- Thread starter carllenc

Sorry, but going to have to chip in and say I don't like the slipcover art.
Overall package is fantastic, but the Terminator looks like Chip Hazard from Small Soldiers!!! Especially the hands!!

Under normal circumstances, I'd be inclined to agree with you. However, as @steelbobawny has already pointed out, this is James Cameron's own concept artwork and who am I to argue with a genius of the cinema in respect of his own creation? If it's good enough for the master himself, then it's good enough for me.
That's the first thing that crossed my mind when I first saw the art. It looks like a painting, not at all like a cartoon and certainly not "photoshoppy". The old-school, 80's vibe is definitely there. It looks great.
I would have preferred the original poster/VHS cover for my 80's vibe 
Great overall package, and certainly better than the vanilla version sold elsewhere, but that front art isn't the best. Most of Cameron's art isn't that great to start with.
Should definitely have gone with the original poster art as already mentioned in flull gloss. Front art is stopping this being the best Filmarena release yet.
6 outa 10 when it should have been a 9.5

Yep this 100%.
I reckon FilmArena wont disappoint with the actual quality and finish of the slip. Full slip artwork was always going to be a hard choice as most likely it was going to be existing artwork so im pleased its unique. Its definitely a unique poster but this is a unique 1501 release
Kinda strange when people complain when standard poster artwork is used, then when different art is used people complain too. Can't win I suppose.
I like it and I think in hand it will look even better.

personally i think FA have gone for something different and a bit more out there with the slipcover, personally i will wait till i have this in hand before deciding whether like it or not as a picture at an angle doesn't really show it.
also how many ninjas have said in the past we want something different, something that pushes the boundarys abit rather than the dull normal piece of crap we normally get!
well here it is suck it up
also the overall package looks super for the money!
@harry thanks for the tag buddy
roll on release

So pleased they've gone with the concept art for the slip, truly unique IMO! Can't believe the price of it either!!
Now.... Terminator 3?

and what about T2

If they use the same dated master that Lionsgate has been recycling since 1998 it won't matter if the steelbook is awesome -it'll feel half-assed. Let's get this thing properly restored before putting out a cool steelbook
Interesting full slip. Don't love it or hate it. I'm sticking with my Play steel though as it ironically has a more '80s feel.
