my mini movie collection is got to be stuff for the Wonka film. so I was a massive fan of Charlie and the chocolate factory when I was younger. It essentially became my comfort film when I was feeling down, I would always put on Charlie and the chocolate factory so I remember being really happy and over the moon when I found out they were going to be doing some sort of prequel with the Wonka film. I loved the first time with Charlie the chocolate factory, the marketing was amazing so I made it a mission to sort of see what I could do in terms of getting bits and pieces that I could hold onto would in turn become very valuable.

in the image you’ll be able to see a pair of converse so this is from the Wonka collection and I bought them in the corduroy material. I was back-and-forth about design but essentially ended up with this one because it was something different and I didn’t have it in my wardrobe and now the shoe is worth twice even three times the amount that I bought for it

you will also be able to see a Wonka hat/bucket. So this is a popcorn bucket that I bought when going to see the film and it’s such a cool collectors item so I’ve got this from the odeon cinema. Within the book you’ll also see a tumble over with a straw and at the top of those are all moving pieces and that’s a nod to the film.

finally, you will be able to see a make-up palette in the shape of the golden ticket. So there was a Wonka collaboration revolution the make up brand and I pretty much for every single piece but I’ve also been using all the pieces so this is the only thing that I could find that was still sort of intact but this is my little tiny collection.

Hey there Shovel - great submission, but it looks like you've made it as a reply rather than a bounty entry. We can't award replies, so please copy your entry, hit 'submit to this bounty', and paste it back in. Thanks!

Shovel's avatar

thank you! Really appreciate that!

Hey Shovel, your popcorn hat is way fancier than the tie-in merch we had when I worked in a cinema! 😆

Would you mind sharing the image from a connected social account and resubmit using the purple submit to this bounty button? Check this article for the how and why of connected socials.

We're only able to see submissions made via that button when we award bounties, and using connected socials helps verify it's an original submission.

You'll know it's worked when your submission has a yellow bounty submission tag and the green original tag at the top.

If you have any questions, feel free to tag me (Boomer) or the JA team member that posted the bounty (see top left of the main bounty image).

Shovel's avatar

Thank you so much, really appreciate that. I Unfortunately aren’t on most social media’s but I’ve re submitted now so hopefully I’ve done it correctly!

I have loads of movie posters that I've been collecting over the years but I've only just got around to actually framing them. Here's 4 of my favourites. Absolutely love these movies. Blade Runner and 2049? Well you don't get much better than these. The Matrix? I think that one's obvious. It changed the industry. Watchmen? In my opinion it's the single greatest superhero (antihero? anti-superhero?) movie ever made. Zack Snyder's vibe was perfect for the story. The Watchmen show, while very different in tone, was also very good. I'm going to be hanging these on my wall soon and then I'll get back to framing more!

Alex Sinclair's avatar

These are four great choices and very worthy of being hung on the wall. As for The Watchmen series, I thought it was excellent! I was unsure for the first half of it, but it all came together brilliantly for the last couple of episodes.

Gav I've just noticed that your image isn't social media verified. Can I point you towards this:

https://justabout.com/just-about/connecting-your-social-accounts-and-sharing-on-just-about

We can't award image and video bounty submissions unless the media has been verified via socials. If you can do this before the bounty ends in five days, you're still very much eligible for a prize. If you run into any issues, just let me know.

Gav's avatar

I do have all my socials linked to my Just About account. Would you rather I post the image on X then paste that in here?

Alex Sinclair's avatar

That would be perfect. No need to repost, just do the above and then edit it into your post. Thanks!

Oooh I love movies! I have to be careful with the pop figures because I will spend everything on them! My collection of movie merch is vast and sprinkled throughout my home. My movie collection itself (yes I still even have vhs) is packed away unfortunately to save space. But that just means more space for the merch right?!

I can't seem to get the embed to work, my Instagram is connected. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, technology and I are not the best of friends lol.

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Technology and I have had some unpleasant run ins of our own! 😅

I think the issue here is that your Instagram is set to private, which is a totally understandable choice, but it does mean that we can't see it and so can't use it to verify the image. Do you perhaps have a public Twitter account that you could use instead?

MadamClutter's avatar

Ohhhhh Thank you! lol I set my profile to public. Maybe that's why I don't get much reach on Instagram lmao. Thank you for the prompt help!

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Aha! Well in that case, happy to help!

Makster's avatar

Love that you're repping The Princess Bride - the autobiography and a little Ingo too. I was late to watching the film but thankfully my university fencing team basically had that flick memorised and urged me to watch it. Suffice to say, when we were trying to recruit freshers in the new year, I was able to take part in re-creating the fight between Ingo and the Man in Black across the University Square

MadamClutter's avatar

Oh that is awesome! Such an iconic scene (the movie is filled with them!). Knowing how much the cast loved the movie and got along makes it all the better. I even did the "mawwiage" speech for my sister's wedding 😆

It's coming up to lunchtime where I am and the description of Miracle Max's MLT is making my mouth water. Gotta have those perky tomatos

Most of my merchandise collection is related to video games, but I also have a very cute figure from Uglydolls (2019). I'm not sure why, but kids are especially drawn to it and asked me to keep it on display.

