[Real Steel]

They are hoping to make a quick buck thinking that we would buy because we would need to add it to our collection no matter what. UK and Germany just don't do steelbooks the way Canada does.

Had they lost the floating heads this would have been a stellar Steelbook.

 

[Bobthesub]

I agree, without the floating heads the front would be great, I prefer the inside art to the HMV one but the back isnt great....for once a zavvi release I wont be buying as Im happy with my HMV steelie

 

[BigBlizz]

Back sucks, inside is nice, front would be A LOT better if it just was Thor. Why copy the amaray version. I still think ppl will buy it, and I'm happy it's different art, but disappointing

 

[alvinhwang21]

nothing will touch the original releases, this artwork will only make the first release more sought after !

 

[jimmyv]

Looks great to me. I think people have become too picky with steelbook art. I don't like poor designs either. Sixth Sense was awful until they changed it. Princess Bride was disappointingly underwhelming compare to the possibilities. But Wreck said they had to use previously approved artwork on this new Thor steel. I think the artwork here represents the movie well. The slipcover I have is the same so I will happily upgrade to a steelbook with inside artwork.

Just like Captain America, I am in for this with no hesitation. Zavvi is helping make a full Avengers steelbook collection possible for me and I think that's pretty cool.

Floating heads Yes, sometimes there are only a limited # of different artworks that the studio will approve, and often without modification. I am not sure if I'll pick this up, as I have the 1st one, but I am still glad to know it's not the same.

A bored and some embossing on the title and I'll prefer this to the original

 

[eynon]

I much prefer this over the Captain America steel, it's only the back that I'm really not liking.
Not an easy pass for me, nor an easy buy.

 

[moonbucket]

I have to get this for my Marvel collection, but it's not exceptional. I was hoping for the frame around the outside to match the others and the title embossed.

The other Thor Steelbooks are going to retain their value easily.

 

[pi2loc]

A big NO.

 

[Afterdeep]

Even checking those pictures were waste of time for me

[Scarface]

pass for me, even without the floating heads it wouldn't appeal to me, the back art is horrible too but its good for anyone after a Thor steelbook.

 

[Vaako]

can't compete with the first release so easy pass for me

 

[Drew]

Damn what a weak looking steelbook

 

[meaner]

Back is awful

 

[jitstark]

The back art is very lackluster but that inside art is a great choice.

 

[slashemup85]

£15.99 is better than the price the hmv exclusive is on ebay . Finally I will get Thor on steelbook .
My mortal form grows weak !

 

[morfeusz]

All day at work and I miss that one. Or two
