Ah, good looking out. Yeah here we go: https://www.samgilbeyillustrates.com/

 

Seeing it in original format isn't AS bad but there's still a lot of faces unbalanced to one side. However, skinning this on a steelbook just does not work.

 

Eh, at least folks like us get multiple copies and for the WeET version we'll have great looking slips to hide this abomination. Also hoping Blufans goes with the Japanese steelbook artwork. Otherwise, I'll just have to spring for that version separately. 

 

No problems at all.

Yeah as a large print it looks ok but agree it's all too much on one side & being shrunk down does it no favours...makes it too busy & too much in a limited space

Such a shame as his work is pretty amazing for the most part.

So pleased we have such a wide choice of slipcases to cover it up

I think Blu Fans are actually offering WEA for theirs so might even surpass the Jpn release yet

I'm just wondering who designed the steelbook artwork and how do we get in touch with them to ask: what the stop using inappropriate language?

 

And also, who approved the steelbook artwork instead of asking: what the stop using inappropriate language?

An artist by the name of Sam Gibley has done the Zavvi Mutli Character version.

He is generally a really solid & top quality artist, how he came up with this though is beyond me, it's really weak

Not sure on the Mysterio fish bowl HMV one though

Thanks @Soundwave

Will zavvi  have the fishbowl steelbook or the other one lol

 

No problems :)

From what I gather Zavvi are getting the multi character Steel & HMV are getting Fishbowl head

Either way they are pretty poor lol

Hi @ksosk  I'm guessing the WWA will be the same as the upcoming Zavvi Collector's edition?

Yeah sadly it's the same artwork, thank god we have these glorious slipcovers to hide the monstrosity 

It really is a weak design IMO

I think Blufans are doing Exclusive artwork which will probably be better looking but I'm more than happy with the WeET Lenti

It looks amazing in those beauty shots

I'm a fan of Blufans' work but WeET has definitely been coming correct lately. I agree they me be climbing the ranks as the #1 stunna.

Same here, I never bother with Blufans OAB releases, because for me the best thing about BF is the actual Steel istelf. I am not fussed with thier slips.

 

I used to champion Nova for thier slips back when they were doing Marvels (I'm a Full slip collector) but recently WeET are killing it across the board. Certainly every WeET release that I own is Beautiful. Perfect releases for Marvel headz

Absolutely agree, I'm fairly new to the Premium steel market but I am definitely more excited about WEET releases than I am for BF these days

Is it?!! Is this the same as the Zavvi Lenti??? Awwwwww.....  

It might well be but with WEET you are at least guaranteed an amazing slipcase, some extra goodies & more exclusivity than the Zavvi release.

Personally I love the art & I'm hoping the full slips look amazing & add an extra dimension too

Neil

Do I really need a 4th version of this movie???

HELL YES I DO

May I suggest getting an edition?

If nothing goes wrong, by 27th Sept!

Thanks @ksosk

Now I just need to decide if I really want this or get the Blufans 

Aaarrgh decisions lol

Neil

Hi all,

Do we know how soon payment will be required for any editions we order?

Trying to be good & budget...for a change ;) lol

Neil

Fullslip looks amazing.

Can't wait to see the Lenti

Neil

Thanks Ksok, always try too

Thanks Ksok,

I should be fine, just requested the Lenti on thread, but should I need help I will let you know

I'll just put a bit aside between now & then.

Thanks for the understanding though, really appreciate it

Neil

Thanks @ksosk much appreciated

I get paid on the 15th so I might be ok but I might have to ask for a little extension on Waiting for payment lol

Neil

Hey guys,

Sorry quick question but do we know roughly when payment would be required for this?

Would love the Lenti but already a little overstretched this month so hoping it would be after payday in August 

Thanks

Neil

Took me by surprise when I got the invoice at the weekend...thought it was a bit further off yet lol

Paid the first invoice

Looking forward to that B1 Lenti, looks glorious.

