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

No offense intended but are you just mixing any steelbooks now as the last lot do not match at all in my eyes?

No, for me I don't care really if they match. I just attempt to replace printed backs and/or bilingual spines and keep my favourite front artwork.

Ex. My Canada Looper had a bilingual spine and printed back, and now it does not.

Lots of original/official steelbooks have fronts and backs that do not match at all, which is why I don`t strive for that.

I like the looper one it makes me crazy that they still make some steels with printed backs. Surely there is at least one guy on a design team who knows they look crap!?

Fair do's, was just curious what ever makes you happy man!

They look awesome. It's too bad the Pena interior doesn't match the desired exterior.
