I think it looks awesome as a large poster, but it's too busy for a steelbook. Cases are tiny. There's 10 different actors shown in the poster artwork plus the two fighting in the middle that will be about 1 mm tall on a steelbook cover. It's just too much, too busy, too small a space for such a busy design. For steelbooks, less is more. For example, my most recent steelbook purchase is this Shining edition. Very simple. It makes the axe look like a logo. Love it.

I love how different opinions can be.

I feel the exact opposite. I like the extravagant, "busy" as you put it, artwork of the theatrical Ballerina poster and think it would look wonderful on a glossy steelbook. The borders and title could also only be included on a removable slipcover.

It's funny that you should mention that Shining steelbook as an example of your preferred artwork style as I am not a fan of that particular cover. To me, that artwork is too plain and has too much empty space. I think that they could have chosen a better cover instead, but to each their own.

I would have preferred this for the Shining steelbook art:

The Amazon pre-order states that theirs is a Lenticular Steelbook. Just an fyi, if that matters to anyone.

There are two different preorders available on Amazon. They have different artwork. This one makes no mention of lenticular.

I've preordered both. Will decide which I prefer when I receive them and return the other one. I'm not a fan of slipcovers so that may dissuade me from going with the lenticular one.

Which steelbook do you like better? Amazon or Walmart? Walmart one is currently not available for purchase.

I like them both for different reasons, with a slight edge to the Walmart one. I ****ed around on the preorder, though, so I'm "stuck" with the Amazon release. I like the colors better on the Amazon release, but the overall design I like better on the Walmart exclusive.
