The latter (just the gold areas/text), but it's not even really the holofoil we're used to... the best I can describe it is "multicoloured sparkles" lol.

Kinda like this I guess...

It's mosaic gold the same as Nova used on their Jungle Book fullslip. I like the effect, but I can see where you're coming from.

@Noodles , it's just like having what you think is an ugly baby. Hopefully you'll grow to love it.
But my ugly baby is now 5 years old and I still don't love it. :p

Good to know the official term. I don't own Nova's JB edition, so this is the first time I've seen the effect... can't say I'm a fan of it at all unfortunately.
 
Another job well done, Manta Lab!

I had a bit of hope to receive my DL copy on the weekend, too, because the package has entered customs clearing process on Friday. But it didn't make it, so I guess I'll be getting delivery early next week. I'm excited, after having seen all these nice pictures :)

usually it's a blufans thing

That was my first reaction, too!
If I posted a picture, you guys would probably laugh at me for being fastidious, but it's far more striking in reality.

Got mine today. Front lent image looks pretty good to me, on mine anyway. Not sure how it varies copy to copy. Rear lent image however is so-so.

You're right, the rear lenti is not as good as the lenti on the front.
