Nice to know many of you remembered my concept and noticed the similarities between that and BF's release. But yeah, it's just pure coincidence that our designs are the same... unless BF saw mine and were inspired by it, which probably isn't the case lol. Still, it's cool that we share the same taste! I'm looking forward to seeing the steel in hand.

I wouldn't be surprised if they saw it and were inspired, I seem to remember them being 'inspired' by @berns concept of Rio way back when

Ha really? Honestly, I'd be kinda honoured if they did use it as inspiration.

Fugly poster for the front . . . hardly a good match to what's gone before from these guys . . .

Love the back - in a different colour scheme - though.

Front image more suited to a lenticular or Full Slip (imo).

Front art should've been this - or something very similar - if only to go better with the previous two steelbooks:-

Pure awesomness although I would rather have the artworks the other way, Thor alone on front side. But it is frikin beautiful

same here.
as I mentioned before, both prequels have Thor only on the front, so it would be nice when they would have continued this route.

anyway I'll 1 click this release

As much as the first movie steelbook was stunning, I disagree that it should be something similiar. The theme and projection of the film has changed and I feel the steelbooks should reflect that also. There is much more humour in Ragnarok and the advertising through the trailers, posters etc all have this 'zany' colour theme. Humour = bright, serious = dark. Times change and the MCU has recently added more humour to their films... Ant-Man, GOTG, Homecoming, Ragnarok... even with a mix of more serious films... Ultron, Infinity War and Black Panther judging from the trailer. There is a clear mix throughout, but as far as Thor goes, it has changed and to make something like the above a selling point for the steelbook doesn't gain my interest as much purely because of the current theme. It's evolved and future films will evolve too. I'm not really sure why they took Ragnarok down the humour path but I very much enjoyed it, and I certainly love the vibrant artwork and colours that help advertise it. The blufans release will most certainly be a stunner because of that.

Perfect Steelbook for the movie!

Yes, I follow you about the humour injected into this film and I understand because of that you feel the steelbook itself should reflect this new humorous tone by using one of the colourful, "zany" posters for the front.

My point would still be that the steelbooks for all of these films should go well together as a classy set par excellence . . . with any zaniness of colour confined to one or all of the slips . . . this new steelbook will stick out like a sore thumb next to the elegant first two.

Anyway, hate to say it - and this is of course not the place to say it - but on this rare occasion I'd say that the THOR RAGNAROK WWA has the better front.

THOR steelbooks (WWA):-

i dont understand why they keep doing 3D releases when people want 4k

I agree the single image of Thor on the front goes better in terms of continuity, but only continuity alone along with the colour theme, and each front has got 'brighter' in colour as time has gone on (by pure coincidence no less) but overall I would take what Blufans are doing over the WWA any day, even if it doesn't go well with the others, as I think it is the clear winner in terms of design and the inevitable embossed/gloss finish. That again ties in with the changing theme of the movie. It's all personal preference anyway.

I want 3D ...dont care about 4K

Yeah but you're strange because you also want the artwork changed

 

[WendyUncharted]

I want this ! The steelbook looks awseome !

I don't particularly want either... 2D Blu-ray is good enough for me.

I hate it, when companies dont do consistent designs

They can do at least 1 edition with 4K disc.. other 2 with 3D disc

Third film is a completely different tone of movie and approach to the character so why would it have to be similar to previous entries?

You don’t buy Blufans anyway, too busy snarking at those who do - so jog on.

I'm only messing with you

Perfect art, shame no 4K
