The inside art, well yes it could have been better. But that's the last thing I look for when buying a BF exclusive.
Call me crazy !! But I don't display my steelbooks open.....[emoji38]

The only time I see the inside is when I get the disc out and even then I don't stop to drool over the interior.....

I think inhand and with the amazing lenticular slip box and extras BF will give it. It will be the best IM out there...IMO

Now THAT'S exactly what i was talking about - thank you!

Inside Art could be better but i don`t care much about it because i´ll keep it sealed anyway

 

[Travis Bickle]

Wow that slipbox & lenticular look great

 

[Civer]

After all this time and hype, they come up with this? I would have expected more.

I really like the inside art, it's different concept. We've seen worse or even no art.

Glossy finish.Debossed title and...on the EYES as well.With the slipcase and finish on the steel,the inside art is simply lagniappe...icing on the cake.It's a WINNER.
Blufans have shown their hand...this could slightly give Kimchidvd the upper hand since they've seen their competition.Will just have to wait and see.

BTW - Iron Man is number 20 in the Blufans exclusive line

 

[Troll2Fan]

Exactly! Only a handful of collectors will actually open this beauty....

I am in that handful. But still won't grumble about the inside artwork...

You and me both my friend.

Feels like the ship has sailed on anyone looking to get an IM steel below $80. Looks so perty though

Nail and Head! This will be the one to own IMO

 

[frankfish44]

This just looks right IMO. All the colors play well together without standing out too much as on the play and FS releases where the red is dominant.

 

[dipzy]

I want it now, don't want to wait

 

[Apinamakina]

That UK version is enough for me, so I will give this steelbook a pass.

Inside artwork being hand drawn wouldn't bother me, I think that drawing looks very nice.

 

[avenger85]

still not sure how I feel about the inner artwork. I think if it was any other distributor, I would be really happy with it. But given that it's Blu Fans, I think I expected something more for the inside.

 

[BradG1984]

Personally really like the inside art, didn't even notice it was drawn untik someone posted about it! Lol

I'm gonna open 1 and keep one sealed, the sealed one I will cuddle at night

 

[alvinhwang21]

i dont understand the slipbox concept, i know its a minor detail but it seriously bugs the hell out of me. Why does blufans open to the left and the others, like kimchi and nova open to the right ?

 

[tommyh84]

Kimchi is the last hope for a Futureshop beater

The interior art looks to be a variation of this piece by Adi Granov:

"Adi Granov is a Bosnian-American comic book artist and conceptual designer. He is best known for his painted work with Marvel Comics, for whom most of his comics work is produced, in particular his work on Iron Man. He is especially known for illustrating the miniseries Iron Man: Extremis, and for doing concept and keyframe artwork for the 2008 film Iron Man, a job for which director Jon Favreau personally selected him. Granov has also done concept work for the films The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and has designed packaging for the DVDs and toys based on those properties."
