Thanks for the pics. Will def NOT buy any version with this artwork.

I don’t understand why people are complaining and saying that this steel doesn’t match with the first two steels. Could you guys please show me where I can find this rule about making steelbooks?

I like the artwork and I will definitely add it to my collection.

1. Dull matte finish
2. Title not printed on the front
3. Front and back doesn't match and looks very disjoint.

Also that embossing looks poor.

Good for you guys, you won't have to buy something that looks poor

The sample has very shallow embossing

Is it normal practice in Hong Kong to have these 'samples' on display?

And is the sample exactly what we should expect or will the final product be superior?

No. This is a one off. Normally we only get to see the actual steelbook on release.

No idea if this sample is the final version.

Thanks for the pictures Domalorite ..

Have to say the finish on that looks awful ... Wish it was Paramount releasing this with a high gloss finish.

Can only hope that the final product looks better in hand. :movie:

We have to convince ourselves by telling to ourselves that it looks good in hand but it is criminal to use matte finishing on a title like Iron Man 3.

Couldn't agree more mate with that statement.

This is IM 3 and should have the Rolls Royce treatment done to it, IMO.....

Very True

Wish the Avengers franchise was with Paramount.

Wish it was Paramount releasing this with a high gloss finish.

This is a paramount release though right? The logo is on the spines of the worldwide releases as well as this one in the mockup

Hopefully got myself a copy sorted, got a friend visiting Hong Kong around the release date, hope he remembers it !!!

[tono06]

what does it mean? this is in fact another release with a different art?

 

[lgans316]

Can you please post the images as attachment?

 

[Lonewolf]

No doubt this is the best one out so far.

 

[BluSteel2012]

I thought this was the same as all the other Iron Man 3 Stelbooks? The back art is displayed as the front art in that pic though??

 

[jitstark]

Anyone know who's distributing this? Can't see Disney anywhere on the slip. Just a big red M on the spine.

I know DMG worked with Disney in China to co-finance IM3 so maybe they have exclusive Asian Artwork too?

 

[tono06]

if this is correct, i want it!
