Custom Hybrid-Exterior SteelBooks™

[FanOfGaming]

Let's be honest, I don't think very many of us enjoy having printed backs on our steelbooks, and a good percentage of us also prefer having English titles on them

So, I have starting making hybrids, combining the best parts of different steelbooks into one even better custom steelbook

These are the 3 that I have done:

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (United Kingdom front/United Kingdom spine/France back)

Spoiler

Sin City (Germany front/Canada spine/Canada back)

Spoiler

X-Men: First Class (United Kingdom front/United Kingdom spine/France back)

Spoiler

Has anyone else done the same thing or something similar? I would love to see some pictures or suggestions if you have!

*Of note, yes this does mess up the interior artwork (if there is any to begin with in either steelbook), but for me I care more about the exterior art then the interior art, so I don't mind

That Spider-Man looks good, I'm not sure about the FS IB though! I think the original looks fantastic as it is!

Wow really good mix of different countries to make a better looking SB. Also wish I had more versions to do this with as I hate printed backs.

Great work but I have a few questions FanOfGaming; how did you open the Hitman G1's with the plastic teeth all around the metal casing? Also do the red colors match well?

Spider-Man 3 (Germany front/Canada spine/Canada back)

looks really awesome, to bad they didnt release a steel like it although there is hope if they separate steels do eventually come down in price.

The reds match quite well, the front is a bit more burgundy-tone then the back but it's not far off

I opened it using my usual old credit card method, I didn't notice it being any more difficult then the G2s though

take that back with the germany trilogy front.

Thanks for the update. My future project will be this and a combination of the Dishonored Futureshop Front with German Back.
