Looks like a bit of a cut and shut job - a splice of 2 designs. Back is good, the front could've been less busy.

I'll be looking to order though as yet to own this on blu ray.
 
I'm not sure whether to buy this...why even re-release

They have clearer not understood the reasons that made thor and CA so popular in the first place. The artwork does not warrant another release

The work from ninjas on this forum beat this hands down
 
I just don't understand this. I was looking forward to these. But both this and Thor are simply really poor efforts.

A quick look around just this forum and you can find some amazing artwork mock ups, from forum members. If they would only take some notice. We as collectors would rush to secure our copies and the masses would still buy them regardless. These do not appeal to me as a collector. I'll be passing on both, along with one or two others I expect.
 
The back art is an odd choice!
Especially since they didnt include an image in the top right section of the star. Makes it look half finished.
 
Something that worries me is that there will be nearly a 5 month lead time from first announce to release, and what's more it looks like the artwork etc must have been signed off prior to that, meaning that this has been in the pipeline for probably more like 7 months. Not worth it, and an easy pass.
 
It's like a Marvel love in. Wonder if they'll bring back alternate versions of Iron Man 1/2 as well?

Wouldn't mind......Still I don't actually mind the art here, it's nothing new but I think it will look pretty good on a steelbook.
 
Gah! This and Thor are exactly the same as the amarays. Easy pass for me, and with that I think I'll cancel my Iron Man 3 steel. All my MCU movies are amaray except for my HMV Avengers steel anyway so it'll look better to keep it that way.

Bet the HMV Thor and CA owners are happy now though :)
