FYC DVD & "The Wrap" Magazine
Size: 12 inches (magazine), 5 inches (DVD)
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: The Wrap (2015) (magazine), DWA Awards (2015) (DVD)
At least I nabbed the DVD quickly. It comes in such a beautiful case! The magazine was a great bonus, as it has a good few ads and an article to boot. It also came with a HTTYD-themed envelope that I have finally photographed (two years later). It's a neat case that the seller unfortunately slapped the stamps and shipping info on, which is a shame! Oh well, I paid for the magazine and DVD, which is what I got, so I won't complain!

87th Oscars Program
Size: 8.5 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (2015)
Like all the other Oscar ceremonies, this one had an itinerary book! Sadly, HTTYD2 is hardly mentioned at all in it, except for a tiny sliver of text saying what it was nominated for.

Governor's Award Program
Size: 8.9 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (2015)
This is very similar to the regular program, except with some slight differences. Mainly just the cover is very different, and the contents are arranged slightly differently. It's hard to explain the difference between events but I'll try. Basically the Governor's Awards are like the Academy Awards, but rather than having films voted on by judges, the governors just give awards out how they like. The governors are the "highest" authority of the Oscars, so to speak. They are part of the same award family, but the Governor's Awards are more about lifelong achievements rather than individual achievements. Basically, this program is pretty rare, because there's fewer governors than judges and guests, so fewer in existence!

"Toothless Lost" Academy Award Ads
Size: 12.5 inches (top), 8 inches (bottom)
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Deadline (2014 - top), Unknown (2014 - bottom)
My favourite HTTYD2 ads! I love this scene, because Cloudjumper's introduction was amazing. It was one of the best scenes in the movie. Also, I love Cloudjumper. I might be a little biased. The bottom one sure is weird; it's a mini-strip ad that has nothing to do with the article above it. But whatever! Appreciate the majesty of Cloudjumper!

Stoick & Valka Academy Award Ads

Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Unknown (2014 - bottom), Cinema Editor (2014 - left)
My favourite HTTYD couple!!! Stoick and Valka, together at last. And while the film was cruel enough to shatter our collective hearts, at least they'll live on together in... these ads? Man, I don't know. But I'm just happy to own something with the pair of them on it!

8-Page Academy Award Ad
Size: 13 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: The Hollywood Reporter (2014)
My largest ad; it folds out to whopping 8 pages! See all the images below!
It's a truly stunning ad, and one of my top favourites. I'm not going to have a repeat of the last Academy Awards... I still feel the anxiety from that horrible time... I'm going to stay on top of the items this time around!

"Two New Alphas" Academy Award Ads
Size: 13 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: DWA Awards (magazine unknown) (2014 - left), The Hollywood Reporter (2015 - bottom)
The HTTYD2 ads have been fairly disappointing, with few good scenes being chosen. But this one is one of the good ones! I love how colourful it is! Hiccup and Toothless are looking adorable too. I dare say this is my most favourite one so far, actually!

Photo Frame (with Komodo Dragon photo)
Size: ~8 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: DreamWorks Animation (2014)
What a lovely, if random, item! It was part of a gift box for voters, or something. Either way it's really nice! It's made from solid black wood and is quite snazzy. It comes with a photo of a Komodo Dragon to boot! That's because as part of their gift package, DreamWorks adopted some Komodo Dragons from a zoo. How lovely is that? The photo is the same for all the packages.

Toothless Academy Award Ads

Finally, some really nice ads! I love how cute Toothless is on this one, even if it is a little plain. And he's pulling the "DreamWorks Face". Oh well, can't it have it all, right? Below is a special version - it's also a lovely magazine article!

"Dragon Races" Academy Award Ad
Size: 13 inches (left), 11 inches (below)
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Hollywood Reporter (2014 - left), ICG Magazine (2014/2015 - below)
A very nice ad, and it's great to see someone other than Hiccup/Toothless getting some spotlight. The other Vikings and dragons are amazing, too! Stormfly really looks beautiful in her racing paint. She's the only dragon who does. Don't try to fight it!
Also, love that it looks like that guy is trying to pet Stormfly. Adorable!

"Where No One Goes" Academy Award Ad - Version 1
Size: 13 inches

This is my favourite style of the different "Where No One Goes" pages! The double page version is actually just the back of the Toothless ad above.

Manufacturer: Animation Magazine (2014 - left)
Wow, this scene was used a lot for ads! I like the black border on the left one; the other two are kind of bland.

Hollywood Reporter Magazine Article
Size: 13 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Hollywood Reporter (2014)
Another movie, another article. It's much like the one before, except focused on the second movie! It's got some lovely details about the film, like how the death of Stoick (spoiler alert?? Seriously, get off a HTTYD fansite if you haven't seen the second movie by now!) was used because Dean DeBlois lost his father at a young age too. It's a lovely read! It actually goes partnered with the 8-page ad, I think. But I bought all mine separately, because I haven't got time for non-HTTYD stuff!

"Valka's Dragon Sanctuary" Academy Award Ads
Size: 13 inches
Distribution: US only
Manufacturer: Hollywood Reporter (2014-2015), DWA Awards (2015 - below)
I feel this ad is a bit bland compared to the others. Hiccup and Toothless just stand there, not doing anything important and not looking particularly great. Probably my least favourite ad, but I do still like it!
