SteelBooks™ with Unique Embossing/Debossing

I thought It would be cool to have a list of all the Blu-ray Steelbooks with unique or intricate embossing/debossing. The master list of embossed/debossed steelbooks is here

What do I mean by "unique embossing?" I mean a Steelbook that is different from the normal square boarder with an embossed/debossed design different from the norm, i.e. just the title. A good example would be Jurassic Park Trilogy (DE) or Hunger Games D12. This would also include Steelbooks with embossing/debossing on both sides.

What do I mean by "intricate embossing?" I mean a Steelbook which may or may not have the square boarder but has some very detailed embossed/debossed design. Example: Iron Sky (DE/NL) or again Jurassic Park Trilogy (DE).

Many Steelbooks will fall under both categories, so I will just keep one list and not separate ones.

+ 2 sided
* 3 levels of embossing/debossing

Here are some that I thought were marginal. What do you guys think?

- The Dictator (DE MM exclusive) This one would be unique because they used the square frame as a frame
- Jurassic Park Trilogy (US/CA)


Any others?

CA Inglourious Basterds has pretty unique debossing treatment on the title. The Fighter CA had raised paint effect lettering so sort of embossed. Definitely pretty unique too

 

[Sigill]

Im not sure I would class the Dictator as unique as such because it is just a standard border. 1408 DE has the debossed keyhole.

 

[bgmat58]

I think 1408 is a good addition as well. But I also think The Dictator does fall under "unique" because it is just plain awesome.

HeLL BoY II (de) is nice embossed or debossed ??

 

[ocielz]

The Expendables Directors Cut and Death Race both from Germany

ADDED:
- The Expendables (DE MM exclusive)
- Death Race (DE)
- Zimmer 1408 (DE)

I made an "honorable mentions" section for these. If we start including Steelbooks where only the title is debossed we could pretty much include every debossed Steelbook.

ADDED:
Honorable mentions:
- Inglourious Basterds (CA) - Only the title is debossed
- Hellboy II (DE) - Only the title is debossed
- The Dictator (MM DE) - Too "normal"?

I would still like to hear more opinions about The Dictator. I think that having the frame (part of the art) embossed is the same as having the keyhole (part of the art) on Zimmer 1408 debossed. Thats just my reasoning though. I put in the honorable mentions for now


Another thing... If you guys could include pics or links with your nominations that would be great

I reckon Battle Royale (Play.com) needs to be added now. That's some pretty unique and awesome debossing going on there

Thanks for jogging my memory

I added another one for second opinion: Jurassic Park Trilogy (US/CA - G1) I couldnt find a good enough picture to say how intricate the embossing is

 

[jaszeron]

Can I suggest Coffret Gremilns (FR). Yes I know it's a Jumbo and has a standard frame. but not only are all the words embossed (Coffret Gremlins Contient Gremlims + Gremlin 2) especially the "+" but Gizmo is embossed too. AHHHHHH

That would be amazing if it wasn't a jumbo

 

[Sirjump]

The AC/DC oversized Tin... and Righteous Kill (Swedish) - the shield is pretty nicely embossed!

 

[surfury]

That would be amazing if it wasn't a jumbo

Only trouble is, it would be G1 though as WB so for some "Devil or the Deep blue sea". Either's OK with me.

Forget it guys, nothing compares or even comes close to Crysis 2 Nano Edition. Steelbook is embossed everywhere:
