Yet to see a proper photo of these.

They shouldn’t take money for Birds of Prey until they at least get this release in everyone’s hands.

WTF? Why didn't he take the video AFTER he removed the shrink-wrap (and turn on the lights!)

Still very poor shots of these!

Asians be afraid to run up a leccy bill!!!

 

[Vaako]

Very underwhelming release

 

[St4rlord]

I have no issue with the images used and i'm sure lenti's will be first class but there seems to be this yellow/green tint that tarnishes the overall appearance of this release.
I get that colour reflects mood or theme but it seems it may not be applied well in this circumstance. Then again maybe it is and it's just a little dark or perhaps something more vibrant is what expectations were. Either way I will judge properly in hand but as of right now I think the slip finishes go to Umania and artwork goes to Cine-Museum, but again I will judge all in hand.

Glad I passed on this as it’s very subpar from what we’ve seen so far compared to the usual Manta standards. Guess it’s time to now pass it over to HDZ so they can perform a fatality and show ‘em how it’s done properly, what’s that saying they save the best to last

im sure i saw you say your DC number 1 fan. well if thats the case number 1 fans always buy every version

 

[BluSteel2012]

I didn't realise the back of the slip was a painted artwork. I thought it was a screen grab!

That’s just what a wannabe number 1 fan says to a true number 1 fan doesn’t make it true by any means. Quality over Quantity all day everyday buying everything means nothing!! That’s just telling them you will buy anything they pump out just because your a “No 1 Fan” gives false pretences when the product is actually sub par and not worthy of a true DC fan but whatevs if this floats your boat go right ahead it’s all subjective anyways.

It is a screen cap though totally mutated by trying to turn it into a piece of painted artwork which looks like it’s trying to eat poor Arthur

 

[Flloydo]

Screen grabs for slip artworks are fine especially on the back if the image is a decent screen grab. This one works

Never actually realised in this instance it’s a illustrated version. Looks great

 

[Mokum]

TBH I felt the SL was the edition to pick and I'm glad I did.
The back is a pleasant surprise and it has the same finishing touch WeET applies to its full slips as well.
The front seems to have a great depht and the transition effect looks very good.
Now let's take a look at OUaTiH, where I picked both the FS and the DL (really love the latter but the first can turn out great once in hands).

Agreed. I'm still more than happy with my choice of the SL so far, looks amazing IMO The Lenti is looking very promising and the back has a nice finish to it as well, so no complaints from me

Any more open pics please?

yeah the SL is looking better than I thought it would. Still not massive on the front steel art though. Also hope that Full Slip looks better than the pics
