good news!

LOL! I already have their previous 4K steelbook with pet slip and 4 character cards. And it was a full gloss steelbook. Not sure I will buy this unless the artwork is somehow better than the first one. This release might be good for those who missed out the first time.

Might have to buy it as I imagine they will release a matching steelbook for the sequel.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking...

Auto skip! Real estate is not cheap! lol

I'm happy with the Zavvi Collectors edition they did a few years ago, although it hasn't a title which annoys me. Unless this is a real stunner I'll stick with that.

I have the one from Play.com too, which is really nice.

I've got the Novamedia release so they'll need to put out something nice to beat that, a 4k release would be nice though.

Not sure how much I care about a matching steel for the sequel, I hated that film but it wouldn't be the first time I've bought a ****** film for a nice steel.

Doubt there will be a matching steel because the distribution for Kick-Ass 2 in the US switched studios from Lionsgate to Universal

Hopefully, I won't like the new artwork so I can skip another purchase. The glossy 4K steelbook I bought from Korea for Kick-Ass 2 does match quite nicely with the 4K steelbook for the first one. I guess it's not a big deal that the sequel steelbook doesn't have a pet slip. I'm skeptical this new 4K steelbook will match the 4K steelbook for Kick-Ass 2.

Exact same cover as the BBY 4K Steelbook. Does it have a different finish or embossing?

As the old version had spot gloss i believe and is really nice. So no need to upgrade for me =)

Basically the same except there is more black in the background of the pet slip? To be honest, I think the first one looks better as the characters stand out more when the pet slip is on. There is more contrast in the colors. The first one also matches the Kick-Ass 2 4K steelbook better with the light gray background. Money saved! It's probably good for anyone who missed out on the first pressing.

 

[Punker76]

Um.... Nah.

 

[Stu123]

Looks ok, but it's not nice enough for me to buy it. Image of Big Daddy looks a bit off.

 

[Flloydo]

Phew. Not a fan

Although the black background looks better than the white background

 

[apsmith21]

Disappointed with this given the streak we had of new art that looks nice
