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!!!:

@Hooch - That would be the PERFECT art for a steelbook cover!!! I know you share my love for horror, and personally, since I first saw this poster, I've wanted it to be Steelbook cover art!!!

Some fun facts here:
I was at MondoCon last week and met Jock. He had his ORIGINAL SKETCH for The Thing with him. I asked him about it because it's my favorite of his. I asked him how he was able to sketch out all the spatter and lines throughout. He told me the way it was done was by him blowing ink through a straw. I thought that was REALLY COOL & UNIQUE!!!

Only participating for fun, don't count me in for the prizes but what an awesome giveaway Mathew and belated Happy Anniversary! :)

I'd like to see a steelbook for The Incredible Hulk unlike the ones already out there (yes you've heard that tune before):

For the Front, this fits perfectly IMO (previously used on the DVD steelbook from Future Shop)

HULK front.jpg


I'll put the rest under spoiler so it doesn't detract from this :D

For the inside artwork, this would fit real nice

incredible-hulk-08_03.jpg


And for the back

arts-graphics-film_1189309a.jpg


Now I'm not much of a fan of mini-cards etc... on the other hand, if this were to get a slip, I'd like to see a full slip featuring the following image (with or without the text)

Hulk-Banner-Eyes-Movie-2.jpg


Needless to say, a glossy finish on the steelbook would be a welcome addition. :)

 
First things first, those are great prizes @mlmaier84
This giveaway is very generous of you! :thumbs:

Since Kimchi & Blu Fans are effectively releasing catalogue titles for films in phase 1 of the Avengers, well Iron Man 1 & 2 and Thor.
I have an idea for the back art that would tie them all together, since sometimes the back images seem to be an after thought (like Zavvis Thor release)

I think it would be cool to see them utilise the back of each steelbook to make a collage of the whole team when all laid out together.
So having the full set would all make up this image (or something similar)
TheAvengersLandscapeKeyArt2560x1080.jpg

Obviously better art could be used so that each character is pretty much the main focus of their own film' back cover.
As there are 6 films in phase 1, the image could be printed across the steelbooks as either the 6 in a row or 2 rows of 3 if the steelbooks back art is in the landscape position.

This idea can then continue with phase 2:
49Kb38i.jpg

But it probably works best when working with catalogue titles as then each phases' titles should be set in stone.
Debossing on the back would probably be avoided, and the front art would have to be something different than previous editions so to avoidusing the same ones as the Iron Man & Thor grails, otherwise people tend to get upset!
Full gloss, and thick paint would be used as I would want the whole image to be vibrant and detailed.

This is basically the same idea that the bond films did with the vhs spines:
james-bond-vhs-collection.jpg

But the steelbook spines don't have much space to utilise.

This could work with any film series or tv show though so there is endless possibilities.

Could you put me down for the follow prize entries:

1. Shaun Of The Dead Vinyl
2. American Psycho Digibook
3. Man Of Steel Lenticular
4. 10 Steelbook protectors

BUMP!!!

EVERYONE has done nothing less than an AMAZING JOB so far!!!! However, I'm a little disappointed in the turnout! Kinda sad that you ask people to put in a little effort and not very many sign up. I guess I can't complain seeing as I knew this would happen which is the EXACT reason I made the rules the way they are.

THANKS AGAIN to ALL participants!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!! But where the hell is: @satanclaus, @Marco86, @MGD, @bloodsnake007, @Bluprint, @zesty, @djs1401, @harry, @Bengaloo, @Scary Hair and the rest of you feckers that always make your own mockups!!! This is your chance to make WHATEVER YOU WANT and to possibly get "paid" for it!!!
 
If I won I would like:

1. Mondo Exclusive "Shaun of the Dead" OST Vinyl - Autographed by Jock

Thanks for the giveaway!





And I'd have to do a Guardians of the Galaxy Steelbook Release, not only because (imo) the current steelbook looks bleh but I LOVE this movie and would love to see an awesome set with the following -


Gloss and Embossed:

Inside Art:

Disc Art:
Disc for the feature film would look like the Infinity Orb

1/4 Slip:

Numbering Card:
Designed to look like the Tape, and the numbering would be printed on to look hand written in a similar style that Quill's Mother used.
