Nice

 

[Flloydo]

Easy pass. Got the same front on the old steel

 

[sbarker]

Not a complaint but Ash somehow looks like an action figure on the back.

Same here. Plus the Ash art on back looks a little wonky.

What I'd love to see is cover art, or perhaps a fullslip, looking down the barrel of Ash's shotgun, with Ash in the background, arm over the stock. Blood covering his face. Right about the same he says "Swallow this". That would look epic IMO.

That'll be Evil Dead 2 then

Absolute c*u*n*t*s using identical front as previous steel lol

This happens all the time with re-releases.

We don't even know the finish yet. If this is glossy with debossed title it will be completely different looking.....

Pass. Much prefer the old UK steel, and it sounds like the exact same 4K disc we've already got.

 

[sbarker]

The mock up is out of alignment because they've cropped in slightly, the title is slightly to the right...

Not a complaint but Ash somehow looks like an action figure on the back.

Yeah, it's a nice image, but the surroundings and lighting are 'artificial' looking, that's why it feels like a figure.

Spoiler: Action figure rant

I wouldn't mind such a figure, btw, but anything with proper actor likeness costs about $500, and includes various limb movements, props, a 100 accessories and 'hands', etc, which I'll NEVER need – I'm not going to play with it like a child with a doll, making different poses. I just want a proper looking figure in one pose from polystone or whatever, for no more than $100.

The shot on the back is one of a number of promotional pieces released when the film first released. They're all kinda 'studio set' looking but cool none the less! I'm happy they chose it
