This thread is gonna explode!!!!

likin' the cover... I wish they'd do debossed instead of embossed... so we get the clean Iron Man face (without border...) but I believe it'd look awesome either way... Gloss finish everybody?
 
I wish blufans would do a WEA IM3 steelbook. I can't stand the Zavvi one. I feel like it's out of place compared to the IM and IM2 steels. When I put them together IM3 looks off. Does anyone else feel that way or is it just me?
 
Just for you guys to remember, companies like Blufans and Kimchi (and in fact EVERY company) MUST get artwork approval. My guess is that this was NOT the first choice for artwork. I'm sure they went with something completely different, but got shot down which is why you see artwork reminiscent of every other version. Look at the Thor steelbook they're releasing. ONLY addition is the hazy clouds in the background on the front cover. It's VERY tough to get approval for Marvel movies for artwork that doesn't already exist (eg - has already been approved). Since I'm the guy who will never be able to afford an IM FS, this makes me VERY happy! Would I have liked to see something completely fresh? Of course!!! But I understand why I'm looking at what I'm looking at. We can always hope for an original slip...

I for one, am stoked!!! Well done Blufans!!!

I completely agree, I would also rather see a 'must have' IM3 steel before more releases if the first one.

I also agree that IM3 with a different artwork would be a knockout, but knowing stubborn Marvel and their antics, I'm sure they'll force Blufans to use that silly WWA design, so it'll be an easy pass for Blufans. Now if there's an opportunity for IM2 and it's a different design, then WHY NOT ;)

This is interesting
So we will have 2 Asian releases of Iron Man
(China) Blufans and (Korea) Kimchi

? Will Blufans have their website up and running for when this goes live for pre-orders
? Will both Blufans/Kimchi end up been the same but with different Full Slips and different Gifts etc

Which one will be the best for overall packaging and gifts
