6pm today print run is alot bigger than 5k on this

Confirmed? Thought they'd match Aladdin.

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

I love the art but it does big me that on this and Aladdin they've used an updated illustration rather than the actual character designs from the movies - sort of betrays the movies in a way...

Confirmed? Thought they'd match Aladdin.

Yup. Wreck confirmed its a slightly higher print run but cant disclose the actual amount at this time.

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

Slightly is ok, my quoted post said a lot higher..

 

[Henke007]

Silly news about increased printruns . Dunno about the combination of high price and that though should be the other way around really..

Hope IM3 is not more than 5K.

For me i prefer unlimited so that everyone can get this. They should not make anymore amaray version

If you really want everyone to get this, then they should keep making amaray's. Not everyone has extra money to spend on a steelbook packaging. A lot of people don't give a F about steelbooks and don't want to pay the extra 5-10 GBP because of its packaging... So amaray's will always be there... Most people buy the normal/amaray version.

does anyone think that the artwork will change..
i only asks because it does not make sense to have Shere Khan the tiger in that picture
he is the villain .. not part of that group
the look on his face is the one that Bagheera the panther would have and he should be on the cover to..in place of shere khan

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

Looks pretty final, but I agree...it's sort of misleading, like the artist hasn't seen the movie.

i like Shere Khan on the cover, watch how pissed he looks, just awesome.

Sorry, I was referring to Kaa. Would've been cool to have had the sly look on his face.

Anyway, it pisses me off how they haven't used the original illustration style:

Instead, opting for the style used for the sequel which I wouldn't be PAID to watch even once!

There's a problem here.

 

[Pawl250]

So when someone says increased print run, are we not talking 5k? Instead of the 4k Aladdin originally had at start of retail?

Or we talking 6k - 7k

 

[TakingYoSteelz]

Prob 7k.

 

[Dhiraj1]

I have a feeling this will be a 8-10k print run.

 

[Pawl250]

If so, I doubt this will sell out.

I have ordered 5 for family and friends of the new disney steels, will these be cancelled?

I am worried they will cancel and then sell out leaving me without a steelbook I desire?

if you look at the platinum dvd version it have nearly the same style of artwork as the steelbook:

and to be honest i think the new coverart style looks way better on a steelbook than the older ones, the fuller and richer colours could come really great with a glossy finish.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

I have a feeling this will be a 8-10k print run.

Yeah, I would go with either 8,000 or 10,000 for a non shared print run...

I agree, Mowgli looks stoned! Still, nicer than the Aladdin art tho; Aladdins face still bugs me

 

[JakubAsgard]

Is it too soon to ask what the languages and subtitles will be on this one? I'm asking because Aladdin had multiple languages and subtitles tracks (even Czech, which was a surprise). So I'm hoping this will be the same... that would make up for a bit higher price.
