Good god, im happy with mine. Don't even know what to make of that.

giallohunter · 08-18-2018, 05:03 PM

Easy pass. Also well over priced on Zavvi. The same Steelbook is only 9.95 on cdon.

AlexIlDottore · 08-18-2018, 05:09 PM

The ultimate in ~~alien terror.~~ ass ugly mondo steels.

Ste7en · 08-18-2018, 05:14 PM

Man, that is rotten!

Does it contain the Arrow BD or the Universal one. If the latter... why even bother?

don3663 · 08-18-2018, 05:32 PM

I get what they are going for, but its an easy pass.

The Universal disc which is the nail in the coffin.

formula_nebula · 08-18-2018, 05:43 PM

Whomever came up with that artwork should be ashamed at themselves. Doesn't even look like Kurt Russell, and the arm placement with the flamethrower looks way off.

RalphoR · 08-18-2018, 05:53 PM

Seriously. I'd have considered this if they actually used MacReady on the cover and not some random hippy.

Takeshi666 · 08-18-2018, 06:12 PM

Nice to see I'm not the only one who dislikes Mondo covers.

Is the bundle of dynamite just floating under it or what?

KIDplus · 08-18-2018, 06:25 PM

LOL. Naw I'm good.

Ew.

Hasn't this already had two Steelbook releases in the UK?

Porco Azzurro · 08-18-2018, 07:52 PM

Yuck, no. Easiest pass for a steelbook of a film I love in a long time, and I often feel as though I like designs no-one else seems to!

Gorgon · 08-18-2018, 08:00 PM

Even my HMV "VHS" style package is nicer than this (actually, it's very much nicer than this).
'Mondo' seems to be reaching the exalted heights of 'Pop-Art' as of late.

Billz · 08-18-2018, 08:06 PM

It's clearly the Thing trying to disguise itself as a steelbook, but seeing as it's used to only copying living things, it's not doing a very good job.

danny24 · 08-18-2018, 10:02 PM

This is getting ridiculous, they are trying to milk it for every last penny.

Just put out a 4K UHD Blu-ray please and I will finally have a reason to buy this again.

Have the Arrow region B and Universal Mondo steels and both nicer than this.

This design is cool but give me a reason to need to upgrade other than another cool steel of The Thing, like a 4K version.

Pizzamorg · 08-18-2018, 11:38 PM

Did they get their child to draw this for them?

dohrmannmf · 08-19-2018, 03:42 AM

Let's see, here. I have the Universal disc, the Mondo steel, the Scream Factory release, the Arrow steelbook, and the Arrow limited edition. I think I'm good on releases of the Thing for the rest of my life.
