From their website:
Mondo creates limited edition screen printed posters for our favorite classic and contemporary films, in addition to vinyl movie soundtracks, VHS re-issues, and apparel. We also have a permanent gallery space in Austin, TX featuring a mix of original artwork and limited edition screen prints.
Right now, I own four Mondo posters including Drive, The Cabin In The Woods, Iron Man, and Captain America. Soon, I will also own a Dark Knight Rises poster, which I ordered about 10 minutes ago, 5 hours after it was up online. It will be available for 24 hours on Wednesday, July 18 2012. Go here if you want to purchase it:

The thing about Mondo is that they release posters in limited prints. Once they go online, the posters go FAST. Depending on what it is, they could sell out within minutes. Add to the fact that they go up at a random time, things get really hectic. You spend time refreshing the page hoping for the poster to pop up in their store. Once it does, the website starts lagging because there are thousands of other people trying to get that same item at the same time. If you manage to score a poster, congratulations. If you don't, you can always buy it on eBay where people usually sell it for absurd amount of prices. Mondo posters cost about $45 but when it's on a secondary market, the prices climb up to $300 immediately. Depending on what kind of print and edition, it may go even higher. I believe Tyler Stout's "The Thing" was sold for around $2,000 on eBay. That's a lot of profit.
As an alternative to official one sheet movie posters, Mondo is a great way to discover new movies and artwork to hang on your wall.
