Ordered. Under no illusion that this will be spectacular, as the rest have been as bad finish wise as Zavvi's original ones. Still matte or not it's better art than the original WWA.

Zavvi really screwed up. Instead of making terrible lenti's they should have made these full gloss with good debossed/embossing.

Hence I will only be getting this one, as the rest are just rubbish!

I could have posted the same comments myself. Agree with everything. And I ordered IM3 as a standalone under the same sentiment.

Yep! If they had skipped the crappy lentis they do and did this full gloss it would have been superb. Idiots!

So the Zbox curator on Twitter has confirmed these were design choices to do them as matte and not gloss as it "compliments them" lol and that a magnet would not work on gloss (which is ridiculous).

Also states that gloss is a next to nothing cost lol

So these will all be matte I'm afraid

I guess this finally puts to bed the ludicrous argument that selecting a matte finish over gloss is a cost saving exercise.

Now I'm actually hopeful for a Blufans package with the same artwork.

Imagine this same steelbook artwork, glossed up with a debossed title and nice disc art plus a full lenticular slipbox to match the other Marvel series.

It may be true
But I'm still not convinced but hey ho

Cancelled the other day luckily! Decided I'm happy to gamble and await in-hand pics before biting on this one.

If it sells out, no biggie as I already own Zavvi's original IM3 (with artwork I personally prefer overall) but if it looks awesome and still readily available, I may cave! The proof is in the pudding (as they say)...

Patiently playing the wait game for this and some other titles

Another excellent lenticular which has good depth and lines up well.

Still wish the rear cover art was used on the front but still looks good

Nice to see the inside artwork isn't cutting through the mark 42 right through the middle like the first IM3 steelbook

Thanks for the pics

Imagequality on the front looks kinda bad, and gawd i hate that frame on the back.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Is that the same inside art as the original? I can't remember.

 

[Basil]

glad i gave this a miss tbh, just goes to show zavvi still can't do lentis and this would have ended up being another fridge magnet with same bad line up issues as with first one did.

thanks for pics @StifflersDad

No. In my opinion it's better framed.
