Thanks for the tag
Love love love it
can't wait for the slips

Looks great! But is it just the photos or are the steel kinda dark in the colors. Would look better with brighter ones.

I think this has been a problem for a long time which only few seem to be bothered or concerned. Scanavo are clearly cutting corners. I am not sure what's stopping them in making the Steelbook artwork colours bright.

This is so much better than the WWA artwork.

Thanks @harry! Looks great though it does remind me of the Kimchi lenti. Let's see what the slips look like!

It looks fantastic, Blufans is on a role with these Disney releases. The only thing that puts me off is the cost. It would be so awesome if Zavvi was releasing Steelbooks like this instead of the rubbish WWA releases because this would slot perfectly into the Disney Collection.

nothing new in the artwork so easy miss for me (though better choice of artwork on the steel, but its reused WWA with petsilp front)

The only significant improvement is the title on the spine... other than that- I think I can pass on this one.

Regardless, it's still generic poster art. I don't know why we take so much time and effort out of our schedules and THIS is the best we get?

Do something inspired. Do something intriguing. If I'm going to be spending money on a premium steelbook, then make it mean something.

Just pass if that's the case. Simple.

If standard retailers produce the best then premium retailers won't make any money!

Doesn't seem to stop FA making money dressing up WWA

Because not everyone goes for WEA, but the 'cardboard slips' eh? The things you hate about premiums?

was only pointing out that boring WWA steels are still a money maker for premium retailers

The way I see it, premium steels can now be split into two different categories, slips and goodies or WEA. You like the steel, and others such as @Covcraig prefer the slips instead. Metal or Cardboard, which is more important? There's your answer.

I normally go for WEA but the Full Slip on the Kimchi Zoop is gorgeous and I went for that. I don't think Blufans will make a better slip but it does have the WEA. I would say most times I go for WEA but good to have a mix sometimes. Get out of your comfort Zone Stiffy!

 

[Covcraig]

I wouldn't necessarily say I prefer cardboard over metal, if I'm buying a premium package then I appreciate a really good overall package. Sometimes you get a crap steel and gorgeous slip or sometimes you get a gorgeous steel and a crap slip.
Mantas BVS fullslip release was a prime example of this with the steel being abit meh. Blufans recent Age of Ultron lenticular release is an example of a really nice steel and a really nice slip so is a win win.

I'm a steelbook collector first and foremost but i do appreciate the nice slips and lenticulars. Especially from novamedia, they're my favourite. I think blufans can be hit and miss and don't feel as premium but they're getting better. And kimchi are the same but have put out some stellar releases more recently.

I just wish these companies wouldn't flush the market with multiple releases of the same titles, would be cool if novamedia and blufans did marvel, manta did dc and kimchi do the more niche films like fifth element and it follows.

Surely it must be possible for Zavvi to just import a 100 or 200 of these to sell them on their site for Blufans

That's what Zavvi or some other site like Amazon COUGH COUGH should do. If they did Zavvi would slowly die
