I guess it is unclear at this point if this will contain the 4k version? If so, it remains to be seen if this will be the StudioCanal or the Sony disc.
 
It was overkill because of re releases and dressed up WWA. When you look at what blufans did, nova did and weet do it’s not overkill. It’s just everything else as a bigger picture makes it look overkill (like constant zavvi rereleases and mondo). And it’s no different for DC. Manta and Zeta are always in competition with the designs of those films. And then you get the dressed up packages too from other places.

But marvel has 5/6/7 times the amount of films so it looks more/ worse.

I do agree with you tho, it’s refreshing to not have constant marvel announcements at the moment.

Yeah again, I meant it all even with all the re releases and dressed up wwa, Marvel everywhere....now it's finally quiet, and we see more stuff like this Leon etc....
cool, but kimchidvd release is probably one of the best ever.. cant see them beating it with their usual approach of spreading good artwork across 4 different versions (oc included)

I like this kimchidvd reelase but wouldnt call it one of the best ever though....the steelbook is great, but we know Manta is the king with wea steelbooks so Im sure it will be awesome.....and slips, yeah well, kimchi was just that thin o ring slip so Manta will beat that as well :D

well, at the very least it is one my favorite releases ;) it was a oring+another clear slip on top that made it look quite unique.. some of the best releases are thin o ring... memento kimchi, john wick novamnm.. they just dealt differently with artcards or booklets, that no one ever looks at anyways :D

we‘ll see about the manta lab release..not much to improve with the steelbook and especially mantas slips were pretty lackluster lately due to the aforementioned problem of having too many editions

was hoping it was at least 4k uhd, but its only blu-ray :O will probably grab it anyways

But even with overkill marvel releases from blufans and weet etc you’d see manta tackling films like this. It makes no difference in that sense
 
Whoop! Awesome news!

Have both Kimchi versions and the amazing Korean slipbox so very interested in what they're coming up with.

Here's the slipbox just as a reminder:

Every year I have this in my basket in the nova winter sale. I’ve always wanted it. But for some reason never pull the trigger. This is also the art I’m hoping manta use on the front of the steel
 
Oh yeah I forgot it’s that. Damn. Hmm, I can’t see anyone beating that tbh. It’s literally the best art for the film.

There’s some great illustrated arts out there tho from decent artists. The waxwork vinyl art is amazing
i dont even knwo if its my favorite art for that movie, its just that everything works together so well for this release.. something lot of releases lack lately

that vinyl art would look freaking sick on a rough textured paper full slip
