Very nice indeed. Matte but stands out more than you would think.

That's probably just the cellophane!!

Surely that would make it stand out less? It's matte, not glossy lol.

Either way, I'll be getting each edition artwork.

Got both on the way but if this is matte then it’s going back

Fingers crossed the 4K version with better art is glossy

You appear to be correct.
I’ll keep that one tho. Plus it also has the bonus disc.

Not feeling the red one anymore

 

[IRON MAN]

Missed opportunity not to have those glossy. Pass.

 

[goufcustom]

yeah, every time just do matte on the vibrant red, please...

 

[St4rlord]

They are both matte.

Red one is 2D plus bonus.
Dark one is 4K plus bonus.

FA is the best currently with the three formats. Plus gloss and emboss.

BF will prob be nicest steel though.

That's definitely not plain matte.

Looks like a satin or 'zero' finish.....

 

[Blu-devil]

I have the Red one on order. My one is the 3D version.

Pretty sure the dark one also has 2D disk (3 discs)

The reddish/pinkish area on the steelbook in this video is spot glossed in North America.

Arrived today.

Absolutely awful steelbook and finish.

Shame because a nice finish could of saved it. Not received the 4K steel yet but I hope it’s not as bad as this. (Can’t see it being any better except the actual art)

Unusual to have both International VENOM steelbooks in 'Pop Art' style but, anyway, for fans of the red one the current options appear to be:-

UK: BD + Bonus ----------------/ Italy: 4K + BD (includes figurine) ---------/ Nordic countries: 4K + BD --------/ Hong Kong: 3D + BD ------------/India: 4K + 3D + BD + Bonus

France: BD + DVD ----------------------------------------I

Judging by these pics the art looks more than decent - especially the front . . .

. . . but sadly the back looks somewhat streaky:-

Putting taste in artwork aside, the actual matte finish of this stands out and is better than the 4K finish. Both are matte except one (red) pops more than the other.

Fair enough. I’ll be able to compare soon. But this one is a streaky mess

Artworks & finish aren't amazing for either so get an FA order in if you can. Great for variation though.
