The full slip is pretty disappointing (the back art has really put me off as it's basically just a still from the film and there's loads of blank space), which is a shame since that's usually what I collect. The best looking one is Lenti B IMO, which is probably what I'll go for now.

Exactly my sentiment. They could have done better than a movie still for Full Slip back art.. As for the lenti choices, I like Lenti A Front as it hasn't been overly used but Lenti B has better back art and color scheme..

The back art of the full slip is disappointing. I do like the front though. It's between that and type A lenti for me.

THE ONLY Bacsides that intrest me are those belonging to Rugby Players in a Scrum .

Lenti added to the One Clickety clickety clickers .

 

[gosthunter02]

I am so excited for this to come out now. My choice is between both of the Lentis. Leaning more towards Lenti B just cause of the better picture IMO

Neon demon is the finest picture I've seen on blu Ray in the last couple of months (and zootopia but that's not hard with those films)

I realy have to watch Neon Demon than

Lol! I wouldn't have minded if they just used the full image, I don't understand the black bars at the top and bottom. I'm still tempted though!

Hmmmm. I don't know where I am goin to go with this now. I was convinced it was one-click all the way but maybe not now. Feeling the Full Slip and Lenti A at the moment.

I still cant believe that Manta Lab did such a bad job with the back artwork
1 click or just both lentis, hmm

I Just love the art on the back of the full slip. It's a key-moment in the movie and hey.... we don't know the finish yet could be awesome with some embossing and glow in the dark effects on the skyline

Im sure Manta stated early on in the process for this that they were limited to the amount of official artworks they could use. Even if you google it, there is literally only a handful of images to use for this movie and they've used virtually all of them for these 3 slips and the steelbook.

Wishful thinking but it would've been cool to have Lucifer on the back of one of the slips from the scene where time freezes and all the shattered glass is floating there still, could've used a uv or holofoil effect on the glass shards with spot gloss on Lucifer or something

Indeed! That would've been awesome.Missed opportunity or lack of that particular image.

Thanks! Added to OP.

100% agree with all of this. Aside from the color scheme clashing with the steelbook, I really like the full slip front . . . but the back is awful. I love the front of lenti A, but again, the color palette is wrong for the steelbook. Lenti B finally managed to nail an appropriate color scheme, but I don't like that front image nearly as much as lenti A. The perfect slip would have been the front of lenti A (with the color tone altered to match the reds on the steelbook and lenti B) and the back of lenti B.

Man, I was much more forgiving of this kind of thing back when I started collecting this stuff. Now I can't stand to own packages where the slips don't match the steelbooks (whether it's the art style or color scheme). So it looks like I'll be going with lenti B even though I like both of the other front covers a lot more.

Is 'Hologram Coating' not just another term for holofoil?

Probably a shimmery orange rear cover (something like the Korean Escape From New York slip)?

I hope Not as I am Allergic to Holofoil

Had a reply back from manta

So I asked the following questions and the highlighted is the reply and answers:

• What's the hologram coating on the lenti A (mentioned in the description)?

1. It will be hologram coated with different bases on the slip to show bit of shine on orange/red spots/etc.



• Is the full slip a glow in the dark slip like the traditional greenish effect from glow in the dark when you hold the item up against a light and then turn the lights out?

2. Yes, you are correct.



• And will there be any shots or photos before pre order in 2 weeks?

3. We are under sample production. We sometimes have trouble achieving what we initially planned and go through multiple stages of sampling. Hope everything comes out on time but since our products have been excellent and we will accomplish same standard of finish and quality with these slips.



All sounds good and I'm even more interested in lenti A with some fancy shine to the orange and red

 

[Actarus]

I know I am being picky here but I don't like Character Cards with a White Border I find it tacky ...Nova also did this for Jungle Book Nova Choice and I did not like it also on their package

I MUST HAVE THE 1-CLICK!!!!!

I think the steel really matches the front of the full slip after seeing them next to each other in the beauty shot but like most on here I can't stand the back art.

I'm thinking of what will look better when moving with better depth and in my head lenti A should tick all the boxes

Is that a Different way of describing a ''Holofoil Finish'' ?
