It maybe my eye's (Mrs does say I'm blind as a bat) But it's not a good transfer, colours look washed out, where as the proof above is vivid and kong stands out! Just my opinion

Bit of embossing would of been nice.

Just arrived

It's very similar to the mock up...The colours aren't washed out...I don't have the "right light" to take nice natural photos...

What other countries releasing this?

 

[yy0925]

Germany i.e.

But if it's gonna be exactly the same worldwide, I'll cancel my pre order. Nice artwork, but not too impressed by the execution...
Already spent too much money on steelbooks. Can't care for every average release...

I'm wondering if DE version will be with a embossed/debossed title like Kick Ass 2??

Just arrived, along with Edge of Tomorrow from NM, a good day

If you look mate, the colours in his mouth also the mist and tree's in the back ground.

They look a bit dark and washed out to me, kong doesn't pop out as much.

Just my opinion

Well this was an anti climax, was hoping for embossing, there is something about this steelbook I don't like. Not sure what it is. The title on the spine is annoying, it has these marks around it that I imagine is supposed to be mist but looks weird and also mine has some minor paint chips.
Was expecting more from this release. Also cellotape on jcard sis winding me up! Use glue balls

Sure...99% of the mock ups are never as the final product as far as the image on steel is concerned...

I really hope so.

 

[dan8885]

Thanks for all the pics! I didn't expect any em or debossing so im fine with the outcome. Looks exactly like the mock up.
Now I gotta wait till february 19th when it will be released overhere, pay'd 13 EUR, bargain

 

[goufcustom]

I can trade embossed/debossed with gloss finished any day...
steelbook looks nice though...

 

[Butz2k]

Just recieved mine today. Nice gloss finish. Shame theres no embosed title but overall a nice looking steelbook and considering I only payed £13.50, I'm very happy!

Arrived with a big paint chip on the bottom and a small one near kongs face
