Wow maybe this has actually leap frogged Fight Club then

Like my ninja @Flloydo I'm fluent in Gibberish. I can also speak some of that universal language called Love. I'm still in the process of learning Sign language though; it's really hard it seems. Every time i sign something, people get angry and go off on me.

Same here, when I throw the bird people chase me

ML needs to improve their slip quality.

What exactly do you want them to improve upon? I think their slips are on par with Novamedia, who usually have the best quality.

 

[misformatt]

ML needs to improve their slip quality. Also pricing is key. Most of their releases are selling for low prices elsewhere. I think FA have stolen the Logan crown from Manta already.

I'm always puzzled when you post this. In what way are Manta's slips lacking? I don't own them all, but the dozen or so I do have are all top drawer. Their full slips are especially good.

The Man of Steel transition lenti was underwhelming (but a neat concept) and the PET lentis seem to have an inherent limitation to their depth, but the 'standard' Manta lentis I own are all on equal footing with Nova/Blufans/Kimchi's best. And the backs of the lenti slips are always given treatments as well, which isn't always the case with releases from the other big hitters. When Manta dropped the o-rings in favor of the full slip lentis, they jumped to the top of the heap, imo.

 

[tommyh84]

All my Manta releases are still sealed but in terms of texturing and attention to detail they all appear to be up there with the best from Nova and Kimchi, maybe when unsealed it's a different story?

This was sent to me this morning from manta regarding Logan and La La Land. Hope they don't mind me sharing this

"For Logan, we should be releasing information soon. There's couple materials that need approval but steel is already in production so we should be able to reveal more materials soon."

"La La Land is under approval and almost finished as well."

Always learn curse words, and derogatory phrases first.
(Plus, foreign speakers always appreciate the novice learning oblique phrases. You will be greeted warmly by learning phrases such as "How salty are your sister's elbows?", "My wife is out of Iron wire, can you put her in a tuba?", and "Your eyes are fourteen, so I'll eat wood and sit on your eggs.")

Hoping it is done right at least for @Actarus. Otherwise I would have to call it BLa Bla BLand lol.

Lol

I think there are a few looking forward to their la la land including myself. They told me they reakon I will love it lol so hopefully they are right. And they are very aware of how the UK & US steels look.
I have a hunch it will be Simular to the UK steel but with @Noodles concept art. So basically same colour scheme but the dance image instead of the kiss.
Could be wrong though

 

[C.C. 95]

Exactly.

I wonder what happened to Fight Club.. it was even announced before Mitty..

 

[Flloydo]

Might be after Logan and la la land or inbetween them, they can always change the exclusive number around. Might be having trouble getting art approved. I'm not sure, haven't asked them in a while.

I've got to reply back soon anyway because there was a lot of Info on their last email which they have taken the time to write to me so I might ask them. I don't like to make it out like I'm rushing them when I ask them questions, I like their pace compared to some premium retailers

Someone could always ask on social media though

I have to agree, Manta's slips are top quality. They are equally as good as all other retailers. The lenti quality is up there with the best IMO.

 

[yeslek]

Still no news for this.. And they said it will be release on July...

most Asian retailers turn steels around within a month from ordering to shipping, so could still happen (some ship only a week after ordering)

I dunno - both my Miss Perigrine and Constantine lentis of Manta's are great IMO

LMAO
I know exactly what you mean

 

[asda1994]

If I buy this I'm correct in saying that hmv won't have the steelbook later down the line

 

[lgans316]

No because no Steelbook release is safe these days.

There might be a Lenti version of this
