Kimchi has never been anything other than a store that puts its sticker on products produced by other companies: Nova (long ago), Blu Collection, Info, Weet, FNC, the list goes on and on. I've always been baffled that so many collectors don't get this.
I get it. It’s just that they are one of the few Korean retailers that ship internationally.

Well, I don’t mind the lenticular at all, so I hope it will be a reasonably priced Ebay option if the Manta version somehow sucks or is in such high demand that I miss out on it.

I think these look nice... they were always going to struggle with artwork unless they did something original, since there's very little official poster art out there.

It's going to be interesting to see what Manta come up with, especially since they're also going to need different art for their WEA steelbook.
 
The full slip will be excellent, I imagine it will have some sort of watery spot gloss effect on both sides that'll really stand out

I like the lenti slip on its own merit but the artwork is quite repetitive overall. I see little value in a slip that isn’t something different from the Steelbook itself.
 
If there isn‘t enough choice in artwork they shouldn‘t force out two releases (lenti & fullslip). It might be a better idea to do only one. The front image of the lenti with the back image of the fullslip would make an awesome edition.
 
Beautiful and elegant wraparound artwork Full slip w/ embossed (?) front title picked out in gold and a James Jean style classic image on the back … what's not to like?
If the effects seen on the beautiful poster are utilised here the slip will look much better than the steelbook … card being more adaptable than metal as far as special effects go.

Happy enough with my FAC.

I guess those who missed out on that will be happy to see these.

These are poor though IMO. That full slip is just terrible.
