Didn't buy the first one...hell, I didn't even watch it. But I figured there will probably be a 2-film set in a few months.

Received today. Lovely debossing of the arch, and embossing of the characters within. It's also full gloss, and very vibrant. Nice quality art cards too. Debossing the W on the rear really would've completed it, but nevermind. It's still nice.

Any pictures? Mines not been shipped yet so still time to cancel if I don't like it

Not really a worthwhile upgrade, oh
and be careful of the glue dots on this one - super sticky

I didn't have the og, but the embossing is really nice on this, and makes it worthwhile imo. Looks a little more vibrant too.

The glue on the front... jesus christ. It was awful. It stopped short of taking the paint off, but it's like it fused with the panel. Was a nightmare to remove, and it's still a bit smudged now.

Was quite tempted to upgrade this for my other half but probably not worth it given she won't notice the difference much.

Is it just me or is the debossing with the artwork really off?

The previous steel was much better. This is just a cash grab before the 2nd film is released.

Is there a reason why you think that? Is the gloss finish not nice or something?

I ordered this as I was going to give the original to a mate. The embossing is really poor, in my opinion. It does not add anything to the steel at all. For once, the image and gloss finish looks a lot better on a flat surface (if that makes any sense).

I can’t say I agree. It's got an excellent gloss finish (for scanavo Denmark, anyway) and the embossing is very intricate. There is a touch of over bossing on the right side of the hat, and the right arm of ariana, but it's minor and likely down to how small the characters are. It isn't an actual misalignment issue.

The right side of the characters does seem to be off a bit while all the other embossing looks spot on, it's not that big of a deal to me but some people can be very OCD about these things.

Yeah, I mean it isn't perfect, but I do have far worse examples in my collection tbf. It looks nice in hand, and it really isn't that noticeable imo.

My misalignment is more noticeable in my photos than in hand. Noticed that after I posted the pics. Arianas face looks weird in my pics but in hand she looks absolutely fine. This is a much better version than the previous we got. I had that but sent it back due to the scratches on the back. Glad I went for this one tho
