baby sh*t green on the back is ugly.

nice front.

That border makes quite a difference. Nice job as always geek

 

[ALK]

Very nice front! Great to see something not so over used as cover art. Gives me hope for more steels that arnt just the normal blu ray cover...

 

[funkydamo]

artwork looks good, but I doubt zavvi can give us the quality to rival the Canadian viva.
Still, im not a fan of vivas so a low quality steel will do.

 

[rodtp]

Wow! Very nice artwork! I just managed to get a copy of Bambi FS but I won't miss this one. Double dip for x

 

[Mojo]

Does anyone know whether it's Zavvi or Disney that are responsible for deciding the finish of a steel? I sometimes feel bad for verbally trashing Zavvi

Beautiful artowrk. Lets go live

 

[Mexicanhat]

WOW! It seems like Zaavi is releasing 2-3 Disney titles every month. We should have half the collection in one year then?

Even if it's ultimately not their decision, they could at least tell us the finish beforehand so we don't have to panic buy before it's OOS. But I guess that's why they don't.

/inb4 everyone cops out all the blame toward the studios.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

I'm convinced that Scanavo's price structure (menu if you will) and projected profit margins are more responsible than anything for determining what gets a premium gloss treatment or not.

 

[NinjaFeetz]

I'm surprised a company like Scanavo can push the studios around. If it's really cutting into their profit, they should just buy the company.

I'm not sure why you are surprised. Disney tried to go it alone in the USA without Scanavo, producing IronPacks and then Vivas, in the end Scanavo won. I guess that is one positive from this situation, at least we are still getting Steelbooks and not some other inferior form of metal packaging.

Because we are talking about Hollywood, the ones responsible for the movies being put into all sorts of cheap packaging. If I was going to guess, they're not making enough money from it to even care.

Say what you want about Viva's, but they have always had gorgeous finishes, ones I've never seen on a steel. Hell, Pepsi cans get better quality matte finishes than steelbooks.

the Viva's as few as were actually made at this point are winning the quality race IMHO. They are much nicer than many of these cheap steelbooks. Embossing without a giant ugly boarder, beautiful gloss finish, thicker heavy gauge of metal. They are built like a damn army tank and don't dent or bend very easily. I'm still sad that they have gone the way of the dodo.

Answer is Disney

Spoiler

All steelbooks
It's the studios who decide the artwork and type of finish
Matte or gloss or spot gloss

Suggestions are looked at and company's like Zavvi can ask for
artwork change and type of finish and it's Disney who made the decision and not Zavvi or amazon etc



Remember Zavvi Amazon Hmv etc are only sellers
They don't own the rights to a film
It's the studio as in Disney who decide what been released
All they do is approach Zavvi are you interested in a
This title
Sometimes a retail like hmv amazon etc will approach a studio looking for a exclusive on a title
But it's usually the studio who do the approaching

i just wanted to thank Zavvi for giving me a break since i will be passing on these title in April! .....i OWN the VIVA edition, in my opinion is really hard to super that one, the detail on that box its amazing and i know is not a steelbook but i love it! on the other hand this is a great opportunity for those folks that don't have this movie...

As a guy that has actually in the past worked within an industry that deals with product licensing I think you are wrong sir. Yes the studio has a say but I honestly don't think they care much about the finish given to a product. Who does? The licensee that knows they can make X more amount of $$$ by cutting costs and corners.

If it's a zavvi exclusive, I think they have some say. After all it's them who will get the most profit. Kimchi and blufans are all quality?

 

[thop1988]

any news on when this is going live?

[Mojo]

Hmm I think it's easier to just carry on blaming Zavvi
