I'm actually more interested in the Thor 1/4 slip. I'm hoping for an outstanding slip.

No Taiwan make Outstanding 1/4 slips, Blufans make attempts at it

all Blufans Marvel 1/4 slip that I have seen so far are unappealing and I am someone who loves 1/4 slips.
I am saying this as a 1/4 slip Collector Lover ...
they do great Lenti, they should stick to this.

yeah totally agreed with @Actarus seemed lately their 1/4 attempts are not well-considered / crafted, (IMHO) it seemed they just do it to complete the set ... see how ZDT PA 1/4 Lenti as how excellent 1/4 slip could be...

exactly, They feel rushed, no care and attention and Creativity put into them.

 

[charleybusko]

What you both have stated is factual, except for Iron Man which was outstanding. I'm more so looking forward to the Thor 1/4 slip because the steel itself is amazing. As I stated in my initial comment, I'm hoping for an outstanding slip.

Finally received this yesterday from HDN GB. Massive thanks to @Wreck and @cooey.

The front cover with the spot gloss is fantastic. The back cover less so. The lenticular has great depth but the monochrome red of it leaves me distinctively UNIMPRESSED. I was much more happy with the excellent lenticular images for CA1 and CA2. This red lenticular is pretty insipid compared to the other 2 and trails way way behind Novamedia's lenticular cards.

Honestly, this release is a monster! For me the steel is one of the best I have in my collection. The spot gloss is absolutely beautiful and so smooth. As I also have the WWA release I actually think the blufans is slightly better, particularly for the front.
Wished for a flawless copy but unfortunately have a mm scratchy on the front and two very minor and barely noticeable paint chips. However, I love it

Oh man! Was it not until you removed the shrink wrap that you could see them?

For me, I have been quite unimpressed by the steel from the beginning. But I got one anyway The clouds are pointless IMO and overall a distraction from the main character. I can barely remember the scene on the back of the steel. Off course the slip box is nice but this is no improvement over the original.

Glad I'm not the only one! Yep should have used the international theatrical poster same as Cap1/2. Great steel very boring lenti.

@NoDingsNoScratches sorry mate for your lenti all scratched up, it seems theses types of issues started right about Frozen (Scratches or micro Scratches on lentis) ...and it seems common ever since. This is why I am hoping that GOTG is Perfect as I think it's about time they get their act together... everybody raves about THOR but I hear paint chips and lenti scratches which doesn't feel quality release to me...frankly I am scared of getting my order.

and @psychoscot and @StifflersDad I agree Lenti should not have been a Head Shot like he is going to apply for his Driver's Licence.

If the lenti had to be a head shot, they might as well have had Thor wink at the ladies.

Exactly. Not visible with the shrink wrap on...

I got delivery today of my original order that was sent to the UK by mistake and was posted 27 days ago

Blufans already have sent me another Thor Lenti steelbook with correct destination of Ireland on May 6th which is still in transit


The Steelbook I received today the spine has paint chips and the envelope holding the artcards is marked

Hopefully the replacement order that's still on its way to me arrives with no damage
It was already agreed if I got delivery of both parcels at their expense to return one of them

Its a beautiful steelbook but annoying to get one with the spine in bad shape
