Hahaha I will unleash the wrath of Melmac down upon Asia and I will eat all there Cat Burgers!
J/K, ALF loves Asia, but not so much the factories...
Fortunately, for this release I have only good news to report!
As I feel like I was one of the last to Recieve my OC it finally arrived after cooey assured me that it can take a while. So, I was parient and it just came on Saturday... Wooohooo, I am super Happy!
As my Storage Box and the 1/4 slip steel came a while ago Minty Fresh and no loose discs I had my fingers crossed the OC would arrive the same way.
Luckily, it did arrive Minty Fresh and I can verify that mine has NO loose discs! Super Happy about that as I think I am keeping this SEALED.. Sorry guys, I cant comment on the Lentis inside, but my OC is prestine! Just knowing its sealed Mint makes me happy. Thanks again Cooey for the smooth transaction! I Appreciate it tremendously!
I shook my OC to Hell making sure no Discs are loose and I can relate to others it is very annoying once you know they are loose. I will not keep any sealed copies with loose discs unless I plan on opening it. I honeslty dont know if I will keep this sealed forever, but I do know the current home I’m staying in now I will definitely not open it until I move out and get my own place again where I can properly display my collection.
Until then, it remains sealed!
I thank the Blu-Ray Gods And whoever handled my package; thank you for not doing a Hulk Smash to the box and thanfully no loose discs.
I usually dont care too much about shrinkwrap if there are any tiny tears, but I must say the perfect Shrink wrap on my Ragnarok and Avengers IW are perfect as well as they look Amazing on Display!
To be honest though, my favorite OC I own is not Blufans. I actually feel that my OC Spiderman Homecoming OC Maniacs set from Film Arena is way better as well as my OC Manta Labs Ready Player One!
I like the OC Box to have much better Art work like the Manta Labs and the FA have on theirs and the art work on the FA OC is embossed making it pop out at you.
I honestly think the Blufans OC box needs much more improvements with all of their releases as a better standard. For instance, HD Zeta on my Wonder Woman OC on the bottom of the box it has the numbered edition which I like it to say on the outside of the box just like it does with the separate versions that are inside.
The OC box should be numbered on the bottom, but it is not. If it’s not going to be opened and the box is sealed then how does someone know how many OC boxes were really made? It should definitely be numbered if it’s limited on the bottom of the OC box.
My Manta Lab RPO, Wonder Women Zeta, and Spidey FA all have the Holo stickers on the OC box on the outside, underneath the shrink-wrap verifying the edition number.. Why does Blufans put no numbers on their OC’s outside?
I love the Holo Sticker Film Arenas puts on their OC’s and makes it look more premium as well as official!
I also feel the FA spidey has a larger OC box and is way better then even my Thor Ragnarok Blufans..
So, why is Blufans considered one of the favorites from many when I only got one FA OC and just from that one set I feel like they are better then Blufans?
If anyone owns the FA Homecoming OC would you agree that the box they used is much better then the Blufans?
I like the layout design of the Blufans OC box with the magnetic flap, but they really need to put the holo sticker on the bottom. Blufans should also do special art work for the cover of the OC box like Manta Labs and FA did with there OC’s.
I like busy art and I would have liked for the Avengers IW OC to have actual art work from the movie like all the other Premium companies do for their OC.
I love my Blufans Avengers IW, but they can definitely be more creative for the cover. Especially, companies should recognize that their are 2 forms of collectors and if you put nice art work on the box that is a win-win for sealed collecters as well as open box collectors!
That is the reason the OC Manta Labs RPO is a masterpiece as well as the FA OC both have amazing art on the cover. The HD Zeta Lenti of Wonder Women, Gal Gadot looks super crisp with nice depth. And that nice Lenti is on the cover of the OC.
Why cant Blufans be more creative then this or be on that level for their OC’s? Why are Blufans so praised when the 3 OC’s I mentioned when it comes to the OC box are better?
Even the design of the steelbooks for Homecomong with FA are stunning and Blufans are as well, but I dont see them being the best in my opinion.
I also, feel when it comes to the special stickers that Blufans places on the OC as well as the individual copies should also include doubles of all the stickers so collectors if opening can use the included second stickers still on the sticky sheet to place anywhere they desire.
I dont like the fact that if you want to keep the sticker after opening you have to carefully like a surgeon remove it from the opened shrink wrap. That is a pain to keep the sticker looking mint and when removing a sticker from its shrink wrap no matter what will lose some of its adhesive making it not stick as well as it initially did.. In time it can even start to peel off without the sufficient amount of adhesive that has been peeled away when taking it off the shrinkwrap.
How hard is to add double the stickers when these stickers cost pennies on the dollar to produce?
I am in the printing business and to add doubles of the stickers on a sticky sheet is super duper cheap and would not raise costs for them; next to nothing.
I hate when I open the shrinkwrap and have to carefully do my best to salvage the sticker is just whack to me and if I were the owner of the company I always think of the collector first since I am one myself.
I look to always improve and would definitely have the stickers on the shrinkwrap as well as a double for the collector to use as they please.
I added a pic of some art work I feel would be better on the OC cover or even Just Thanos with his evil henchmen would be better. Or Thanos on it like the Best Buy steelbook... Anything is better then Just a freakin “A”. The OC box is part of the whole ensemble and it deserves steller art just like the content inside gets the royal treatment, but the lack of creativity for thier cover of the OC Box Is underwhelming. The “A” looks great, but I rather have better art work on my OC’s.
Imagine if they took the Thanos cover from the Best Buy steelbook turned that into a crisp Lenti and had that displayed on the front of the OC cover like the HD Zeta Wonder Women and then on the back the OC box they could have added Thano’s Henchemen! ENOUGH “A” logo and “Avenger” titles plastered everywhere...
These companies need to start hiring fans and I bet even some would do FREE designs just to improve a better product we all want!
Premium companies no offense, but you lack in your creativity and why do I see fans making better mockups most of the time versus the final design the professionals put out? I wish people can be more passionate about their work and not just care about the bottom line profits.
A HUGE “A” on a box is not passion and just the most lazy design they could possibly make.
I rather the box have the galaxy with stars and Thanos using his power to smash down a planet on his foes.
All in all, I am super happy with everything arriving Mint and Love this Bluefans OC, but I still would like to see better ideas when it comes to the art work on the OC box itself.
Please, add HOLO sticker to bottom of your boxes with edition number just like you do with your individual versions and whatever # is inside my OC should be the same on the outside displayed on a nice Holo sticker!
Blufans also needs to make a there Holo sticker slightly larger because theyvlook nicer when they are the Film Arena Size or maybe even a little bigger then that would be better. If you look at Film Areans HOLO stickers they are a work of art in their own right with vivid colors and great design work. Whoever makes the FA HOLO stickers knows what hey are doing and other companies should take notice!
The Blufans HOLO sticker is Amazing as well, but just needs to be bigger and placed on the outside underneath the shrink wrap on the OC and then I will be a very happy camper!
