Damn this truly is the ugliest Marvel steelbook up to date! What a terrible waste . Hoping BB or FS have different artwork.

they have the same artwork...

 

[ChrisIW]

using an iconic 80,s character as your profile picture, you should appreciate the tape deck look, its really retro like the terminator movie..

Firstly I don't see how the 2 things remotely relate.

Secondly, according to what people have been saying it's not even the same walkman used in the movie, so they didn't even get that right.

Thirdly, I know I like and this ain't it. The previous placeholder art looked amazing, in fact I remember saying at the time that it looked so good that they're bound to **** it up and change it somehow - boy was that an understatement

These artistic / concept design steelbooks are always a massive risk and for such a big, mainstream movie you'd expect a more traditional looking cover. Unless the ENTIRE movie is based around this walkman then I simply cannot see the logic.

Ouch looks garbage just annoys me there's no continuity with any of zavvis collections they could of kept the characters on the spine going although they did randomly start that idea a few steels too late
Just like the 4 or 5 disney classics which don't match up with the rests numbered slips grrrrrr

 

[x3ntaur]

flick back a few pages to see back art

Thanks - I managed to find it (post 772)


It seems the Avengers steel is worse by comparison.

Artwork is noting to do with Zavvi
It's world wide artwork
It's a Disney/Marvel release
Zavvi don't make any steelbooks
They are a online retail shop selling what's offered to them by film studios with some as exclusives for the UK

This Artwork is decided by Disney and is world wide artwork it's the same Steelbook in other countries
With Zavvi getting the exclusive for the UK

Haha so true!!

Good point, but you never know!!

for those who've cancelled

LOL!!

Interesting plot:
- Zavvi waits until a critical number of cancelations is reached
- Artwork is replaced by a totally new fuc**ng kick-ass one: embossed, debossed, glossy
- Price is now £50
- Steelbook sells out in 2 hours

 

[mlmaier84]

It will be interesting to see how many people actually put their money where their mouth is and cancel their order(s).

I'll be willing to bet a copy that it still sells out, because most will NOT cancel. Which I'm pretty sure is where you're going with this...

 

[Stevieboy]

It's completely sold out, which means the artwork has been positively received to a certain extent. I'm not cancelling, I learned my lesson with The winter soldier (Well not with him personally of course as I wouldn't be here to type thi.......

 

[Aw 83]

Hope thats not the final artwork as its not appealing and its lacking out in all formats please give a better product in our hands,not acceptable as it does not do justice to a great film like this...

 

[PKAVFC]

Well, I missed it the first time and I have just missed it coming back the 2nd time. Fingers crossed there is another round of cancellations come November.

 

[RobertJoseph17]

Love this artwork. Totally in line with the film.

 

[pi2loc]

So, let me get this straight. Are people really insulting other people for not liking this incredibly awful artwork? Whoa!

Who would have thought, but it looks like people do have different opinions.

 

[Kizza]

The artwork isnt the greatest ever created, but its growing on me.

It must be doing something for people as its come back in stock and sold out again.

I don't for one second believe it would have sold out if it wasn't a marvel film...

(That's the only reason I've kept my order)
