I personally find the HMV steel a little boring, and the back to this one makes it a worthy upgrade (IMO, of course). Throw on a FULL high gloss, and it'll be a stunner.

I'm not a big fan of Marvel movies in general, but I have to admit, it's going to be hard resisting this one.

I agree wholeheartedly. I'd love to see a full gloss treatment on this and the back art is definitely an upgrade over the original.

I think this one will turn out very nice. I do like the back image pretty well.

I have the HMV version and will stick with that, but I am interested to see how it turns out. I agree with the Leon. I was not impressed by early images, but once later pics of the actual item went out, I was in love and had to get a copy. If this one turns out the same way, I'm in trouble.

I just hope that Blufans will pay extra care for QC. I hate to see this beauty with tons of scratches like WIR did.

Needs full gloss and embossing.

[Amberdi]

I don't own the HMV one so I'm very happy with Blufans artwork.

But I see the point from those who already have the other and must be disappointed with this.

[Dragon Lee]

Pretty epic back artwork on this one! I also love the clouds/smoke on front cover too! Love it!

I posted this over on HDN:



In my book, this is WEA since the front artwork is sort of different and the back artwork is completely different from the original steelbook. I'm sure that Blufans was pushing to make the artwork as special and unique as they could, negotiating with the giant that is Marvel.

Plus, lots of collectors are probably just going to keep this sealed. So we'll only see the slipcover on the shelf. Which is a recreation of the Best Buy exclusive slipcover--AKA gorgeous.

Do you know if there is going to be any gloss or embossing on this, Kevin?

[Dr.Strange]

I love this steelbook. I have the HMV one but i will get this for sure.

Love the slip, love the back artwork and if its gloss it might look better than the HMV version.

[morfeusz]

Hmv version is superb , classy with matte +spot gloss finish So that one with high gloss finish (more colorful) new back will look so different from HMV so definitely is WEA for me as well easy buy . and have 3d disc as well.

[bluraysteel]

nothing confirmed for finishing yet, but debossing is for sure.

This is killing me. I am trying to find out a way to pay for all these awesome blufans releases. I have just been unsatisfied with quality of steels at other places and I am ready to go to the next level of collecting with Asian steel imports. I have to decide whether to start selling off my cheaper steels or just save every cent towards the several blufans releases this summer.

Debossed? The artwork with the frame border looks like its embossed.

Agreed. I hope it's debossed but that frame means embossed.
