Original FHM Magazine – January 2012 issue featuring Olivia Munn as the principal cover star.

This is a very distinctive early-2010s FHM issue with a gaming-inspired front-cover design, large yellow FHM masthead and Olivia Munn photographed in a casual black cropped “HOWDY” top, shorts and glasses. The cover promotes her as:

“Game On… Olivia Munn Is Next Level Sexy”

The issue is also presented as the FHM Annual 2011, looking back over the previous year while still being the January 2012 dated magazine.

Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn receives major coverage inside the magazine, with the contents page listing her main feature from page 54.

The contents describe her as the issue’s Hollywood cover star and place a large black-and-white photograph of her alongside the feature listing. This is therefore a substantial Olivia Munn appearance rather than simply a cover image or brief mention.

For collectors of Olivia Munn memorabilia, early-2010s entertainment magazines or FHM cover issues, this is one of the strongest features in the magazine.

LMFAO

The issue also contains an LMFAO feature beginning around page 64.

The contents photograph shows the duo alongside party imagery, with the article centred around their New Year / entertainment persona. Their appearance gives this issue additional appeal for collectors of 2010s pop culture and music memorabilia.

Reggie Yates

Reggie Yates appears in the magazine, with a feature listed around page 40. The contents describe him in connection with his acting and DJ work.

Emily

A feature titled “Girlfriend” appears at approximately page 90, centred on a woman named Emily. The photographed contents page identifies her by first name only, so I would not add an unconfirmed surname to the listing.

Thomas Turgoose

Actor Thomas Turgoose, known from This Is England, appears around page 38 in another entertainment feature.

Harold & Kumar

The contents also advertise a Harold & Kumar feature around page 46, adding further film and comedy-related material to the issue.

Other Contents & Themes

The magazine has the broad mixture of celebrity, entertainment, humour, lifestyle and men's-interest editorial associated with FHM during this period.

Photographed contents include:

• Olivia Munn cover feature
• LMFAO
• Reggie Yates
• Thomas Turgoose
• Harold & Kumar
• Winter fashion and knitwear
• Christmas drinks
• Gift ideas
• Relationship features
• Fitness
• Cooking
• Street style
• Lifestyle and humour
• The FHM Annual 2011 retrospective
• End-of-year entertainment and cultural commentary

The annual section is promoted as an irreverent round-up of events from 2011, giving the issue an additional end-of-year / retrospective element beyond the normal monthly magazine format.

Condition

This is a used original magazine and shows visible signs of age, handling and previous reading.

From the supplied photographs:

• Front cover remains bright and highly presentable, with strong yellow, grey and black colouring.
• Olivia Munn cover image remains clear with no major obscuring damage.
• There is visible edge wear, particularly around the spine and lower edge.
• The bottom-left/spine corner shows some noticeable rubbing and small areas of wear/chipping.
• Light corner softening and curling can be seen.
• There are some surface handling marks and fine scratches visible across the glossy cover when viewed under strong lighting.
• A visible diagonal crease/fold is present near the upper-right area of the front cover, extending through the grey background near the “50 girls” section.
• The spine remains attached and the magazine appears to retain its structure well.
• Interior pages shown are generally clean and colourful with good print quality.
• Some page edges show mild age-related waviness/handling consistent with a magazine of this age.
• The contents pages and photographed features appear securely bound.
• No obvious extensive staining, major liquid damage or widespread writing is visible in the supplied photographs.
• The rear-cover photograph shows further minor spine-end and corner wear, but the magazine remains a sound, readable collector's copy.

Overall I would describe it as good used condition for its age, with noticeable but fairly typical handling, edge and corner wear. It is not mint, so buyers wanting a pristine archive-grade example should examine the photographs carefully.

Collector Appeal

A strong issue for collectors of:

Olivia Munn, LMFAO, FHM Magazine, Reggie Yates, early-2010s celebrity culture, television personalities, music memorabilia and British men's lifestyle magazines.

The combination of the Olivia Munn cover feature and the FHM Annual 2011 retrospective makes this a particularly representative issue from this period of the magazine.

Postage & Packaging

The magazine will be carefully protected for dispatch to help reduce the risk of bending, corner damage, rubbing or movement during transit.

Depending on the final parcel size, the magazine will be packaged using sturdy cardboard and/or protective bubble wrap. Extra attention will be given to the front and rear covers, spine, corners and outer edges, as these are the areas most vulnerable to damage.

Where suitable, rigid cardboard reinforcement will be used to help keep the magazine flat and minimise flexing. Protective wrapping will also be used where required to reduce movement and surface rubbing inside the parcel.

The protected magazine will then be securely enclosed in suitable outer packaging for transit.