Shame the 3D & BD are looked bu then I already have those in the Zavvi version so it's the 4K I'm more interested in here 😍

Thanks again for organising guys...I love this site...my bank account however...not so happy 🤣🤣

figure around $100

Thanks buddy

Probably going to be too rich for my blood...need to save some pennies for whenever Blu Fans get their Captain Marvel & Endgame sets ready

thanks again for the help

Neil

Hi all,

Daft question but do we know a rough cost for this yet & I assume it includes the 4K movie as well?

Sorry to be a bit thick but never seen one of these before & would like to get one but with other Group Buys & my other collectible hobbies I don't want to overstretch myself & then not be able to afford it.

Thanks

Neil

Oh crap @Benoit46 seriously jealous of that one

Was looking at him last night on Ebay

I missed out on the original release but sorely tempted to get the IW version...he just looks so good

Can't wait to see your pics.

Congrats on another fine addition

Neil

@Benoit46 wow they are arriving thick & fast at the mo

Congrats on the new pick ups

Collection is looking amazing

Neil

Hi all,

Just a quick one in case anybody is interested but EBAY UK today have a 10% of everything code (Maximum discount - £50.00)

Just use code - PICKANY

Trying to decide if I need anything now

Awesome @Soundwave that Beta Ray Bill looks great, is it one of your favorite characters or why did you looked especially for this?

Thanks @extantsrevenge

Yeah Bill has been an absolute favourite character of mine for a long time.

I have always been a big Thor fan but when I found out about Bill a few years back & got into hi back story & character as a whole he soon escalated to my favourite Marvel character & I have long since wanted this statue for my collection, so finding it at the show & for such a  good price meant I had to snap him up

XM Studios are also doing a new statue of him but sadly their prices are too much for my poor wallet these days

I actually had a comic artist do me a commission piece for Beta Ray Bill on a blank Thor comic which I will get a picture of & post up.

If you haven't read any Beta Ray Bill before I do recommend looking him up & having a read, he's a great addition to the Marvel Cosmic universe

Also look out in Thor Ragnarok for the Easter Egg of him

Cool looking statue .... it’s a great feeling when you find something you’ve been after for ages .... now for the next ....

Thanks @ukade2327

Yep no feeling like finally ticking off a most wanted item.

Lol oh there are plenty more I'd like...just my bank balance (And the wife) have something to say about that ??

Thanks again for the comments guys

Neil

Beautiful new get @Benoit46

Looked at that myself lately but been good & stayed away from that particular Marvel sized Rabbit hole & I don't really want to fall down it now

I actually picked up a new addition to my collection this weekend at the London Film & Comic Con & the great thing is this piece is something of a holy grail for me & a piece I had been hunting for for years & I am over the moon that I managed to find it & for a fantastic price too.

So here it is my Bowen Studios Beta Ray Bill statue

I am so utterly chuffed with it & it will forever be one of my most cherished pieces now

Neil

Late to this topic but thought I would share my Tattoos

I have Tribal junk on my arms (from before I knew better) but I have these on my legs...

Left leg is adorned by Transformers

Right leg is home to Batman

Batman will eventually be joined by Joker round the front on my shin but money & time are against me at the moment

Also, my "Vampire Hunter D, Bloodlust, CE" arrived .

Looks beautiful and I'm excited to plug it in forthwith. 

 

That is beautiful

I need to get me that

Love Vampire Hunter D

Didn't enjoy Bloodlust as much but still need it for the collection

You're welcome

The new pieces that HT have from Infinty War look amazing

I swore for a long time that I would stay away from their Avengers as the line would simply never be done & every new film would bring new, better figures but I fear I may slip this time

Thor is my favourite Marvel Character so I think it's about time I added him to my collection but I do miss the long hair look from earlier movies (Haven't seen Ragnarok or Infinity War yet so still haven't seen how the change happens) but the new sculpt from Infinity War is phenomenal

The new Dr Strange that I saw yesterday looks unreal as well
