Anyone have info on this Star Trek 3: The Search For Spock poster?

Hey - I've posted this on a couple places but haven't had much success. I'm hoping someone here may know a little bit about where this Star Trek III The Search For Spock poster came from?

I can't find a match online anywhere - checked Google images, ebay, amazon and some other websites.

It is copyright 1984 at the bottom. Sorry for the glare. Measures 16" x 24" and was rolled, not folded.

Never seen that one before, sorry.

 

Never saw that poster before, but it looks cool

 

Hm.....

As far as movie posters go, it's very odd one. All it does is show a starship, just sitting there. And not even a ship we ever saw before. I don't think this is an advertisement poster as you would see in cinema's, but more a piece of merchandise.

 

Plus there are no credits or release date on it. I wonder if it is some kind of promotional material from either a restaurant or retailer?

 

That's a great thought. Taco Bell did promotional drinking glasses for III. I bet they did that poster too.

 

On the bottom of the poster it says:

Copyright 1984 Paramount Pictures Corporation under exclusive license to Lando Merchandising Inc. All rights reserved. Star Trek is a trademark of Paramount Pictures corporation registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

 

Excellent sleuthing!

 

There's something familiar about these. I think I may have gotten something similar once, perhaps as some sort of giveaway at a theater. I can't swear to that, though.

 

there were a few promotional TMP posters that were given out at supermarkets (in UK) in the early 80s. I had a few of them back then. These look to be similar so maybe they were given out in UK or US stores?

 

This is a promotional poster. I found a similar one on eBay here. I remember the flyer for the poster I linked to, but I don't remember the rest of the images. I'm relying on a 31 year old memory here, but I seem to remember this was a promotion with a tissue company here in the US. I'm thinking Scott brand, but please do not take this as gospel. If I could find the flyer on-line that would help, but so far the best I've been able to find is that poster on eBay, which I remember being advertised.

that image of Kirk with his hand out to Kruge would've looked great on the movie poster like a Drew struzan thing - as would the crew on the mountain looking up. didn't really care too much for the III movie posters

 

Yeah, I agree. I'm pretty sure I had them as well.

Zero recollection from where they came, however; I have the vague feeling they were some kind of promotional item - possibly something like a mail-away offer if you sent in four proofs-of-purchase from breakfast cereal.

 

also a CD of various tunes from the movies

 

^They didn't have CDs when TMP came out -- they first hit the market two or three years later. But the vinyl LP of the TMP soundtrack was a big seller. I still have my original copy, which I listened to religiously in my teens. It came with a record sleeve printed with photos from the film, including an array of photos of the various background aliens barely glimpsed in the movie.

 

Khan 2.0 likely means Star Trek: The Astral Symphony which had selections from the first five films. Released in 1991. First Trek CD I bought. I still own it, I believe.
