Today I received all three of AQUAMAN from MANTA. He's great!
I liked FULL SLIP most of all.
Have the opportunity to compare with the HDZETA Lenti picture.
1563198648971.png

On HDZETA figure "Aquaman" is a little not sharp, blurry, on the MANTA - sharp and clear. The background of HDZETA is blurred, and the MANTA is much clearer.
The depth is about the same about both. Fish, sharks and the rest are also similar.
Summary: MANTA absolute winner of this lenticular picture (and of course steelbook winner for me - here and so everything is clear for a long time was).
Thanks MANTA!!!
 
Welp got my OC (50ish..which is way lower than expected, though I don’t know if that really means anything) and the single Lenti (750ish). Also got my Zavvi Antman and wasp, but I was supposed to get 2 copies ($5.00 off order over 50 bucks)...so I guess I need to contact zavvi on that one. Lenti looks good to me (both actually). Packing was excellent on both Manta shipments (I ordered separately to save on shipping).

I must be in the minority or my computer is different than yours.The HDZETA slip is way more colorful and way more contrast.Simply look at the title and you will see how much clearer and sharper HDZETA's slip is.The rest is the same with Aquaman.
You can't even make out the DC logo in the Manta.I have no preference since I'm combining both releases as a hybrid.Making the most of Amber Heard using the hybrid.BTW, you don't even have HDZETA's slip properly aligned as you can see ghosting.So it must really be sharp if it would've been aligned completely.

I tried taking a picture, and it just doesn't look good when you do that. There's a ton of Depth to the manta Lenti. It looks sharp to me, but I have nothing to compare it to, so take that with a grain of salt. When i take a picture, it starts lookign pixelated. I think that's because it's a lenticular, because I can clearly seen the vertical lines. Those are not particularly noticeable with the naked eye.

AFAIK Zavvi ship items individually so it's not uncommon for steelbooks in the same order to be delivered on different days, the other copy probably will arrive soon.

I have bought a sinfully large amount of steelbooks from Zavvi over the years and I have never received 2 or more steelbooks in the same package on multi-steel orders. It almost seems like they love doing extra work by sending them out one at a time. God bless their hearts.

I wasn't trying to get a perfect photo and posted a photo just to make it clear that I was comparing. Make photo of LENTI is very difficult and often useless. I wrote a comparison as it might be useful to someone.
You can just believe me - MANTA is much clearer. Color saturation is different - and this does not mean that someone is better in this indicator. I like the colors without oversaturation - like Manta.
