Good to see Blade II get a new release, :happy: I did not buy the other versions but do own it on Blu-ray. So they went with the movie poster artwork, the artwork has been used a lot already but unless they came up with something really good it would have upset collectors.

I noticed it's more zoomed in on the front and the title is more central but it looks ok and good to see different artwork used on the inside by EIV.
 
Would have been interested in this and the 3rd one if they had also been doing the first film, but no details on finish and WAY overpriced. Would need to be confirmed as full gloss and reduced in price to £12.99 "at the most" before I'll be remotely interested.
 
Better art than the DE/JP releases IMO, aside from the lame split interior art, a solid looking steel. Here's hoping it doesn't disappoint.
 
How exactly is it better than the JP steelbook?
For one, the art retains the white/grey theme of the original poster, which I prefer, and I also think the cover composition is a lot more appealing, zoomed in with a vertically centered title and smaller font for Snipes' name. Throw in a better rear pic with no credits (save for the one studio line), and you have, IMO, a better looking steel. Throw any amount of gloss and embossing/debossing and it's no contest. Of course, as stated, simply my opinion, but there you go.
 
Blade 1 steelbook released in Canada and Japan. Blade 2 steelbook released in Japan and Germany. Blade 3 steelbook released in Germany.

Been waiting on these for a long time, always comes down to the price though and whether you think they'll shift fast. Would be happy to wait until they're down to around £12, but if I miss out I'd be royally hacked off
