The gold on the inside of the one-click has to be holofoil, right?

Does it? I rather think it's just gold foil.

 

[sunnyx]

One thing I don't like about holo foil they can scratched easily, just like glossy steels. I prefer if they we don't have them now.

That's what I meant actually thank you, wasn't thinking.

Full Slip B
Representing one of the most iconic scenes from the film ... “We should be ******* dead man. This was divine intervention. God came down from heaven and stopped these motherfucking bullets. What happened here was a ******* miracle -- and I want you to ******* acknowledge it.”
Seen on posters and promos ... and even given a Banksy style makeover:-

Final word on the hairstyle ...
Originally planned as an "afro" but later decided by Jackson and Tarantino on a jheri curl (noun: Jheri curl - a black male hairstyle in which the hair is styled into tight ringlets with a glossy finish
Origin - from the nickname of Robert William "Jheri" Redding (1907–98), the American developer of the haircare product used to create the style) + long sideburns, and a fu manchu mustache . . . and who can forget the couch scene from COMING TO AMERICA ...

Damned it, that Art for Slip A could have include the sniffing stuff at the back it would have been complete with an adjustment of the the front art, resulting to the art to own.

Done.

So who reakons the exclusive sticker will be the 10c?

Would be a cool touch considering the steel is missing it (would kinda make up for it imo)

If they put it over Samuel L Jackson's head then it'll be solving 2 problems at once

As can be seen in the alternative Pulp Fiction poster, hair kind of regular here . . . presumably a very early image before the changes were made ...

The changes ...
"Samuel L. Jackson's 'Pulp Fiction' Jheri Curl Wig Was a Happy Accident

January 6, 2016

The Late Show Monday, Samuel L. Jackson and host Stephen Colbert were chatting about the ’fro’s they used to rock back in the day, which lead to Jackson talking about how his trademark Jheri curl in Pulp Fiction was actually a happy accident." data-reactid="22">On The Late Show Monday, Samuel L. Jackson and host Stephen Colbert were chatting about the ’fro’s they used to rock back in the day, which lead to Jackson talking about how his trademark Jheri curl in Pulp Fiction was actually a happy accident.

“Well, Quentin [Tarantino] is this huge fan of blaxploitation films,” explained Jackson. “So in his mind, Jules had this big Afro. And, unfortunately for him, he sent this young, white PA over to South Central to buy an Afro wig. And she bought a Jheri curl wig thinking it was an Afro wig.”

“She brought it back, you know,” Jackson continued. “Quentin kind of railed at her, went off, and I’m like, ‘No, no, no, it’s perfect,’ because NWA is starting to hit, you know, they were large, and all those guys had Jheri curls.”

The hip-hop group NWA helped popularize the hairstyle, but did you know it was invented in the 1980s by a hairdresser and businessman named Jheri Redding? Look him up, you might be surprised to see what he looks like."


OK, penultimate word on the hair ... from the man himself ... in conversation with Michael Keaton:-

Last word on the hair (honestly) ... of course SLJ famous for his hair/wig styles in his films as much as for anything else ... w/ some of his best:-

(just don't get me started on the missing 10¢ "sticker" on the steelbook)

Is this the 1st time they have separate preorders for Domestic and International?

 

[ChrisIW]

I'm glad Nova releases aren't too expensive. It'll take the sting out of buying a premium lenti I don't even like the look of

 

[Covcraig]

Can't unsee Samuel L Jacksons lack of afro in that lenti cover picture now

 

[Maksym]

WTF is with that domestic/international Pre-Orders time???
