2nd Annual 'Steelbook of the Year for 2012' Nomination Thread

[digitalbabe]

Hi All,

It's that time of year where we start looking back at movie Steelbook releases over the last year, and nominate our 'overall favorites' for a final poll in which you can vote in, in January 2013. This thread is only used to post your absolute favorites of 2012-voting is done in a separate thread later on. This is the Steelbook that you think has the best combo of art, features, etc.

Mods, please leave this thread in the main Steelbook area for now.

After nominations are closed in this thread on December 31,2012, a new thread with 25 choices (max a poll will support), (I will compile), will be posted at the beginning of January for voting through the end of January 2013. You can nominate any Steelbook released in 2012.

Last year's winner, as voted by the HDN community was 'Thor'. 2011 Thread is here.

A running list of Steelbook releases for 2012 is here.

Have fun!
DB

My favorite one is The Raid. But I like the idead of breaking in categories

 

[VRob98]

Looking through the posts it seems that the final result is a foregone conclusion - for 1st place anyway.

 

[SaberTooth]

u guys should have categories - there are probably so many good releases worldwide that one award isnt really enough. More awards so more releases receive credit, like the Oscars or some ****

American Steelbook of 2012
Canadian Steelbook of 2012
British Steelbook of 2012
German Steelbook of 2012
Asian Steelbook of 2012
South American Steelbook of 2012
Eurozone Steelbook of 2012

Best Inside Artwork of 2012

In a year crammed with catalogue titles, most of my nominations are from those. although there were a few new releases of note..

Catalogue titles...

Wolverine (play.com)- film 5/10 but the steelbook artwork is very nice
The Hurt Locker (UK general release??) simple artwork, but effective
Iron Man (play.com) A close thing betweek IM 1 and 2, Im tempted to nominate both
War of the worlds (play.com) Again not my favourite film but a very nice steelbook
The Terminator (play.com) of all the Terminator steels released, by far the best

New releases...

Underworld Awakenings (best buy) great finishes on the front artwork, shiny eyes
The Raid (play.com) an unexpected hit, fantastic debossing front and rear
Tintin - the secret of the unicorn (My copy is the Dutch one) again simple artwork but looks very nice
