Side by side. HMV and Zavvi.

Can you show one with the backs, side by side please?

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

New one is miles better. I never understood the hype with the original. A plain matte black steel with a glossy thor on the front isnt that impressive....

Unless it all comes down to ebay resale value

 

[D4vem88]

Backs

 

[Sinthetic]

Not the best quality. My friend Ricster will be displeased to see the streaky matte finish appear here.

Don't like the new 1. Fingers crossed the demand drops for the original so I can Yoink it for a bargain

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

The back on the old one is the only thing i like with it. It looks too good for the front, doesnt fit the steel much.

 

[Netclone]

We can't please everyone

 

[MrKrabs2013]

matte finish not again
it would be a so good steel if it was glossy

 

[Gamesgaryjp]

I actually preferred matte steels but now it would be a nice surprise to get a glossy one

 

[BluSteel2012]

No gloss at all? Spot gloss even?

Its better than expected, but still prefer my original 3D Steelbook.

Mine arrived today, much better in hand than I imagined it would be

If the back was somewhat decent and this had gloss, it could have gave the original a serious run for its money....actually it would be a bit better. But this one as it is falls short.
Now the new Cap steel flat out loses to its original.

for me i think i prefer the front of the zavvi then at the back i will go for HMV exc.

Thanks for the pics guys. I guess I'm not too picky because I really like it. I can't wait to get my copy.

Have you got the original? It's one of the finest steelbooks released. Just holding it in the hand and you can tell it's high quality, feels like much heavier gauge.

The matte finish is thick, full and inky black. None of this pasty, streaky powdered crap you get nowadays. Spot gloss makes Thor stand out and the shine on the back is just something else. I also think the artwork is very stylish all round. Personally I'm not a fan of the 'floating heads' on the new one. You can tell it's just the amaray artwork re-used.

Still, this does look decent for the price and I'm happy that those who missed out on the original can get this for a retail price to go with their Avengers collection.

[hatredhorror]

[ricster]

Looks pretty good. Hope mines waiting when I get home