Howdy Gaypengwing! Two things:

Firstly, wow. Secondly, have you connected your Twitter? We'll need you to do that for you to be eligible for image-based bounties. If you run into any issues, just let me know

Boomer's avatar

Gaypengwing Alex Sinclair - unfortunately this happens because of the move from Twitter to X. If you replace X with Twitter in the URL then it should embed properly.

Gaypengwing's avatar

It says it connected? Let me know if it’s not showing

Boomer's avatar

Hey Gaypengwing, yeah it's connected just fine 🙂

The issue was caused by the swap from Twitter to X, as links from X.com don't seem to embed properly for some reason.

I don't remember where I saw it, but a member mentioned that sharing from Android creates a Twitter.com link and iPhone creates X.com ones.

The good news it you can edit posts and replace X.com with Twitter.com (keep the rest of the URL exactly the same) then it embeds properly 🙂

Here is our very tiny DVD collection with my partner:

https://twitter.com/LanahTyra/status/1789271114318840259

If you check the Xitter post you can expand the images and see the Matrix box set hiding there in the corner and some concert DVDs on the other side. Also that SW one was so hard to find. They never released the '97 version on DVD just on VHS and that had such cool visual effect changes but without changing scenes like replacing Darth Vader's face with Hayden Christensen (have nothing against the guy, he did great in the prequels but I found this move disrespectful and unnecessary.) So this boxset is like something in between the original and the '97 edit which they released apparently without telling Lucas and he was not happy about it.

Really wanted to enter this, but all my stuff is at my mums due to our housing situation lol.

Sadly I cannot show you my Blu-Ray collection as they are currently in storage. Although it is a little underwhelming being only Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Evil Dead: Groovy Collection.

However I do have something a little unique which is Chirashi - Japanese mini-posters/ flyers. Apart from the cool factor of having their name in Japanese, I really do like the unique poster designs as well. It also helps that there are posters for anime movies that don't really get a lot of coverage in the west such as the Persona 3 anime movies.

The round things out I got a couple of artbooks related to anime movies: Persona 3 (obviously), Summer Wars, and The Art of Makoto Shinkai (Your Name, Weathering with You, Suzume).

This is my Horror Wall. Some of my favorite films/actors are represented here, like Elvira, The Thing, Aliens, Jaws, and several more (as well as a Resident Evil tin poster in the bottom right and my favorite horror comic on the top left).

You may notice something unfamiliar in the center

Well, that’s a sick AF dragon my best friend’s 11 year old daughter painted for me. Not from a movie, but it SHOULD be.

Did you ever see these? I feel the dragon would make a great one!

Don't forget to verify your images ✌️

Horror and Cats's avatar

Oh my god the lion. That tools years off my life.

Okay all verified. The images are still in the post, but you can see the at the link I provided if that’s fine.

The a link to the page is okay if the images are already embedded right? I don’t have to scrap the whole entry and only do embedded and expanded posts?

Okay, I found some! The rest is in storage at this point.

We've had a good number of entries here with images that are either unverified or not properly verified (linking out to social media accounts that aren't connected to JA). In this case, we decided to make an exception to our rules and award each of you a prize. However, those rules are in place for good reasons, and we will need to be stricter about this moving forward. We don't like to do it, but that will mean rejecting otherwise great bounty submissions if the media isn't properly verified with the 'Original' banner. To ensure you're not caught out by this, please take a minute now to connect the social media channels you're most likely to submit to bounties with 🙏

https://justabout.com/just-about/connecting-your-social-accounts-and-sharing-on-just-about We're aware that there can be technical issues with this. So if you ever run into any problems, please tag Alex Sinclair or Boomer

TheGreatestBanana12's avatar

I forgot to connect my Instagram account before I submitted so hopefully now that's done it should work next time

EveOnlineTutorials's avatar

That is not fair in my circumstances. I cannot post certain things on the EoT Twitter or Instagram. Which would mean if this is enforced I would not be able to enter bounties

Alex Sinclair's avatar

I understand the frustration, but I'm afraid those are (for now) the rules of the platform, even if it means not all members can enter all bounties. If we ran a TikTok bounty and a member didn't have TikTok, they wouldn't be able to enter the bounty; the same logic applies here. Eventually, we hope to find solutions that will expand the ways that members can verify their media, such as being able to link more than one account for each social media platform. However, we're in Beta, so we don't have all of the solutions right now. In the meantime, I'd suggest choosing the account to link that will allow you to enter the bounties you wish to enter most

Its a double wrap :) The omu is also on insta.

Horror and Cats's avatar

Do my socials not show as linked? The Twitter account should have been for a while now.

Edit: oh you mean don’t just have a link and then put in pictures lol. Fair enough. Now that I know the trick with the URL I won’t have to do that.

D

hey ty so much! It says my account is linked so maybe i did it brfore linking?

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Ace, thank you! That should work from here-on-out, but if the 'Original' banner doesn't appear on future posts, just give me Alex Sinclair or Boomer a tag 😊

this my favourite boxset merchandise! I won it as a prize and i cant thank them enough im so chuffed with it im a big fan
