And for the final picture, next to the FAC XL Full Slip:

My feelings are a bit mixed. The lentis are alright, but nothing to write home about, to be honest. The lenti on the front is just a bit too dark. I can't help but think it would have made for a great regular full slip, with all the texturing and embossing Manta usually pull off on their slips. Still, the transition effect is quite nice. The steelbook with its debossed title looks superb and I love the colors. However the artwork seems to lack some sharpness. I understand this is supposed to be underwater, but still. There're a few scuffs on my copy (both on the slip as well as on the steel). Maybe that's why I'm a bit disappointed, too. Or maybe it's just because of Manta's prior release to this one (The Greatest Showman), which was superb in every way. Anyway I'm still happy I got it.

I've seen at least 10 steels with scratches on. Haven't opened mine yet. I thought Manta had sorted the issue out and switched suppliers

I suppose hairlike scratches are almost unavoidable with super glossy steelbooks.. my pans labyrinth kimchidvd had many of those too and i doubt there are many if any mint copies.. luckily it doesnt bother me too much

Awesome photos/video as always!

Really wish I'd gone for the lenti now... every time I look at my full slip with the awful holofoil I just end up sighing lol.

 

[Vangeli]

Paid invoice! Don't want to start a thread-clogging "I did as well!" but I'm just worried I did something wrong with the process lol.

Also wow this is a gorgeous release after having a look at these photos. Excited to receive mine!

Cant wait to see unveiling of the one click to see if the unique concept works?

My FS rolled up yesterday and I’ve gotta say I love it, quite gorgeous indeed The artwork is beautiful with really nice shading plus I might be in the minority but I really like the gold-holofoil and the effect when the light catches it. The steelbook is a Stunner, very glossy and loving the Manta debossed title treatment, keep it up guys Also to further protect my Steel as it’s quite fragile I placed it inside a SC2 and then reinserted it back into the Slip. Since these Manta Slips are abit higher and this steelbook originally was a loose fit using the protector now makes it all a snug fit and is still easy enough to remove the contents.
