I think this is a really nice steelbook and had I not had the HMV version, I would snap this up. The front and back are really cool. The amaray cover was always going to make a great steelbook, where as the Thor release seems like it has TOO much going on, but then has next to nothing on the back.

I hope all of you who bought it, enjoy it. Had I not spent too much over the last six months, I would of double dipped, for sure!
 
Its basically shown the main characters just like on Thor as well. I imagine they will have Iron Man next with the main characters on it. I bet it happens.

Well they have some good choices to choose from. The last two are my favourite. They'd all look good together and the artwork is different enough to not annoy those with the play releases.

Seems to have a marginally better finish than Thor, however can't believe how bad the inside art is, quality control guy needs sacking.
 
I'm quite surprised with this steel. Better than I expected.

Anyone else think this matte finish is the brightest yet? It's deffo the best of its kind IMHO.

Yeah I agree, as far as matte finishes go, this is by far one of the best in terms of colour. Before I took the shrink off I actually thought it was a dull gloss finish.

Hum... didn't we get IM & IM2 last year? :D

Yes and I think its time to get another version with the main characters on the front cover to match the new Thor and Captain America. I would be down for it. :scat:

Just make it 5000 print run with numbering on the back like they do with blufans releases.

I am getting excited about collecting again. It has felt boring the last year, but I am now seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Things look bright!!!

HMV version is much better IMO but at least this is a half decent alternative to those who missed out on the HMV one first time round
 
Looks good to me - a nice one to add to the collection alongside Thor. I wish they had embossed the shield on the front and the star on the back.
 
I really like the back art and the embossed title looks really good. It maybe just down to the colours used that the finish looks better - less black used than in the Thor steelbook.
