Nice. But it would be better if these get a UK release with original poster art

Hopefully ending up in the U.K. especially as we've not yet had even one of these good old-fashioned Boy's Own adventure films here in steelbook packaging . . . and good to see individual steelbook releases instead of a trilogy.

Regarding the artwork: Interesting poster designs but too busy for steelbook cover artwork (IMO) . . . although they do certainly go well together:-
1. ...................................................................................................................................... 2.

3.

Maybe something like what they did with one of the DVD editions would work well for front artwork:-

What has gone before . . . THE MUMMY steelbook-wise:-
II
V

Spoiler

Reel Heroes style (U.S and Canada) and German horizontal

Trilogy steel:-
Germany (stickerbook?) .................... Spain ................................ France (Stickerbook)

would love the original poster to be the art..and being it`s Universal hopefully the finish is good..

 

[denizen]

We can all hope.

Artwork's up on amazon for all three steelbooks

 

[javiermendoza]

Holy crap, not bad as artworks goes.
The price is a bit much, though.
Will wait for a 3 for €20 deal

Awesome artwork on these... shame the films are pretty dire though.

 

[virkia]

Wow, totally original and brilliant. Love all three
Profuse embossing in the style of DOCTOR STRANGE or WARCRAFT at least on the front? Hopefully embossed image as well as title . . . embossed image on the back would be the icing on the cake.

Very much on these when they come to the U.K.

The only poster that I've seen for the latest MUMMY film is coincidentally in a similar colour palette:-

. . . and the artwork/colouring not just going forward also going back to the classic Karloff MUMMY steelbook complete with hieroglyphs.

Boring generic artwork. Way too modern. Poster art would have been apt.

this artwork is way more creative than the posters, how is it moderd? its right out of the movie

With the right embossing, these will look the dogs doodahs!

 

[zoltan_g]

This look great, but should apply better contrast b/w the yellow and grey patterns.
Now let's hope for a decent inside art.

 

[InAFalsetto]

Absolutely love this artwork. With embossing etc it will look like a real gem. Goes with the film tbh. I'm hoping they increase the brightness on the title and emblem so it looks gold.

 

[bradipolpo]

Spot gloss and embossing on title and gold scarab/dragon/scorpion would be perfect

how funny, i just watched this one AGAIN last night, now days it loos kind of cheesie but i still like it, i have the original German release and i like the front art but i def will get this one.....

 

[Lollard2002]

the Mummy returns is available for pre-order as well. ordered both as I have only the original on laserdisc and no other copy.

Awesome artwork on these... shame the films are pretty dire though.

Completely agree. But I can stomach the first one. Was quite young when it first came out (like yourself) and used to watch it all the time on VHS lol

Artwork is amazing. Embossing is screaming on these so much and being universal the finish should be decent like gladiator (bossing/gloss) or inglorious basterds (bossing)

Will most likely wait for the UK due to Italy Amazons dire packaging or the bay for a deal at some point

 

[paulboland]

I expect we will see a UK release of the 3 steelbooks
EverythingBlu mentioned the trilogy as a possible choice they like to do

So I expect these will have a trade wide release in Europe
