Which Iron Man Steelbook do you prefer???

[Drum18]

Title says it all.
As the title says, it's the one YOU PREFER, not the necessarily "the best". It's YOUR OPINION and you need to respect other's. There can be discussions, but remember, not all needs to agree

FS or Play, simple colours but effective

Guys, I have a serious question...






How do you organize your Iron Man steelbooks ? It's so much, with the FS and the Play.com and the Kimchi, and now TWO Blufans!

Alphabetically by release company, chronologically by release, or in your own order of acquisition?

If the Play version if they had used the same color red as the FS version I think it could have edged it out. However, that is not the case and to me FS is still the king, but any of them are great choices and would look great in anyone's collection.

The new school takes the cake, BLUFANS is the real boss when it comes to IM steel IMO. It's amazing that their lackluster lenti still beats Kimchi (so far) in the polls. For me, my choice is Blufans 1/3 slip. 2nd best is play.com which boasts an amazing using of colors. Kimchi steelbook takes the last place.

wish I could, but Iron Man is the Marvel Character that I do not like(that is just how I feel), was not even able to get past 20min in the 2nd movie before I stopped it, and I don't know why but it just doesn't hit home, I don't even like his part in the Avengers...it doesn't spark any interest in me, I do not own any and haven't paid any attention to any releases. sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Easy answer... you build a majestic throne (where Blufans 1/3 slip will seat comfortably of course), then u put play.com in a prince chair. Let's not forget IM FS (the grail) which will be put on a separate smaller throne (past glory), you can do whatever arrangement you want with all the rest, but you already know who the last position belongs to.

It's all fun and games guys [\SPOILER]

FutureShop ... thicker gauge metal from the golden age , no popping sound on the "IRON MAN" lettering. Gotta respect the OG original if not ... then we might as well give the crown to the Iron Man to come in 2016.

But if you love Iron Man ... own them all.

 

[mr blue]

not sure which version it's called, but going by the choices shown in the thread picture I would go for the one with Iron Man showing his hand and the black background

 

[villadelrefugio]

My favorite is this one because it is the only one I have for the first film

And for a good deal, I thought!

 

[tokaman]

I prefer the Play.com release it just has that classic feel to it, very nice indeed.

 

[DJHilalo]

Got dem all and FS one is and will always be THE best IM steelbook out there, nothing will touch it!! everything about it oozes quality, so all other releases can keep their alluring slips and extras as the KING is ALIVE!! haha

 

[Tacozilla]

Play UK is probably my fave, mainly due it's nice art, cheap price (at time of release) and that it was one of my first steelbooks when I started collecting...when I ordered it from Play.com all those years ago I had no idea it would sell out so fast lol

 

[monsterzebra]

My current favourite is the Play.com-exclusive... but that may change the day i own the Future Shop one..
Still hoping to find it for a reasonable price one day..

..one day..

 

[keyjey]

I only have Blufans and Kimchi but if given a chance I would trade both for Future shop version in a heart beat. The colors on FS and play version are fantastic. And after that BF and Kimchi can fight it out for 3rd and 4th place.
