I much prefer the back to the front of the OC but what bothers me most about the OC is it's the regular Manta Lab size so even though it only houses 2 fullslips there's a sheet of foam to take up the space of a third. Nothing says premium more than just reusing the same size boxes.

I think the art choice for the steelbook front was about as perfect as it's going to get but I've never liked repeated art so it also being the front of the DL is a shame, he rear lenticular is nicely done, very sharp and nice separation but not the most exciting image ever.

Finish of the steelbook is excellent as usual, not sure what to make of the back design, not that appealing but whatever.

What’s the FS finish like? Does the DL transition?

I just need to see the FS finish properly to make a decision on what one to eventually go for
 
Posted some details of the FS on reddit. I love the finish as it's a mixture of rough matte and glossy, just like it was on The Batman.

Cheers, what’s wrong with posting them here?

Ah man I wasn’t expecting a course/ rough finish. Don’t even mention it in the description. I’m glad the Furiosa full slip used it well and minimal. Was expecting smooth matte and gloss here. I don't like the art anyway and this is such a poor release that maybe I’ll just go for the DL when I see it mega mega cheap even though the steel art is repeated
 
One thing I would like to see change and this isn't a complaint about this release but rather all of them, is the finish on the steelbook is so delicate it gets those horizontal scratches from being inserted/removed no matter how gently you handle the steelbook.

Some felt inside the fullslip would probably avoid this, alternatively if that causes size issues then all it'd require instead would be a thin sheet of paper/plastic as there's usually a booklet to cover one side of the steelbook.

Not the end of the world it's just annoying that the high gloss finishes that are so popular get slightly damaged everytime you want to handle them.

I sent you a PM how you can avoid such scratches.
