Ahaaa. These are bigger words (although colors are more in line with Aliens than with Predator). Better than the FS design.

I like the Collector's folder, that should be the image of E1!

Pass.

Artwork for Maniac Box itself looks the best. Then the plain SteelBook, then E2. E3 is boring and generic. Don't know what to think of the E1.

What’s on the back of the full slip can’t make anything out, is it just jungle?

They are very clever with choosing that artwork for the Maniac Box...

The problem with posters and art, as with many films of that time.

Skinned soldiers hanging upside down from their feet.

e3 looks cool, rest sucks

 

[samdavies]

Yeah I'd only be up for E3, failing that, just the E5 lone steel.

 

[Flloydo]

Meh. They kinda look bootleg. But I get that from a lot of FAC. E3 has the best slip. That ones decent

 

[jonnybobbytimmy]

a bit sad they didnt use this

 

[davhyl]

Any idea of the cost of each edition, shipped? I'm guessing it's a fortune as IRC FAC 4Ks have cost a lot in the past.

Beauty shoots are
But i'm glad this one isn't on my wishlist. More money spared for Holidays, though wallet is dry as pepper.

 

[TheJoker]

Hmmmm, I have the uk steelbook which has the matching E3 rear artwork so would I want to get that artwork again but on a slip. Have to admit, the “luminous effect” is tempting as I went for the glow in the dark Alien editon. ARGH.

How silly. This coming from someone that buys all Mantas They're the king of screenshots.

I’ve always felt this way about FA. Not everything but the majority of their slips look knockoff and bootleg

 

[DMD4k]

Oh I understood what you meant, no need to explain.
But that's the thing, if there's a premium retailer that uses screenshots it's Manta. I don't read your bootleg comments in the Manta threads

All the slips are disappointing and odd to say the least. Probably E3 is the best all rounder.

The back of E1 slip is a joke. They should have put the luminous art from the rear of E3 on that. Or why not just put a full shot of the Predator standing or something? Anything but the skinned body... :/

E2 is just God awful altogether. The less we say about that the better!

They kept the best artwork for the Maniacs box. That would have made a cool full slip IMO.

What to do....
