Manta Lab x Disney

[IRON MAN]

Posting here for visibility. Feel free to discuss.

Hi guys, this is John and I hope everyone is doing well. Today, I am very excited and happy to make an announcement that from July, we have become a Consumer Product Licensee for The Walt Disney Company Hong Kong.

More updates and news related to this news will be posted but the biggest reason why we obtained the license was to create Marvel Steelbooks.

More info and details will be shared soon.

Thank you very much.
John

Great news indeed!! Now I just hope John will first concentrate on titles which don't have a zillion releases already, like Iron Man 2 and 3!

 

[larson1977]

WOW, more Marvel. WOW, more shite... WOW, didn't think I would ever pass on a ML releases, guess what...

 

[hatredhorror]

say goodbye to the last retailer that wasnt releasing those generic and uninspired trash movies

 

[Noa245]

This is MAJOR!

I very much get your point. But really would like to see for example Legion TV series steel. Or Punisher. (Have zero idea if they are part of the deal)

Totally agree on this. It's a shame ML is going for safe financial gain (like they all did/do eventually, apparently)

This is great news but I'd prefer them to finish the other scheduled releases before they dive into Marvel

You want ML to release even bigger crap?!?

Tell John he needs to acquire Expanse rights too

For the love of god, true lies. Get true lies.

I am less excited after reading, “the biggest reason why we obtained the license was to create Marvel Steelbooks.” But I get it from their perspective. I’m sure I’ll buy some of them. But so much great stuff comes with a Disney license. Getting more of the same is sorta meh.

If I owned a premium company, it would have read: “the biggest reason why we obtained the license was to create The Black Hole steelbook.”

Great show. That would mean a possible deal with Amazon.

Sorry this does not fit your plans. But you always have Criterion Collection to fall back to.

So right, so right. Would rather buy a exclusive DVD steel of True Lies then a re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release of what's been done before a million times already

And if I owned a premium company, it would realistically have read: “the biggest reason why we obtained the license was to create more MONEY.”

"Alien" franchise at long last? Would love to have 1-4. Shame FAC couldn't go on after 1.

There are Alien franchise steels. FA has done also Prometheus and Covenant. I'm not sure but they might wait for 4K's for others to do special editions. ?

I really want a Black Hole steelbook.

If The Rocketeer and Tron can get one...
