I also have custom inside artwork but it's kind of plain with just a snow tundra. Been thinking about changing it up to something like the scene with the spider head.

it wasnt remade, this is a prequel to the original

You are correct and also incorrect. It is ACTUALLY a prequel to the remake.

Damn I had completely forgotten that john carpenters "original" thing was in itself a remake!:bow:

The question I have is, do they still come with all the stickers like they did in my photos? I remember the last ones that I got had just one sticker on it.

Its' not a remake. The film is clearly based on the original John Campbell novel from 1932. I have said book. The 1950's film has nothing to do with the book even though it quotes the book as the source. The 1950's film is more to do with scientists v military the monster plot being secondary to the main story of the main characters at each others throats.. I wouldn't even call it a monster movie since there is only one "scary" moment in the film.
The 1982 Thing really takes the book and does it justice, something the 1950's film failed to do. The book and the 1982 film are pretty damn close.

Really thin poor metal on this ....just push your finger against the embosssd logo and the metal will flex in and out.

..got mine last year and was supposed to send it back, but forgot lol. and yeah no stickers on mine either.

btw has any amazon.fr steel ever sold out? ...or do they jus print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print print and print till doomsday? :movie:

I think the metal is the same. Its the space between the metal and the plastic that causes it to flex and the flexibility of the plastic as well. Not all the plastic trays are the same in steelbooks.

oh ok ...i dont own hardly any debossed-only steels anyway lol. However, My HMV Riddick is solid as a rock

yeah I only have a few too but most r pretty much the same , I think the reason Riddick is solid is the positioning of the title and how its at the bottom rather than middle of the front and also because the title debossing is so thin but I could be wrong lol

thin metal, thin tray, doesnt matter because in all honesty this is one gorgeous steelbook

 

[blu-steel]

I guess they don't have the stickers like the one in my photo anymore.

 

[leelee17]

[Smurfy Paul]
