Just a quick reminder – Acid Free Gallery will be in attendance at Wizard World Philly this weekend (booth 555), and with them will be several new prints. They will have the previously seen Soundwave print with a limited edition variant, a Dinobots print, along with a new Starscream and Screamer variant. Previous prints will be available as well.
We hit up WW Philly on Thursday and checked them out, take a look at pics from their booth. The Soundwave print is 24×36, so it really has a presence when seen in person. Check them out after the jump!

I would go pick one up for myself but the prices on these posters is higher than what I'm willing to pay for art.

Funny how some of the greatest TF artists of all time, who got robbed by "official" companies (Fleer, 88MPH, 3H Enterprises, Dreamwave), are now forgotten or almost begging for TF work, while Hasblow give these guys a license and a "fine art" status.
I rather commission Don or Guido for some fanart.

Easy, Grimlock was made as a full grown space t-rex while any non-scale Dinobots were made as younger space robot dinosaurs. Easy

That Starscream poster looks awesome, but these issues would just drive me nuts everytime I looked at it.
Free floating null rays and the mysteriously disappearing hip kibble is a complete headscratcher.
Edit: And what's with his shins pointing outward and crazy small wings in front facing view?

Where are the pterosaurs?

Nah, if they were scaled to "real life" Grimlock would not be so large (refer to the super-accurate scale chart):
DPrime
I don't mind that (I think they're more "real life" scale that way), but there seems to be a lot of unused space, with regard to the overall composition of the piece.
These are fine as con souvenirs, though.

I'm with you on that, I'm not a fan of these styles. I don't like the coloring, artwork, or general "busy-ness" of the prints. I'm pleased with just about anything G1, so I'm glad these are out there, but they are not my cup of tea.

These look shitty.

My criticism of the Dinobots poster:
1) Grimlock's alt-mode is disproportionately large compared to the rest of the dinobots, which
2) causes Swoop to be out of place amongst the rest of them. (If anything, Grimlock should've been placed further back in the line up and Swoop brought to the front.)

Those look pretty cool.

Funnier than that the artist rightly ommitted the forearm kibble on SS but did not reconnect or move the null rays in. They are just floating beside the arms It doesn't make it look worse but i doubt it was a deliberate.

MP-03 for the Starscream poster, complete with hip kibble? Really? But then the hip kibble disappears in the side view.
I dunno, the Air Show and Car Rally posters were great, but these are just toy still lifes surrounded by super busy graphic design.
Batman
Am I the only one that finds these posters really busy? I find it hard to focus on the character with all this filler floating around them. Sometimes less, is more, a lot more.
DPrime
Not bad, but no Tom Whalen either.
Kind of lame that Phillips used the inaccurate MP-03 mold as his model, too.

My mistake for posting all this in the Soundwave thread already yesterday. I thought all the images were related enough and it would be on the first page of that thread so I posted them all together here: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans…e-art-print-acidfree-gallery.html#post9413904 *le sigh*

Nice, got to check it out that booth when I get there.

Dinobots similar to on this art, so on the Diaсlone Dinosaur-Robo.
