Haha love that you used the word "mucka" - don't see many, if any, people saying that on here.Well Noodles fella if it's like that it will be very nice but if it's the zoomed in cropped crap it will be launched through Zavvi's window attached to an half ender mucka !
Just received mine and I can confirm that it has the zoomed artwork.
Some quick photos from my phone (sorry for the sucky quality)...

Grrrr! Maeficent all over again! I was sceptical about the mock-up on Zavvi's site, but was hoping it would be accurate since the Zoomed artwork is trash!
Yep, can't say I'm surprised really. I'm also contacting them to ask for a refund... good luck to anyone else doing the same!Well me old mucka .... that sums it up for me ........ GOING STRAIGHT BACK pronto !
Again misleading artwork on Zavvi website and not the product you are getting.
I see you have learned nothing from the Maleficent steelbook fiasco !
Yes colour change buddy , was a lovely white colour and we got a black one.What is this "MALEFICENT fiasco" that you and others mention ? Didn't participate on social media at the time out so no recollection of any fuss about that SB . . . there was something about a colour change but I have no knowledge of anything else - must have been serious though seeing words like "fiasco" and "incident" popping up on these pages now !?
Personally speaking I think it's a lovely steelbook and one of my favourite non-animated Disneys.
Regarding THE JUNGLE BOOK (2016) SB: think I can safely say "Glad I did not pre-order this"
In conclusion: Up there - or should I say down there - with CINDERELLA - as one of Disney's most unappealing *second release steelbook.
*live action after animation.
Thanks Paul .... yes this was to be expected has you describe but it is simply not good enough with Zavvi not showing what we are buying before dispatch.It's not surprising the steelbook is the same as rest of Europe and Asia as that is what Disney released in Europe
It was shown months ago that the Europe Steelbook was this

Zavvi simply did not update the website to show the updated artwork shown by other retailers in Europe months ago
Zavvi yes should have updated the website but most know by now new release Disney films are WWA steelbooks in Europe and Asia
Zavvi only get WEA Artwork for back catalogue Disney/Marvel films and re-release steelbooks which are also back catalogue
New release Disney steelbooks and New release Disney Marvel Steelbooks will be from Disney Europe will be WWA Artwork unless Disney Europe decide to change that which is very unlikely to happen anytime soon
So when you see actual updated artwork and live photos of a steelbook shown in Europe of a new Disney Film release it will be the same steelbook in UK
Yes FAC will be the same steelbook as Zavvi and rest of EuropeThanks Paul .... yes this was to be expected has you describe but it is simply not good enough with Zavvi not showing what we are buying before dispatch.
I guess the FAC will be the same then so will not be ordering that either , Blufans all the way and a long wait here we come.
Maleficent was advertised with this artwork (white background) as opposed to the black steelbook we ultimately got. Personally, I much prefer the black one and wasn't bothered by the bait-and-switch, but that's not the point. Many people were upset/angry - and some already had the black steelbook and weren't aware they were ordering a duplicate.What is this "MALEFICENT fiasco" that you and others mention ?

I don't think anyone on here was unaware of all that, but who's to say everyone who ordered it keeps up-to-date with what's being released in other countries? Those who aren't regular steelbook buyers can't be expected to know what's WWA and what's not. What annoys me most though is the fact that Zavvi only recently updated the artwork on their site, which showed something different to what we were expecting and obviously gave us some false hope... surely by now the "home of steelbooks" would've had the correct artwork sent over from Disney, because every other retailer that's selling it seems to. I'd rather they didn't upload any artwork at all than upload something that's incorrect!It's not surprising the steelbook is the same as rest of Europe and Asia as that is what Disney released in Europe

I was actually more surprised that they uploaded any artwork at all, since it was very close to release date once they did eventually upload anything... again, that's the reason for all the confusion though. Had they not uploaded the incorrect artwork, then we all would've gone on believing it was the same WWA steel... but to upload the wrong artwork this late was just misleading!I agree
Zavvi should have updated the website listing to show what the other retailers have shown recently in Europe
I did say to you last month don't be surprised if Zavvi don't update the correct artwork until after been shipped and after release date has passed
Why did they not that's another question where they afraid of getting lot of cancelled orders if they showed the correct artwork
In my opinion it's best to show the correct artwork as soon as it's confirmed even if that means a few orders cancelled as it will avoid later customer complaints
