I'm happy with my Lion King Woodbook.

As for releasing other titles, they wouldn't do that because other titles don't sell as well.

Anyone know the deal with the numbering? Isn't there already a #32?

See how the "Walt Disney" font is the traditional curvy, but then you have the blocky Star Wars-esque styling of the film title? They clash badly and would definitely stand out more on a shelf than the character-picture thing that Disney has going on, and not in a good way.

Don't worry, that's temporary. It will be changed to character faces or simply the "caveman art" of young Simba.

Hm, I guess they're just carrying over the standard classics edition numbering then?

ethnosax · 10-14-2016, 04:38 PM

Presumably this is not meant to fit into the previous Disney steel series, so with this one they're just listing it as its feature number rather than its place in a series? This also allows them to aver that it's not necessarily a series that will ever be complete.

Interesting

Might go for this.

Whirlygig · 10-15-2016, 01:02 AM

Lenticular?

No thanks! Will keep my first edition!

I expect it will be a lenticular magnet on the front of the steelbook. So not a lenticular j-card.

Metal Gear · 10-16-2016, 12:55 AM

Definitely importing this. Hopefully it's a lenticular slip cover and not a magnet.

Delusional. Zavvi don't do lenticular slips. You will get a lenticular magnet which won't alignment with the rest of the artwork! That's the Zavvi way!

They probably will do lenticular slips eventually. Until recently, they didn't do slips at all.

On another forum it was mentioned that the lenticular will be full-sized, rather than sitting within the border, so alignment shouldn't be an issue.
