Just found some of my files for mocking up custom SteelBooks in 2019, these would’ve been the interiors for the three. Interesting to see the second and third used for the rear instead here.

So are the 3 movie in the same OC for Manta or just 4 in a box elsewhere?

Am kinda lost
4 in a steel box, like Rambo, Mad Max, is going to be a worldwide studio release.
Mantalab should release them individually, maybe with a couple different fullslips each.

I definitely would've preferred your chosen image for The Matrix over what they've gone with, since yours continues the theme of using actual scenes from the films for the rear art.
 
After a long day of blurry batman brain these are starting to grow on me a lot more. I’ve come to terms that we will never get a perfect matrix steel. And the front imagery is really growing on me on these. And the finish will of course help.

I just prey we get some poster art on the slips.

Please please give me this on a SL

Such a shame they didn't do classic poster art on the steel, what they've produced feel like premium WWA releases :LOL::rofl:

Unlikely to get that for the FS. It's already on the rear of the steel lol agreed on the main theatrical poster for a lenti though, always loved it.

Durrrr of course

Hmm, don’t leave much. Unless they tamper themselves with an existing artwork or something new

It doesn't does it. Thats the issue with old ass films, so little usable poster art. 2010 onwards, every shtt flick has 17 posters :notworthy:

Come to think of it. Look at dune. Still a chance they could use that a slip as it’s proper image
 
I love how clean these are, and I can imagine how the code on these will stand out and glow in the dark. All in for these!

Fair point. Those are 2 different poster variants though aren't they? Not that I'm complaining either way. I've bought the dune FS and would slso buy that matrix FS.

That is true. The main image is the same. The floating heads. But the background colour and lower section changes

Yeah same. Went FS with dune too
 
I’m sure the manta schedule only mentioned Matrix and Matrix 4 as releases. Since they have now revealed matrix 2 and 3 steels, does this mean we are getting a trilogy release and a matrix 4 release, or 4 separate releases?
