Hi Ninjas!

*This thread is for nominations only*

Welcome to our 4th annual tradition of the HDN Steelbook of the Year nominuation chat!
Every year, we open a thread so that you can chime in with your own personal picks of what Steelbooks should be included in the VOTING POLL (posted in January 2015), so we all can vote for hidefninja.com's annual tradition of 'Steelbook of the Year'.

In this thread, please list your favorite 3 Steelbooks only , released in 2014 that should be considered for the poll. I will once again tally all of the picks, and rank them by the # of 'nominations' (mentions) they each receive. Only the first 3 you mention will be counted. Please list the Steelbook, the retailer,and the country-be as specific as possible. Feel free to add why you think your 3 choices should be considered, but please do not post more than 3. The top 25 nominated Steelbooks will be included in the poll.

**A list of Steelbook releases can be found here in the 'Upcoming Releases' thread.


After that process is complete, our annual poll will be posted, and you will have the chance to vote for as many choices as you wish-but you can only vote once.

As in previous years, the Steelbook with the most votes will become the community's pick for 'Steelbook of the Year'.

This nominations thread will close 1/10/2015 (all nominations posted until 12:01 mid EST on 1/10/2015), and we will start to vote on 1/15/2015 until 1/31/2015.
Thanks everyone for participating!

Past winners:

2013: Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Zavvi-UK)

2012: The Raid (Play-UK)

2011: Thor (Worldwide)

I am kinda confused, since some are giving their votes to the bare steels while others refer to whole packages.

Still, I'd vote for those 3:

Frozen - Blufans, China (Ultimate Edition)
I Saw the Devil - Plain Archive, Korea (PET Slip)
The Wrestler - Plain Archive, Korea (Full-Slip)

These are my 3 fav steelbooks, would be different if we are talking full packages.

1) I.S.T.D. (plain archive)
2) Frozen (blufans)
3) The Signal (amazon de.)
 
Up Blufans
Drive Mondo
Mars Attacks

It's a crying shame that Up will likely miss the cut, that steel couldn't have been any more perfect.

Geez, this was tough trying to narrow it down to 3! I'll probably change my mind later ;)
My votes are for the steelbook design alone:

1. How To Train Your Dragon - HDZeta

2. Drive - Mondo

3. Mulan - Zavvi



Army of Darknesd was close to also being nominated, but the b&w inner art is what put me off.
 
My opinion:

1. How To Train Your Dragon (HDZeta) - The design of this steel is just pure amazeballs
2. Wreck It Wralph (Zavvi) - Good quality steel with a lovely embossed title.
3. Frozen (Kimchi) - Finish and Quality of this steel is so lovely. Doesn't beat Tangled but that was a 2013 release.
 
1. Leon (KimchiDVD)
2. The Wrestler (PLAIN)
3. The Wolf Of Wall Street (UK)

Runners up:

Drive (Mondo)
Wreck-It-Ralph (Zavvi)
The Pianist (KimchiDVD)
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Zavvi)
I Saw The Devil PET (Plain)
The Pianist (KimchiDVD)
Iron Man (KimchiDVD)
Dallas Buyers Club (KimchiDVD)
There Will Be Blood (Zavvi)
The Fox and the Hound (Zavvi)
Hercules (Zavvi)
Robin Hood (Zavvi)
 
Purely based on the steelbook design and not packaging, my fav 3 -

1. Transcendence (MediaMarket)
2. Wolf of WallStreet (UK)
3. Drive (Futureshop - Mondo)
