Alright feckers,

I was going to my PM's the other day via my profile page and stumbled across the fact that back on the 19th had made 1 year since the start of me hanging out with you scumbags ;):p:D

So what better way to commemorate that than to host a frickin giveaway?!?! (Shut up, it's rhetorical!)

A little about where my head is at with this thing:

One issue I have with giveaways and the people who enter is that sometimes people simply don't care about them, the people entering or the host. They're simply there to do the bare minimum and hopefully get something free out of it. Well NOT in my giveaway... NO SIR!!! In my last giveaway, I went out of my way on numerous occasions to remind those who had not fully completed the requirements, that they had not done so. This time I will not be doing that. It is up to you to FULLY read the rules and what is being asked of you and to act accordingly. ALSO, I want everyone to have fun with this. PUT SOME EFFORT INTO IT, PEOPLE!!! I understand that not everyone is tech savvy or has the resources to post pictures or videos. In that case, be extra descriptive in your writings! Again, I wanted to use a question for this that would require some thinking and for the entrants to do some actual work versus asking a yes/no question or for you guys to just post a single picture or something. I wanted this to be a little more interactive and involved and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I'm going to.....

HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK:

1.) THANK THE OP OF THIS THREAD (aka - the post you're currently reading)

2A.) POST IN THE THREAD AND ANSWER THIS QUESTION: If you were the one making the decisions for one of the companies like Blufans, Kimchi, Nova, Plain Archive...What would be your next exclusive steelbook to make? It can be a new release or a catalogue title....your choice. Please be VERY descriptive and include things like pictures, written descriptions, mockups, etc.

2B.) EXPLAIN: a.) What the steel itself would look like (Art, embossed/debossed, glossy/matte). b.) What kind of slip(s) it would come with and what would be on that/those slip(s)? c.) What kind of extras it would come with (art cards, numbered card, stickers, notebooks, bonus gift, etc.)? d.) Anything else that you would like to include?

3.) DISQUALIFICATION: As I stated above, I despise when people give the absolute bare minimum in a giveaway. Especially in ones that they've been given the chance to be extraordinary and creative. So Rule #3 is going to be that if I feel that you aren't giving this your all, then you will be automatically disqualified from the list of potential winners. Sorry to be harsh about it, but if I'm asking too much, then simply don't sign up. I've put a lot of thought, time and money into this, so I would appreciate if you all put some time and thought in as well...:thanks:

4.) PRIZE CLAIM: In addition to your post, please list ALL prizes you would like to be considered eligible for! Please rank the prizes in list form starting with which prize you would like the MOST. Please hit return a few times and make this a separate paragraph from the "exclusive" part of your post. This just makes it easier for me when I'm going through all the posts.

5.) SHIPPING: ALL winners will be responsible for paying their own shipping costs!!!

6.) ELIGIBILITY: ANYONE & EVERYONE is eligible to enter the giveaway!!!

7.) GIVEAWAY ENDS:October 17th will be the last day to enter. Winners will be announced on October 18th and 19th!!!

8.) WHO WINS?: I will go through ALL eligible posts and rank them based on effort and creativity put into the posts. I will then take that list and hand out the prizes based on how those people ranked the prizes in terms of want.

*I think that is it for the formal stuff. However, if I decide somewhere along the way that any rules need to be added, I will post making you guys aware of the change(s).*

OK, NOW FOR THE FUN STUFF!!! I'M A STEELBOOK COLLECTOR FIRST, BUT I DO COLLECT MORE THAN JUST STEELBOOKS. I WANTED TO MAKE THIS GIVEAWAY DESIRABLE TO MORE THAN JUST THE STEELBOOK COLLECTORS, SO I TRIED TO INCLUDE PRIZES FOR EVERY KIND OF NINJA...HENCE THE THREAD TITLE!!!*

Q: "BUT MATHEW, WHAT'S IN YOUR SWAG BAG O' GOODIES?!?!"

A: I THOUGHT YOU'D NEVER ASK!!!



PRIZES!!!:

I guess I should explain the loot crate thing for others who don't know.

Loot Crate is a monthly subscription in which they send you a box of goodies each month. In that box can be anything from toys to posters to tshirts to a number of other different things. And everything comes from Movies, comics, cartoons and other facets of pop/nerd culture. Also, every month they have a theme in which all the items in the "crate" are based off of. The giveaway's crate was from September and the theme was "Galactic". There are things in the box from Firefly, Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien and a few more. There are actually some funko toys in this particular crate. If anyone has any questions, you can check out www.lootcrate.com or ask me directly.

I still thing that Labyrinth of the legendary Jim Henson needs a steelbook release. As for as I know there is only an amaray version of this great fantasy movie, and it just deserves more.....

Untitled-1.jpg




The front of the steel would look like this, where the glass ball will be embossed to create extra depth. The finish of the whole steel would be high gloss.
Ode+To+Labyrinth+by+Daniel+Vendrell+Oduber.jpg




The back of the steel would be an image that looks a bit like the one below. An drawing of the baby with the Ogers of the movie.


labyrinth_toby_froud_conceptual_art_toby_with_the_goblins.jpg



The inside should look a bit like the following image:
Nouveau_Labyrinth_poster_by_janey_jane.jpg



I love lenticular slipcovers, and I prefer them over the normal slipcovers. The following image would be great as an Lenticular image I believe. You could use just a depth effect on the clouds and hand, but it would be great if you also could add images of characters in the orange ball.

As an extra It would be nice to have a booklet, but because this is a movie of the legendary puppeteer Jim Henson, wouldn't it be even more great if you could add a small marionette of one of the characters to go with it?


1) Hansel & Gretel German Steelbook (Region Free!) (Sealed/Mint)
2) American Psycho Korean Digipack - Limited to ONLY 500! - (Region Free) (Sealed/Mint)
3) Only God Forgives German Digibook - Limited & Numbered - (Region B ONLY) (Open/Mint)
4) 10 pack of G2 plastic STEELBOOK protectors intended for sealed Steelbooks or open Steelbooks with the j-card/data sheet still attached.

It´s finally time for a proper steelbook release of the fantastic John Carpenters The Thing (1982) and my choice for front artwork would be based on the great looking mondo print by Jock:
thingbg1.jpg


I am lucky to have this print in my collection and a funny thing is that there are hidden monsters within the artwork, see here if you cant find them:
1411934357fsi.jpg


Parts of the body would be embossed totgether with the title.

The back of the steelbook would match the front some kind of space/ice motive that would be a natural follow up from the front.

The steelbook would have a lenticular slip This lenti slips would be in sync with the front of the acctual steelbook. Maybe show the hidden monsters when tilted? Should be some "action" in the lenti, besides depth.

The inside....well I like this photo, but its acctually from the press kit. Its like before everything goes to hell! :)
tumblr_mu1ujq9Vq41r3rloeo1_500.jpg


The extras to this release would be art cards, as there are some fantastic artists out there, like these.
