Soon!

What do you mean by soon?

 

[tha_lunatic]

Which is it

V2 of course, but still V1 has the better artwork

OK I bought this from the HDN Shop today but after looking through this thread and reading about different versions, can anybody tell me exactly what I might have purchased? Because I'm not sure if this contains discs or what this is now.

lenti & 1/4 slip
the first steelbook (V1) was a misprint, so blufans did a new one, with more embossing and a different inside artwork. everyone who bought the lenti and/or the 1/4 could also buy the misprint for $10

Thank you for the reply! I was afraid I might have purchased an empty steelbook.
That would have gone great with the mistake I made last week. I bought a "Star Trek" steelbook on ebay only to realize after I received it that it was the DVD steelbook.

Another grail to come off the wish list big thanks to @lgans316 for a great service once again

Steelbook is a beaut! Lenti is surprisingly pretty good as well, I expected worse to be honest (being it older release), got nice transition and depth only thing is Tony looks little bit weird especially in chin and hair area , but overall it´s pretty good, also backside great artwork

Bring on IM2 and IM3 Blufans, I´m prepared now

 

[tha_lunatic]

nice one.
Iron Man was my first blufans release ...damn, that was in 2014 ...time flies.

 

[Hereticz]

That´s why I was pleasantly surprised by quality of this lenti it´s better than some of today´s Filmarenas

 

[Hewitt89]

Have mine coming just around the corner, looking forward to it. Love the steel. Nice pics @Hereticz! Now, can Blufans please also do Iron Man 2 & 3?!

 

[sunnyx]

Now Incredible Hulk is in the works, it's possible for IM2 and IM3. In fact just re-release them all on 4K would be nice.

 

[Hewitt89]

Would be very nice. But since Disney still doesn’t do 4K in China, I don’t know what the chances for that are yet. But the release of Hulk certainly sparks the hope of finally getting IM 2&3 released as premiums as well.

I'm fairly certain at least Incredible Hulk is going to get a 4K release with Blufans but the Iron Mans 2 and would not if Blufans decides to release them, which I'm praying they do there so close to Phase 1-3, unless something significant changes which is unlikely, different studios. It's really not that big a deal at least for me I'm getting the Box Sets so I can just get a 4k Amaray or Vudu is starting to alot of new releases in 4K.

@Hereticz I believe you’ve located Jules’ missing Jheri curl from the Nova Pulp Fiction lenti.

I wouldn't call this a grail. Far from it. Easily accessible and not for much more than initial GB price.

The lenti is average, Kimchi's better. The steelbook on this however is nicer than Kimchi's.

Thanks to @lampshire2005 I now own at least one lenticular of every Blufans Marvel release.
I obviously wasn't going to own them all and not this one, so this was a pretty essential purchase regardless of quality. Turns out I actually really like it. I prefer it to the Kimchidvd. The colour's aren't the best on Tony Stark but the Iron Man side definitely pops plus the depth is far greater than what I was expecting. All in all, very happy

 

[Blu-devil]

One of my empties is reserved for the 4K release, whenever that happens.

What was the difference between V1 and V2 apart from the inside artwork?

Somebody mentioned V2 had better embossing but I can't find any proof of that.....

V1 title is debossed no border
V2 has border and title is embossed

V2 also has more embossing of Iron Man itself

I guess I have V2. The border is only on part of the steelbook though right? More at the bottom than the top?
