind the Bollocks (the yellow & pink one). Now I'm on the lookout for Master of Puppets. Hmm...Spencer's, you say? Whens the GNR one coming out? There's no GNR one planned, to my knowledge, although Appetite for Destruction would be a good choice. |

I'm almost certain that when the masterworks were originally announced GNR's Appetite cover was on of the 1st series with Zeppelin
