Anyway, this thread is both a place to discuss the poster's excellence and a platform for me to request a better/higher res version of it, if anyone has the means to upload one.

I came across this apparently seldom-used poster art for OHMSS just a few minutes ago, and I'm struck by how absolutely cool it is. I'm also stunned that after 20+ years of Bond fandom, I've never seen this poster until now.

I've known about this one all along, but yes, it is a fantastic poster.

It's quite clever in that the poster is almost trying to hide the fact that there's a new actor playing Bond.

I love this poster. One of the best portraits I've seen of Lazenby.

I think, by and large, the Japanese posters are always far superior to the US and European versions, especially for the Connery and Moores. Later on, by Dalton's time, they seemed to have just used the same artwork as the US/Euro and just change the language.

Actually, this particular poster appears on the back of issue #32 of THE JAMES BOND CAR COLLECTION I received today along with #33.

That's odd. 
It was working when I put it up.

Makes me laugh. Like all japanese adds and posters.
Take for example the TV spot for the Goldeneye Game: http://au.youtube.co...h?v=4ZACEpo_NXc
