If that is the final artwork, I think I will have to cancel my copy. A shame, as this steelbook could have been epic!

Updated OP with artwork.

This is hands down THE worst steelbook design. Sorry guys, even worse than the FS Spiderman steels.

Impossible. Nothing is worse than those. Not even the German Touchstone 'white' wave

Likewise

 

[Pavers123]

It's a shame they just seem to have taken the poster for the film and put it on the front.

I do like the inside, it works very well, I think, since it goes across both parts of the steelbook effectively. But, as people have mentioned, the back is almost identical, which is the same as what happened to the Kill Bill steelbook.

It's a shame that this wasn't as good as it could have been, I'd love to have it to further near a complete Tarantino steelbook collection, but guess I'll stick to the petrol can version for now.

 

[Man of Steelbooks]

Yeeeaaaahhh, this is probably a cancel now.

Why is it that the people in charge of artwork always get it the wrong way round when it comes to either keeping poster artwork or doing something different? All the bad posters get used while all the iconic ones (ROBOCOP) don't get any love.

 

[vurt]

Well, I had put an order in hoping that awful artwork would change but as they've stuck with it I'll cancel!

 

[Andy CYP]

Not going to lie. Cancelled mine to. Will stick with my fuel can.

 

[Manny10210]

Yep, that's a cancel from me too! Could have been epic... I just hope From Dusk Till Dawn is and if they ever do a True Romance steelbook! They won't look too bad next to the Reservoir Dogs petrol can

 

[tenderheartbear]

The front looks like the old US VHS tape which I don't actually mind (although I'd probably remove the black figures from it).

The back could do without the brushed metal effect. Just blur the background if you're going to go down that route and more to the point... I love the inside but honestly? It's too similar to the back.

So in summary, sticking only with the images provided, I'd take the figures of the front, put them on the back with a white background and leave the inside as it is.

 

[Grapey]

Oooh, hello! Keeping mine - I shall display it Michael Madsen side to the front :boobies:

 

[ABjerg]

Steelbook is too simple and plain for my liking. It's like Zavvi doesn't even care with this one. They gotta remember, quality over quantity!

Defiantly not worth a buy. Hey everybody, let's boycott this ugly b*tch!

 

[SaberTooth]

well its good art for this one blows as it means money saved

 

[bantha11]

why are the back and inside from pretty much the same scene?

 

[triangle]

Indeed, I might have to keep trying to get the german SB.

 

[Jango]

why are the back and inside from pretty much the same scene?

i thoght exactly the same, was impressed by the backart and than i saw the inside :/ meh but i can stick my own inside in it so no big deal

 

[chilean]

Wow the front cover looks like something I could have pulled together in less than 5 min. Is Zavvi hiring steelbook designers?

P.S. Probably going to cancel if this artwork sticks around

 

[XXHAPPY GILMORE]

Same scene or not, i like it

 

[blumark007]

Well I'm not one for moaning, life's too short. This is a really lazy effort. Any one of the many ninjas on here who can dabble in a bit of graphic design could and have done better. Zavvi could take a lesson from a few of the guys on here. This is not up to it and this could have been so so good. IMO if your going to keep banging out steels as fast as they are at least make the effort. Lets be fair some of the latest steels are excellent form Zavvi but this well it just stinks. I'll still order one though which TBH is all they care about ££££££££££££
