I like it, but would've preferred one of the official posters for the artwork. No doubt this won't receive any special 'bossing treatment either, even though the artwork is screaming for it. Oh well, as usual they'll probably release a much better steelbook for the film a few months after this one anyway.

Why? Latest Marvel steelbooks got some em/debossing, I don't see why this one should be different

Correct. Cannot think of any WWA Marvel steelbook without embossing.

Really good artwork. Embossing/debossing and Spot gloss should be excellent.

Thor: the dark world is the only one

I said "special treatment" for a reason... debossing and spot-glossing a crack on a matte steelbook (Civil War) doesn't make it anything special IMO. This needs to be full gloss with border embossing, otherwise it's going to look really dull.

 

[psychoscot]

Full gloss or that will look bad!

^ BACK ARTWORK: I'd hope for one of these three from PAUL SHIPPER - the man of the moment - the man already responsible for the front artwork on two upcoming steelbooks - PIRANHA and SUPER MARIO BROS. - so a hat-trick would be ace.
Any one of his three poster designs for DOCTOR STRANGE would sit well on the back and would look homogenous with the front with some of the same colouring:-

any of those on the rear would be perfect

really hope the FNAC one is the front we get

To be fair all the others have decent bossing/ gloss etc except civil war.

I can imagine this will be bossed to the eyeballs! (I hope)

To be fair, the eye is in a couple of the original posters for the film:-

Regarding the finish: if I had to hazard a guess I'd say matte with spot gloss to the eye.

I quite like having the eye on the cover, I think it looks good. I'll still see what Blufans are doing as well though.

Called it back in October

I'm letting myself down gently with this steelbook. that temp art looks incredible and with a gloss finish could be amazing. However, knowing Disney this will probably just be an embossed Eye of Agamoto.

That needs to be friggin embossed/debossed like crazy. We wont get any full gloss so atleast spotgloss on the gem.

WWA makes no difference to me, every steelbook looks the same behind Novamedia lenticulars. It doesn't hurt that I actually really like the WWA art though

Strange, very strange .......
