Yeah I've got no doubt when this comes around they will doing a good package. However, this could take months or even years to come through and the steelbook art for the FAC release is great so I'm going to grab the E3 if I can through the GB. I'll then wait it out and see what Manta come up with

Interesting that you're going to go via the GB for FA's. Are you expecting it to be hard to get by purchasing directly? I'm in that quandary myself....
 
Seeing as this thread missed the info yesterday



*BladeRunner 2049*
- Again... we are rejected with few ideas so we are starting over with the designs. We hope to release this by end of this year

:(
*Kingsman 2*
- Approvals have been quite difficult with this release because our entire designs have been rejected few times. We are working on this again but the release is going to be delayed until later this year.

*Dunkirk*
- There's a good news about this release because we were having problem with the approval from the director but we've heard that the approval process is moving again. We hope to post good news about this release.

*Alien Series*
- TBA, we are working with one of the best illustrators in the industry for our package and hope there's more news on this within this year.

*Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them*
- 50% of production has been finished and we are planning to release it in around October.

*BladeRunner 2049*
- Again... we are rejected with few ideas so we are starting over with the designs. We hope to release this by end of this year.


7. Steelbook Production and feedback
As our customers know that we've been switching back and forth with the steelbook production for our products and we thank everyone for the honest feedback. In our opinion, we are having difficult time deciding which production we want to use for our products because different factories have different pros and cons. Traditionally, we've been using super glossy steelbooks for our products but the problem we've faced was that the super glossy steelbooks have softer coating and it's more vulnerable than the hard coating. Regardless of the production we use, we will continue to QC our product to send out the best products for our customers.
Thank you very much and we hope to publish more good news with our next update.
Best regards,
Manta Lab

Indeed. Some folks don't visit each and every thread and some don't even see embedded posts from Facebook due to some limitations on their devices, so posting the whole thing is for those members.

I get that, that's why I clearly in plain text pasted the exert relating to Blade Runner separately
 
Manta Lab updated

Blade Runner 2049: Design is still in progress. This might be our first release with Sony so we are adapting to their style for the designs and specification.
In other words... the design might not be great.

What are people's thoughts on something like this? I tweeted it to Manta months ago and whoever runs their account liked it, but I wonder if they've already tried something similar that's already been denied anyway.

Also this could be a nice alternative contrasting rear cover instead of the Atari flyover, if formatted for portrait by moving the hologram text up and behind Joi, and with the actual shot of K instead of this weird illustrated one:

Going to be very hard to top what Film Arena did with theirs and that's pretty much perfection when it comes to this film

This ^

Still, Manta always seem to knock it out of the park, so I have faith they're deliver something awesome!

I mean, there's lots of possibilities, since every frame of the film is stunning...

I believe that Film Arena's steelbook is a perfect steelbook. But for steelbook collector's, when it comes to this movie, I don't believe that it has to be topped. I believe people will want more than one release if done right.
 
I would like it much better if they would only announce releases that have already been approved rather than a laundry list of the ones they hope to get approved. The same way so many FAC threads are now redundant due to the fact that they took on too much. These threads IMO offer a hope that may never come to be.

Agree...Tomb Raider for example wasn‘t mentioned again in their newest update :offtopic:...so what is the status of this project?

Exactly. Some of these endeavors are not guaranteed. It would be more prudent if they only shared with the steelbook community what they can deliver. I really detest the fact that so many are probably committing to ignore /pass on other solid releases in the hopes of getting one that may never see the light of day.
