Star Wars CENSORED-WITHDRAW ☆ Coca-Cola COBOT Movie Poster Promotional DISPLAY!!
*****
1000X RARER THAN THE MOVIE POSTER 1-SHEETS!!
Offered here is one of the most interesting cross-over collectibles related to Star Wars - An original COBOT, or Coca-Cola Robot Promotional Movie Poster! This is one of the most notable Star Wars rip-offs in the film's history. Coca-Cola took the liberty of stealing the R2D2 robot design and repackaging it for their advertising and merchandising purposes. The Coca-Cola Company even issued a toy robot for purchase. It was sold under the name Cobot. This very rare poster was issued to advertise the Cobot (a.k.a. Coke Bot) to a more than Star Wars hungry country. Actually, this campaign went worldwide. When Lucas got wind of it, he was said to have had a hissy-fit! Immediately, his bank of lawyers went to work to stop it! Subsequently, the Coca-Cola Company withdrew the toys from the market and surrendered this campaign for good, making the posters rare to find. It's among the rarest of the early Star Wars related posters out there, and, certainly a stellar Coca Cola collectible as well. Not many were ever distributed and only a handful has survived. These are much rarer than the movie theater posters. They're rarer by about a margin of about 10,000 to ONE! This is a chance to own a real time capsule for any advanced Coca-Cola or Star Wars collection.
SIZE AND CONDITION:
This poster was issued 17.75x22.75 inches. The poster was designed and printed WITHOUT a white border. They call that a full "Bleed" in the advertising industry. It makes it much harder to handle a poster if it's a full Bleed, and so I had this poster museum linen-mounted to protect it and to make it easy to frame. Before I had it mounted it was in sold NearMINT ROLLED-NEVER FOLDED CONDITION!! It only had a cou ple of dings and such. I used the best conservator in the USA. He ONLY uses high-grade materials, such as thicker linen and thicker acid-free Japanese rice paper. The better materials cost more but make a real difference in the end result. It's flat as a pancake and as clean as can be. I've posted direct high-resolution scans of the ACTUAL poster you'll be getting here on eBay so you can see just how terrific this baby truly is!
LINEN-MOUNTING: is an accepted form of poster preservation by the Library of Congress and every museum in the country. Except for one or two, every one of the top twenty $100,000.00 and up most expensive selling movie posters were all linen-mounted. A lot of advanced poster buyers request and prefer linen-mounted posters because it makes framing and displaying the posters much easier - ESPECIALLY on borderless posters. As I pointed out, this poster was made w ithout a white border. The white you see in the photo is the white of the Japanese paper lining the linen border margin. You can see how easy it would be to damage the original poster without that extra margin of protection. The backing makes the poster much safer to handle - it GREATLY reduces the risk of damaging the original. Also, all of my linen-backed posters have been stored FLAT so they DO NOT have a curl to them - They're ready for framing and display!
If you are looking for an investment/museum quality items , look no further. Keep in mind , right NOW "Star Wars: Rogue One" is in release. This film has caused quite the buzz around the globe. Hollywood hasn't seen anything like it since the original Star Wars hit back in 1977, with Hollywood Blvd being shut-down for an opening celebration with a life-sized X-Wing in the center of the Blvd. Disney also has announced that it will be releasing another big-screen MAJOR motion picture feature on Star Wars every year henceforth - in the cinemas! That's unprecedented for any movie franchise. If that's not enough, additionally, they're constructing the TWO (2) world record largest theme parks ever built, and both are going to be 100% dedicated to Star Wars! When that happens, this poster will inevitably be a HOT PROPERTY. Let's face it, it's red hot now, but it will undoubtedly become a white - hot mamma when we round that bend. So pick it up now while it's still obtainable.
The poster will be shipped professionally in a crush-proof to prevent any chance of damage in shipping
