The only thing I really dislike about the new artwork is that the colours are dull... there's just too much grey! Shame about the spine too, but I can learn to live with that, as I did with the Avengers steelbook.

 

[henry00x]

honestly thinking about canceling this, not digging this new design

 

[Vaako]

very disappointing

 

[blu-steel]

You guys are not going to cancel. It's Thor 2. You going to get a cheap ass plastic case instead? LOL.

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Exactly. IM3 is a terrible looking Steelbook. The back and front doesn't go well with each other. It looks like 2 disjoint sides stuck to each other.

I don't mind that so much....the matte finish just really kills the colors on this one. They could have adjusted for this so the matte colors were not so dark and washed out but they didn't and it just shows how little thought and effort was put into that steelbook.

I'm not canceling because I never ordered it.

I have been on the fence waiting to see what else will be offered on this one. Still going to wait it out.

 

[tono06]

well with the art changing is a no buy for me, he looks like he's jumping out of bed in pajamas...lol i ll just buy the regular version and put it together inside of the first steelbook....

 

[darksider]

I think it looks good.

I love the Smurfs FS steelbook which has no title on cover nor on spine just like this one.

 

[mr blue]

don't like the lack of spine title, never mind a new version will get released shortly afterwards

Mass produced WW art and insanely high print runs say we can cancel and buy for a far lower price months later ....almost every time :movie:

Pre-ordering major releases will be even more pointless in 2014 than it was in 2013 :movie:

 

[zesty]

hmmmm will decide closer to release date

Could have looked nice wrapped around

 

[matthewtheunicorn]

If you're unsure, cancel, see what it looks like in hand and then order again if you like it

 

[monkeyspinach]

I'd have liked this design more if his facial expression matched his pose. You don't jump through the air, about to bring a lightning infused stone hammer down on some poor fella with such a disinterested expression.

Thor would.

You mean like kick ass 2, JFK, PAIN & Gain and oh errrrrr Worlds end

 

[gregavfc]

Not sure how I feel about this.

The lack of title is annoying, but a really vibrant red on the cape could make up for it.

 

[The Angry Jock]

Oh yes, that's more like it.

 

[nkb32]

My mind is blown at the amount of people that are fine with this design. It doesn't even match one of the two Thor steelbook designs. And the argument as to why no title is ok is ridiculous as well. I open my steelbooks so a j card means nothing and I dont have massive shelf and display space to have my steels facing frontwards. I will definitely cancel as I think this will look very stupid sitting next to my Thor HMV. I know we all have different tastes but Im positive 99% of the people that like this wouldn't object to a normal spine if it originally had one since that is what we nave been accustomed to with physical media from the beginning. But all in all, I just want some consistency with my Avengers franchise steels and this is a fail.

reckon worked out why its got no name on it, if you look at the thread for german one studios decided to call that film thor the dark kingdom and this be a reason why one steel worldwide art and they just change j cards depending which country they sticking it to. Yes its disney getting cheap saving money again.

which is a real shame think i may cancel near release date not before, if enough people did this zavvi may find they have alot of stock stuck with them and maybe price will be lowered.

bear in mind zavvis pricing pre-ordering high then drop prices a week or two later after available to buy on multiple occassions this year which has kicked me on lots of occasions.

The one thing i do find truly amazing for a limited edition zavvi hasn't pinned its colours to the mast on the run there having of this, its just limited to how many people pre-order with an amount on top me thinks.

Pretty sure it'll be the same artwork in all countries, so I'll wait for the french Auchan exclusive edition.
