Breaking the first rule...

One of the most ground-breaking works of fiction in recent memory came at the hands of one of the most innovative authors in recent memory. We're talking about Fight Club and Chuck Palahniuk here folks - Chuck has gone on since Fight Club to write a slew of edgy novels and continues at an impressive pace. And Fight Club? It went on to become a key cult classic film thanks to the talents of David Fincher and a great cast.
Fight Club's status as a cult powerhouse just keeps getting more solid as time goes on, and we've seen collectibles and a Fight Club 2 comic series thanks to Palahniuk and Dark Horse Comics as a result. Let's look at some key FC pieces you could add to your collection (without breaking any rules)...

Fight Club Screen Print by Ken Taylor/Mondo (2014)

There have been a few limited Fight Club screen prints released, these two our are favorites thanks to the un comparable Ken Taylor. The red variant was limited to 175 and the green regular was limited to 400. They go for around $150-$200 on eBay.

Fight Club ReAction figures by Funko/Super 7 (2015)

Funko and Super7's ReAction figures are great fun for nostalgic collectors, and if you're so inclined you can pick up The Narrator, Marla Singer, Tyler Durden shirtless and Tyler Durden for around $10 each at some toy stores, Amazon or eBay.

Tyler Durden resin figure by Ian Chappell (2016)

Ian Chappell, also known as Wheres Chappell (crackedhatchet), makes awesome resin figures limited in number based on comic and pop culture characters. He did two versions of Tyler Durden, both of which are sold out, and unfortunately rarely show up on eBay. If you find one, grab it - we expect his work to be more sought after as time goes on.

Fight Club First Edition by Chuck Palahniuk/WW Norton (1996)

The first printing, first edition of Fight Club is a true investment and great collector's item for any Palahniuk or Fight Club fan. eBay sometimes has them, just make sure it has the full number line that starts with a 1 for the first printing, and be ready to shell out a good $200 or more.
