There are now some autograph pictures and details on the Cryptozoic website.

Interesting, though I suppose mostly expected. I only just noticed this though:

which grabs my attention a bit.

I hope Stephen Fry signs, and would be nice to see Evangeline Lilly and Ian McKellen too, though I have their autographs from elsewhere.

I'm not really collecting these sets (preordered a box of the first one, before it was $100 a box) but I would be interested in an autograph card from Luke Evans. And if they are doing multiple designs, how about landscape to match my Topps LOTR sets

If for some reason you cannot get an Evans signed card. He is a very good signer ttm. He signed my custom "Hobbit" card and recently signed a "Dracula Untold" photo for my son.

Ah excellent, they've updated with a few more since last I checked, including Stephen Fry/Master of Lake-town! More or less the only autograph I was looking for from this

Other new additions seem to be Ken Stott/Balin and Jeffrey Thomas/Thror

Updated.

They've added Stephen Hunter, William Kircher, and Andy Serkis as Second Unit Director (?).

Also, it's criminal that it looks like the boxes will only contain one autograph and nothing else. Again.

that's why this time im not buying boxes only chasing autos after some one else has spent a vast fortune only to lose out selling at a loss. this happened to most who bought boxes last time

Now added Mary and Peggy Nesbitt (individually), James Nesbitt's daughters. Nice touch.

Ditto, vampy. Ditto.

Added Mikael Persbrandt as Teen Wolf.

There are previews of sketch cards by various artists on the blog page of the Cryptozoic website, they are looking great!

Is their a release date yet? It's says Q1 which ended last week.

Thanks!

I'll look forward to never owning one

Sylvester McCoy auto added.

Adam Brown added, with an awful screengrab for a photo.

Martin Freeman added to the list:

love that image! did a psc of it last year

Looks to be an Incredible set...

Manu Bennett also added.

Lots of repeats, but at least it's another shot at Freeman and Armitage.

According to the Cryptozoic website release date is May 13th.
