Hmm the fullslip is o.k. Nova fullslips are much better so Lenti version for me for this version.

 

[AlienKing]

Same Lenticular as Nova? I think the Nova slips are better looking anyway....

Yep, exact same image. Either someone didnt do research at BF or they want to compete directly with NM

 

[davhyl]

Full slips on Nova are miles, miles better. Steel is better on BF. Lenti is the same? I'm a bit gutted as I have Nova's lenti and it's the same as this, so I have an inferior steel inside. If however, I had a Nova full slip, I would be 50:50 on whether that or BF would be better tbh.

 

[IRON MAN]

Third option and the most likely one: that's what got approved by the studio.

Full slip for me

 

[Flloydo]

Only difference I can see between Blu fans and nova lenti is the front title is a little bigger

I'm happy with Blu fans lenti package though

 

[CleverLoginName]

Oh no, I was hoping for something different. I really do want to own the Blufans steelbook, but neither slip is overly exciting. If I'd go for decadency, I'd buy the Blufans lenti slip just for the steelbook and put it in my Novamedia Full Slip A.
Is there any chance we'll get a 1/4 slip perhaps?

No 1/4 slip for Jungle Book - only full and lenticular slip.

 

[Radagast]

because of the same lenti as from Nova just the Fullslip for me. Was hoping for another nice lenti.

 

[lgans316]

Isnt the text on the back of Nova Lenticular printed? Blufans Lenticular package as usual will.be thick with clean artwork and no printed texts.

 

[AlienKing]

Third option and the most likely one: that's what got approved by the studio.

Of course; that's more of a fact. If studio didnt approve it, they cant officially sell it.
How about a fourth option? Combine second and third options

 

[lolwut]

Glad I got the Nova Full Slip B. Blufans are better at steelbooks but Nova are better at slips. Can't stand the Blufans spines.

One critique I give Blufans is them changing up the spines for the Marvel releases, none of them line up right after GOTG.

Christmas + 3 x Blufans (Civil War + Zootopia + Jungle Book) = Empty Wallet = Castration By Wife

Well, you don't need them anymore anyway as you're married! So no loss here

 

[Akina]

Steelbook looks awesome!! Can't wait for release

 

[darczap]

I noticed all the actors posing with their characters on the art cards, except for Mowgli and Baloo. Mowgli I get but where's Bill Murray on his art card? I guess he didn't want to do a press shot with his character.

Is the beautifully embossed Steelbook by Blufans
Or self-production? That is mega.

I just researched the releases for this movie tonight. The Blufans' full slips are better than Nova, and the titles are an important "non-downgrade," both have cards and a booklet, but none of the steel art is special. Taiwan has a nice cut-out slip but nothing else going for it. It's always nice getting another Blufans with a booklet and cards, so I'll probably bite on it for that reason as much as any other.

I think blufans are aware that nobody is buying their products for their slips

The fact that the Blufans steel itself is so much better doesn't matter to you??
