For your viewing pleasure. Cool to see some backroom shenanigans (and the back of the boxes)

Supreme edition slip looks better, typically.

Yep, the reverse of the Supreme Edition is way better. The regular slipcase reverse and front image looks comparatively dull against it. It seems, to me at least, like they're using much higher quality material and printing for the Supreme Edition.

To me anyway.

Well, so they should for double the price.. but there we go.

Guess we'll see.
£50 is pretty much getting to premium levels pricing, I'd still expect to see higher quality materials than normal since the scrappy boxes have been airlocked to hell.
For £100 I'd want real waxed canvas loincloth, added platinum hinges with gold & tigerskin accents and a lock of Ridley Scott's hair.

Can't discern what that 'dot matrix' 60's newspaper crap on the back of the £50 box is...

Yeah, I was wondering as well. It looks sh*t. I do hope they are planning on adding another layer or finish to that. It looked like a transfer of a cell image from the film...but in negative & brown
Not impressed.
The bigger brother looks Hella better.
Really hope that isn't the final print.

I'm a bit late to the party, but re. Supreme Edition, you don't get much for £100, do you?

They deliver it personally to you and laugh in your face.

I hear metal poster is made outta real gold

So more Titans sexiness for you. We know how much the crowd here loves the touch of titans!

I love an underdog.

 

[GeoRattray]

Ohh... ah... wait... what... how... why... ok!?!

 

[TheWildEye]

Ohh... ah... wait... what... how... why... ok!?!

Titans want to touches those fuzzies...

One thing's for certain, they're controversial (for the wrong reasons) gotta love their heart.
It'll be an interesting release.

I'm liking these behind the scenes factory shots

Pantone color turns their color into another color? What are they on about?

Yeah, I bet they do too!

It’s a way to ensure faithful colour reproduction no matter what surface you are printing onto

I think they may be talking about being RGB and converting to CMYK at the pressing stage with Euro ink Standard..

You could be right. I only come from a photographic background: not industrial printing, but it’s something you become aware of when using photoshop for work. Most people don’t know what CMYK is or Pantone so seems a bit pretentious to make a big thing out of it. But basically a lot of printing colours are “owned” by Pantone as crazy as it sounds. So yes a colour matching thing but also a copyright issue.
