Kingsman: The Golden Circle (Possible Blu-ray SteelBook) (Manta Lab Exclusive No.?) [Hong Kong]

Quick update from Manta Lab:

Dunkirk, Kingsman 2 and Alien movies are still under work.

Dunkirk is under approval and Kingsman 2 is under designing.

Alien 1 is under designing as well but it's taking longer because the movie is old and there aren't a lot of resources to choose from.

Thanks. So is Fantastic Beasts or Fight Club next in line?

Quick question: Does this mean Manta will release their takes on the Alien franchise in opposite order to Filmarena? (Besides Covenant, obviously.)

For those who can't see the above:

3. Kingsman: Golden Circle WEA
There's been a lot of enquiries for this release and as you can see in the photo, It's been submitted for the approval. Due to the strict approval process with the second release, we expect it to be a long process for this. As soon as we receive any news, we will update them.
 
I guess that this ist the front art (with a clean white background):

:(
*Kingsman 2*
- Approvals have been quite difficult with this release because our entire designs have been rejected few times. We are working on this again but the release is going to be delayed until later this year.


*Dunkirk*
- There's a good news about this release because we were having problem with the approval from the director but we've heard that the approval process is moving again. We hope to post good news about this release.

*Alien Series*
- TBA, we are working with one of the best illustrators in the industry for our package and hope there's more news on this within this year.

*Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them*
- 50% of production has been finished and we are planning to release it in around October.

*BladeRunner 2049*
- Again... we are rejected with few ideas so we are starting over with the designs. We hope to release this by end of this year.

7. Steelbook Production and feedback
As our customers know that we've been switching back and forth with the steelbook production for our products and we thank everyone for the honest feedback. In our opinion, we are having difficult time deciding which production we want to use for our products because different factories have different pros and cons. Traditionally, we've been using super glossy steelbooks for our products but the problem we've faced was that the super glossy steelbooks have softer coating and it's more vulnerable than the hard coating. Regardless of the production we use, we will continue to QC our product to send out the best products for our customers.
Thank you very much and we hope to publish more good news with our next update.
Best regards,
Manta Lab

I've been searching for a Kingman TGC steelbook. I supose this one is already sold out? This one looks amazing and looks similar to the Manta Lab Kingsman TSS steelbook.

Nope, this one hasn't been released yet. The post above you details how they've had their designs rejected so they put it on the backburner until later this year.
 
Manta Lab updated
Kingsman 2: Design is still in progress. Due to lack of artworks and restriction from the Studio, this is taking longer than usual. All materials are finished except for couple.

I asked John yesterday about whether the Disney/ Fox merger would cause more problems or issues for their Fox releases going forward and this was the response

So looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for Kingsman if it does get approved

Indeed someone asked them about Alita the other day and it seems like they were indeed going to do a WEA version of it but the Fox/Disney merger has kiboshed that as well :(
