Major FAIL for BB. Where's The Predator?

 

[BluSteel2012]

I want to say I'll pass on this....but I can't. It doesn't look great at all, but it's Arnie....it's Predator. Nobody else has done a premium for this....

As much as I have issues with it, I'm thinking the same thing!! (And it would appear by the comments many others are too)

Which isn't good as it's sending the wrong message. But I guess this will sell out either way.....

 

[Radagast]

Hmm...i just don‘t know what to do. Yes, it‘s Predator but the steel and the slip are not really convincingly.

 

[St4rlord]

Why the large target lights on Arnie? Makes no sense.

 

[IRON MAN]

Ugly steelbook + average slip = easy pass. And I'm actually being nice and moderate.

 

[Punker76]

Easy pass

 

[tha_lunatic]

fail² ...easy pass

 

[pioneer]

Must be on my own i personally think the slip look's quite nice with the right finish could look really cool in hand imo

 

[Masta Norris]

A big pass on this whole thing!

 

[ariba266]

Failed from A to Z, as often.

I was hoping for a lot better than this
Pity they did not do a WEA release as originally mentioned back in 2016

I will still though be getting this as there is no other premium release announced as of yet

I asked Jan back in 2016 on facebook I hope it's not a pop art steelbook and got a reply it would be WEA
They should have stuck with the plan for a WEA

The person who made the design, must have been very tired

It looks like a design made without interest. It is a cut-paste.

It reminds me of the "Commando" edition.

I was really looking forward to having a premium release of one of my favorite movies, but the steelbook is ok. However, that slip is IMO honestly boring and uninspired. Disappointing for what could have been a must have edition.

This

The slip isn't actually that bad and I'll put my Play.com Steelbook in it anyway

 

[steelmybeatingheart]

well, i quite like the spine.... i'm with @BluSteel2012 @ChrisIW @Apollon and others above. FA, this is Predator - a great film, but since i am uncertain which PQ version is in this, plus that terrible steel , and a truly mogodon slip ? easy pass, i'm outta here.

One might even say..... Super Moderate...... ya know because you're a Super Moderator..... No? Erm, OK... errrrrrrr


As for this premium of Predator. I have the Play steelbook and I really like that one,. but if thats the slip cover artwork than that previous Predator 3D steelbook would have been a perfect match for it. I don't know, it just feels like for a film like this, Film Arena should be putting in more effort to give us something special. Right now, I'd love a premium version of Predator...... I just don't feel this is the one we deserve.

 

[BluSteel2012]

Personally, I think it'll take something real special to beat this.......

 

[Paperinukke]

Arnie looks pretty wistful on that cover, hard to take seriously.

Jan from Filmarena posted a reply on Facebook FAC Nation yesterday that has me interested


Facebook poster posted this
Nice Jan but can't believe we don't have the PRED on the rear of the slip. Also why have they not got rid of the purple tele tubbies steelbook. So much wasted potential with this release.

This was the reply from Jan
Well, you may like the exclusive SteelBook by FAC. Or maybe not. Let's find out soon

Question asked about FAC release
So what are you saying Jan there is another edition besides the BB

Jan reply
This is gonna be revealed soon



Looks like Filmarena have another Predator Steelbook coming
Is this the WEA release he mentioned back in 2016
