I can't believe I am saying this, but the WWA looks better judging by the steel art itself (without the slip packaging).
I think the gloss finish and debossing will make this one the best for now. The streaky matte finish ruined the other WWA steelbooks that were previously released - at least in my opinion.

The original steels were zero varnish at the insistence of the manufacturer. Having seen the metal running sheets for this new gloss version & the way we set up the white hit, they look really strong (in my opinion)
Even though artwork and finishes are always subjective, I think people will really see a difference despite the fact we're on a very similar colour palette.

Sounds great. Do you have any information on the finish of the upcoming shaun of the dead 20th anniversary steelbook, please?
 
Shaun is also gloss, no emboss work - artwork selected specifically by filmmaker as one of his favourites.
excellent, thank you. I know this is specifically an anniversary release, but are there plans to release hot fuzz and world's end in the same style? as the artist did matching pieces for all 3 films.

The little cornetto on the spine gives me hope. I’d love all 3 with these posters personally
 
Worth mentioning that the white hit on this Oppenheimer steelbook is also a lot lower saturation than the original two, so as well as being brighter with the varnish, there's also more of a metallic shine coming through.
It's still subtle but I think people will be happy when they get these in hand in November - I'm looking forward to seeing the response.

What's the worldwide print run? I just want to feel like we're in the early 2000s, if you say "10,000". :D

Hopefully metallic shine doesn't mean bare metal like so many orange steels suffer with
