Can't say this art is exactly great... saying that, neither are any of the posters. All look like lazy spliced photoshop. At least the other monsterverse films had some epic art going on for them.

Guess it'll have to be DL B, though I'm not a fan of the lenti rear.
 
I wonder how FS will turn in hand... Site reports spot foil but that can be on some writing I think. Not gonna risk though and will probably go for DL A.

They've said spot foil on pretty much all their fullslips recently, and none of them have been remotely heavy on foil.

As a (holo)foil addict that's my biggest concern: to be immeasurably disappointed by the actual product ;) As I said, they'll probably just use it on some writings, like the title.

I prefer actual foil, rather than holo, but I like both. If the FS was covered in actual gold coloured foiling, for all the gold parts, it'd look great. I kinda doubt it though, so I'm not risking it.
 
Foil doesn't necessarily mean Holofoil though...
Yep, I know, that's why I've used brackets ;) Anything shining sells the product to me ;)
For example NE Suzume caused me multiple orgasms but a slightly shiny red title on the spine would still cause me some tiny pleasure ahah!

I do too. Gold foiling would be perfect, but I'm afraid we can only dream about it...
I've put (holo) in brackets because that's my most loved effect, even when they use it nonsense, like totally out of place lol.
Picture me like the attached jpg!

Hmmm, that’s pretty poor tbh. The 2 DLs aren't great imo, can’t stand that DL B front art and how ridiculously big they are in that poster, looks so stupid. Front of DL A is ok but the back is boring.

FS is the clear winner here and should have a decent finish and look good in hand. Steelbook front art is poor tho, however, I do like the back.

Hopefully will look better in hand (as usual)

More poor choices for art cards I see. And repeated in the booklet. Why are manta like this. No other retailer does this. Annoys the f**k out of me
