Hi
Can you tell me what this is for a nice edition?

Im afraid i dont have too much insight on it, other than that Its been released in China as a limited edition of 500..

Oh, and they actually managed to put a steelbook of james camerons alienS into a alien 1 edition lol... and thats no joke, i have to add lol

The pictured ones are from Canada. But US also got the same slips, just without the bilingual titles.

Sadly they never came to the UK

You should be able to find them on eBay if you have the patience. It should be fairly cheap, although I've seen it for higher prices. And you could also ask NA ninjas for help.

FOX:
As far as the FOX studio is concerned, we are approaching BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, where we are preparing a luxury XL edition with a two-disc generic WWA SteelBook. FAC edition BR will be released in two-disc UHD + BD configuration. ALITA BATTLE ANGEL, which was produced by James Cameron and is not only visually beautifully processed, is worth mentioning. Here you will find WWA generic three-disc SteelBook in the UHD + 3D + BD configuration, which will be available in FAC featuring XL Lenticular 3D FullSlip. We think it's going to be one of the last 3Ds that FOX will release. We work on THE PREDATOR exclusive editions and we are nearing finishing. Then we would like to go under the approving with ALIEN exclusive SteelBook, followed by the first PREDATOR with Arnold.

i preferred the old mock up...

 

[Punker76]

Personally, I would prefer Ripley’s image to be on the front rather than the back.

 

[Stygian]

But the movie is called Alien, not Ripley.

I can’t disagree. It’s just my personal preference and desire to see something other than an alien or an egg for a change.

I know what you're saying. I hope that if they do put an image of Ripley on the front that they don't use the image on the back of her in a helmet. There are too many images of "heads in helmets in space" used for movies and the image on the back is too small for the front.

 

[Vangeli]

So the new 4K Amaray slip art but green instead of oil slick.

Still better than the icons/heroes/whatever slip set cover from five years ago on the previous mockup.

If Film Arena do bossing like Venom, then I'm all in for this. I do prefer the old art though. Never a fan of plain black backgrounds

 

[EvilThing]

Original design is better - the 40th-anniversary art is getting used everywhere. Despite everyone saying the egg design is overused, how nice would a steel look with a clean version of the original art - something I legit haven't seen on a release since the VHS days - deboss the text and the crack in the egg (and maybe a proper opportunity for GID effect?)

My terrible concept attempts

Spoiler: Attempt 2

I prefer concept #1

 

[monterock]

Non 4k I pressume?

 

[Vangeli]

It's 4K, they reorganized their release schedule to get it out with the imminent 4K release.

 

[nekromantik]

Not a fan of these FAC alien releases so far.
I wish Manta did these.
