Oh wow they’ve gone for the apocalypse now art!! I’ve wanted that forever. But the back is ruined with the screen shot so it will prob be a pass. Full slip looks incredible too and uses the Japanese style illustration that’s used on the zavvi exclusive steel (in a different layout) so I’ll prob go for that.

Steelbook looks excellent too

I rarely like king movies, but this one was excellent and this art is fantastic. I’m probably one clicking it.

Is this gonna be a tough direct buy?

Love the Full Slip and the DL-A. Will be a hard call, if I'm even lucky enough to snag one.

iirc none of the kong/godzilla movies were particularly hard to get..

DL B is a flip lenti on the front FYI,

I think it’s weakest but the front is cool and not the worst I’ve seen. Guessing the green smoke becomes more prominent or maybe kong appears?…

Genuinely done a great job here. I’m not a fan of the front of the OC with the WWA steel art but the back is very cool.

I prob would go for the AN style lenti If the back was better but man I can’t wait to see how that FS turns out. The Godzilla and The New Empire full slips are genuinely incredible in hand

I really love this film and I’ve never seen that steelbook art before (concept art?) so it’s come as a lovely surprise even though I had a hunch this or Mad Max was next

dla reminds me of this apocalypse now poster (featured on novas SL)

edit: ok seems 100% inspired by it when you look at the composition, font etc

Yeah, you're absolutely right, there's definitely an Apocalypse Now vibe in the Kong artwork, some might even say a total rip-off! But it's still nice.

Yep. That was intentional. It's a homage, rather than a rip-off.

These look great! I'm especially liking the steelbook. Shame I've no interest in owning a premium edition for this film.

Yeah, like the ol' saying goes.... "talent borrows, genius steals"

steelbook: a beauty
oc & slips: fantastic!

 

[DonaldDraperX]

what a fantastic release. love this movie. Deciding on FS and DLA but both look incredible.

I already have the FAC, but since FilmArena 'ded', better to have them all from the same company.
Fullslip is too cartoonish, DL-B would've been good, as it's very different from all the previous art used, but the back kinda sucks, can't understand what it is - a dead monster in the woods?
Either way DL-A is the best, as it matches the steelbook nicely, and is in the same retro style.
Seems everyone agrees here, I might even use a GB just in case...

The entire movie is inspired by Apocalypse now!!

Regardless of the slips.....it's the steelbook artwork itself that is the bomb!

Apocalypse Now art for me, great package

A bit of a newbie question here, so apologies. I paid in full for the One Click yesterday, via a Group Buy, but does that still 100% guarantee me a copy? Meaning, how does the person running the GB know for sure that he/she will be able to get a bunch of sets when they go live on pre-sale launch?
