Must admit that the original releases were better. Glad I own them both.

 

[Miffed]

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.

marvel is the big thing right now and steelbooks are increasing popular, you can just see the man sitting in an office somewhere with pound signs in his eyes cartoon style!
i expect we will prob see iron man, fantastic four and even awful films like Elektra get new steelbook releases!

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

There's no doubt about it, I'm sure Iron Man is on the way but they can keep them if they're anything like these!

 

[Goonboy]

Very disappointed, thank god I have the HMV release, the HMV release is in another league to this, Zavvi - I can safely say you won't be getting my cash for this one!!!

Ha! An Elektra steelbook, can you imagine?

The frightening thing is that I may even consider buying it if I had all other Marvel films in steelbook form. That's how they get you.

I think it isnt that bad, with some embossing it could look ok for those that wont fork out £70+ on HMV steels.

Still I admit HMV are better, some people simply cannot afford to pay it. I am lucky enough to own all Marvel releases in UK, and well paid £20 for Thor and same for Cap.

Thats nearly 1/3 the price these days.

I agree its abit lazy to use Amarays, but Wreck said it would so what did you expect?!!

better save your money for the hmv one, eventually you'll find a copy for a reasonable price..

i can only speak for myself, but i always want the best steelbook of a movie or none at all

i like the artwork on this and thor, but like the artwork on my hmv steels better my girlfriend bought my the hmv steels and thats what got me into collecting them.
i dont have the play iron man steels, i hope zavvi can release new versions of them so i can complete my MCU steel collection (i do have the german double pack of iron man tho)
i dont count the eric banna hulk in the mcu, so i dont have that, or want it and wouldnt buy daredevil, elektra or the fantastic 4 steels, terrible films, all could do with a reboot (i know f4 is getting one)

 

[K4RIMIN4L]

All i'm gunna say is i'd rather spend the extra and get the hmv steels than these thor and capt America ad these are not worth the money imo

 

[SaberTooth]

With the play IM (re)-release at least they had the lower price point (£10,99) to make up for the lack of quality in comparison to the original FS release.

It's not gonna work nearly as well here as zavvis business model is based upon robbing suckers blind with their blatant overcharging.... hel i bet they wont even commit to a 4k run on these

I don't think this is that dissapointing. The artwork is nice and different enough from the original. I've always liked this poster for Capain America.

While I 100% agree with you on that statement. I do like this steelbook enough to double dip again. WON'T be doing that for Thor thou...

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

Major LOL at the artwork.

 

[Lester]

I quite like the back and insides, but the front makes the characters look like puppets and reminds me of Team America. I'm not sure if I'll go this and Thor yet, as I have the originals.

 

[blurayisnice]

What a hopeless piece of artwork. Original release is 1 million times better. This is just a joke, especially for 15.99. The standard price used to be 14.99 for catalog releases, but Zavvi is not only increasing their price, but also downgrading the quality (art) of the steelbooks.

 

[SaberTooth]

^^ zavvi are also increasing their print runs :movie:

 

[spawnshop]

I wish the back artwork didn't have the little scenes around that star.....and why doesn't the top right have any? Bad design IMO.

Exactly if they were going to put the little scenes around the star they should have put them in all the way round and not leave one blank...Very poor design....

 

[hiphopnrap]

I'm in... Lets hope for embossing

 

[razr24788]

Why put those stupid pictures around the star at the back it is ridiculous, just ruin what could have been a decent sb, the front is not bad with some embossing or gloss could live with that but the back artwork is just wrong wrong!!
