Kimchi already have

Yea saw that release, artwork is ok though... but I do assume the Lenti Quality/depth is better on the Kimchi Release?

 

[Steelbookzombie]

Now my only question is will we ever see another company make a Lenti special release of this film?

Kimchi already have

Kimichi's was awesome but the overall winner (bearing in mind I haven't recived my FAC yet) has to be MantaLabs lenticular! Calling it a depth lenti doesn't quite cut it I prefer Ultra Depth lenti!

I have the Manta...meh.

Really...

 

[RzSamurai]

I guess it would be awesome if we saw Blufans release some of the DC films but I think we wont ever see that... So that being said what we have out now is what we might only ever get I would think

 

[satanclaus]

Really...

Nothing wrong with my eyesight, believe me. The Manta image is very inline with the film as well as being nice and clear, but it's also a) quite boring and plain, b) a depth where I prefer transition and c) only a magnet under a 1/4 slip rather than an actual slip.

 

[RzSamurai]

So basically from the feedback I see here the best overall Lenti would be the Kimchi release? Based off of Quality of Lenti. The Manta is nice but what I do not like is the Loose Lenti, so that right off the back is a no go for me. So its between the Kimchi and the Filmarena Lenti... Just don't know which one

 

[satanclaus]

I've not held the Kimchi, but based off pictures and videos, I really don't like how it's a mass of colours and it didn't look overly clear.

 

[Steelbookzombie]

I have KimichiDVD lenticular and mantalabs and although Kimichi is awesome it's a not a patch on mantas! That's going by the quality of the depth ONLY not the graphics not weather it's magnetically attached to the steelbook or if it's part if the slip. The actual DEPTH beats everything!
IMHO

As we always deduce after these conversations, it's all subjective based on where each person places value in how it's done and put together. To each their own and that's why it's great to have choices, it means everyone can get one that they like.

Oh and please, Kimchi, not Kimichi

What about between Kimchi and Filmarena versions? I really like the image of the Filmarena artwork better with the Taxi, but not sure on how well the Lenti is as far as quality and how clear it is compared to other releases from nova, kimchi, blufans, etc...

Whatever you do don't go get the FAC. It's the worst lenticular of the 3.

...except it's not...

...except it's not...

By your own admission
1. It doesn't have transition (which is your preference)
2. The spine is much much darker than front or back in spite of wraparound artwork
3. Most importantly the pose of Deadpool is ridiculously bad
4. The depth is nothing special

Don't understand how this is not the worst

1 - none of them have transition, therefore that's irrelevant.
2 - with a lighter spine, 'Deadpool' would be harder to read.
3 - it's not ridiculously bad, but as a I said, it's not indicative of the film. I do still prefer it to the others though, even though they are more indicative. The Manta looks like it was made to be on the Deadpool kids edition.
4 - the depth is every bit as good as the Manta. In fact it's better, because the depth on the Manta is the distance between hand and paper, whereas the FAC is physically much deeper.

You only have to look at Blufans Age of Ultron, Kimchidvd Xmen Apocalypse and Manta Constantine to really appreciate how spectacular a depth lenticular should be and not this average one released by FAC.

Yes, but we're. It talking about them are we, so I'm sorry, they're irrelevant to this discussion. I don't have any of those 3 because I have a different version for each of them (I had and sold my Blufans AOU).

And basically, the point you're making isn't that you don't think the lenticular itself is any good, but that you don't like the actual image - which I've agreed with more than once. The depth and clarity on this is every bit as good as the Blufans AOU (better IMO, AOU is so dark), but the image is boring and not suited to being really deep.

Hey let's agree to disagree
You think it's great and I think it's disappointing.
We won't ever convert each other.
But that's cool

Exactly and like I said in another post, that's why it's good that we have options, so we can all get something we like.

I got my E1 last week (thank you as always @carllenc) and I have to admit I'm very disappointed by it. Compared to the Kimchi and Manta full slips, this is the worst of the three.
