Former challenges will be stored here, so that we don't repeat ourselves.

  Reveal hidden contents

Challenge 1:

 

Show us your favorite Lenticular Edition (that you own) and tell us why it is your favorite.

In addition let us know which type of lenticular you prefer? The one with depth only or the one with changing/transition images, include another 2 of your favorites of that type in your picture.

 

You are not allowed to use a previous award picture for the challenge! If you have not taken part in our Lenticular Award, now would be a good time to do so ☺️

 

 

 

Woohoo! Tied for first!

Simply amazing how many psychos have already discovered this challenge and taken part in it. I enjoyed looking at all these submissions so much. It reminded me how many great editions I have bought in the last few years. My collection is currently a little unorganized, new arrivals are placed on the floor which is kinda depressing, so seeing all these posts and wonderful items brought back some joy for me ☺️

 

thank-you-thanks.gif

 

 

Some great new posts from the German crew @Gentleman @Catgirl @Cornbuster @Gladiator_MV 😍 the German Predator is amazing, I would have included that too if I had not choosen to present the WeET The Predator.

 

That Spotlight is amazing @guri008, I'm surprised it was not included by more members.

 

Thank you for taking the time and for accepting the challenge @Chief_lookout. Sweet editions 👍

 

We have already

so-many-people-crowded.gif

Still time to make a post for this challenge.

I have no preference related to depth or transition or the kind of lenti like O-ring, magnetic card or quarter slip. All is fine as long as the effect is good.

 

I saw in this thread a lot of lentis which I would probably also select but I decided to show here BF No. 21 because all three lenticular have a good depth and I like the images whch were used. But as mentioned before, there a so many really good lentis released over more than 10 years of collecting such stuff so, I cannot decided which is the best one. And of course, as a lot of these lentis are still safe in the OCs I could not show the most of these beauties.

Greeting Psychos on this lovely Sunday 😀

 

As I have been designated (fair and square) as the next host by our lord @extantsrevenge, I have taken the liberty of posting my challenge a day earlier as I am afraid I will have very little time tomorrow and I figured a few hours won't matter.

 

So please allow me to present the new challenge for the upcoming week.

 

Show us your 5 favorite Premium editions under the following stipulations:

- One edition only per retailer of your choice.

- The editions have to include at least one Asian release and one European release.

- The editions have to include at least one steelbook and one non-steelbook release.

 

A short summary explaining what makes each of these editions so special would be greatly appreciated, 

 

Cameras ready, set... go!

Having a small collection made this challenge relatively easy for me, although I did feel a little bad leaving out great releases from the likes of Plain Archive and Nova... so honorable mentions go to:

 

TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY Fullslip C - Plain Archive

C_521x763.jpg?v=1571438603

 

APOCALYPSE NOW Fullslip - Novamedia

e2d84d62d383f0e39a2119fde3237573.jpg

 

So without further ado, let me present what I consider to be 'La crème de la crème' of my collection (in chronological order of release):

 

PAN'S LABYRINTH Fullslip A1 - Kimchi/TheOn

image.thumb.jpeg.04b7935ea5c2e415659c8a4bf0de9773.jpeg

Along with the 3rd entry on this list, this is a prime example of Premium WEA steelbook done to perfection.

Many times, we get an exceptional steel with mediocre slips or vice versa but in this case, both slip and steel are works of art which to this day, set the high benchmark by which I judge all WEA Premiums.

 

2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY - WCL

image.thumb.jpeg.06f6cc6b95c3743fc807194f58d8789c.jpeg

The one that started it all. I started collecting steelbooks about a year before this edition's release, but this was the one that made me dive into the Premium rabbit hole, and more importantly, introduced me to a little forum called Media Psychos (how much have you grown ☺️). 

So besides the fact that it holds great sentimental value for me, it is the absolute definitve, most gorgeous edition yet released for Kubrick's masterpiece.

I am certain the upcoming Manta release will be a knockout (and a rare double dip for yours truly) but I doubt this holy grail will be dethroned anytime soon.

 

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Fullslip - Manta Lab

image.thumb.jpeg.b767403ca77ee13a9e4213795bdd6d75.jpeg

Same as Pan's Labyrinth.

 

CASINO - EverythingBlu

image.thumb.jpeg.425d58e3a9163efc3482e6b605fbd541.jpeg

The fact that this edition is one of only two Premium WWA in my collection (the other being Jaws HDZ) is testament to how much I love what EB has done with this title. A perfectly good steel wrapped in a beautiful slipcase, choke-full of cool goodies. 

Simply put, a classic movie getting the treatment it deserves from an often underappreciated retailer.

 

BLADE RUNNER - UHD CLUB

image.thumb.jpeg.b846e611b7a788b22841dda49ba49bf6.jpeg

If someone asked me which edition I would like to be buried with when my time comes, this lacquered wooden marvel would probably be it.

I don't think I have ever been so eager to receive an edition before or since. It's absolutely glorious and I truly feel sorry for those who passed or missed on the opportunity to have this beauty in their collection.

So into the basement you go to sort through all the hundreds of Premiums sitting there, collecting dust among those stacks of porno mags 😁

My favorite edition would have to be The Shining from Cinemuseum. It’s also the edition that brought me here to MP.

Next up is the beautiful Edition of Roman Holliday from WCL. The velvet slip is one of a kind.

Next would be The Master from Plain Archive. The Steelbook is stunning.

Up next would be Interstellar from Manta Lab. Beautiful glow in the dark Texture on the OC Box and all 3 editions inside are awesome.

Last up is a favorite film of mine. L.A. Confidential from HDZeta. It’s the best edition available for this wonderful movie.

It's funny, last night I was organizing my bookcases again in order of favorite premiums (one for steel, other nonsteel) instead of alphabetical. So I will be back!

When I thought about all the cool editions I was able to acquire during the last few years, at first I was like....

star-trek-the-wrath-of-khan-star-trek2.g

"How can I choose between all that stuff".

 

Anyway I knew my first pick instantly and so I decided to go for 5 releases that have impressed me, got me excited, really mean something to me and turned out awesome. Besides my issue one pick I will not rank them and also not claim that nothing else I have could be higher on my list if I would rank them, but I feel that each of the 5 shown here is truely deserving of being choosen for this challenge.

 

The first Premium Edition I want to present is the Legend of the Galactic Heroes Complete Collection Limited Edition Boxset.

After I first laid eyes on this amazing Anime Masterpiece it quickly became my favorite Anime of all time (it would also be my favorite series if I would do a list with live action included). It is simply PERFECTION and I love it so much. So for years I waited for a release that would be english friendly.

 

The day I found out that it would finally get a release was truely glorious. And I will be eternally be grateful to @Masterblaster who helped me get this (as the shop did not ship internationally).

 

I love it and this would be my favorite premium that I own.

newsteelbook161a.JPG

 

More pictures can be found here.

 

Now onward to the other items. HDzeta is a Premium retailer I really love, I think they create some outstanding editions and with The Dark Knight Trilogy OCs + the extra Motherbox they created one of the coolest Premium releases ever. It is such a great set for one of the greatest Movie Trilogies ever. Batman is also my favorite Superhero (always was) and I collect the comics for a long time now. So this Set is really special to me, I also love the MP Exclusive extra foil poster @ksosk created for us.

 

newsteelbook223.JPG

 

Next I want to feature the amazing FAC Alien release, especially the Maniac Box. I include it because Alien is one of my most beloved Movies and for a long time FAC was on the top of my favorite retailer list and they did some amazing releases (don't forget T2 Maniac among others). All the different editions in this release are awesome and the Maniac is so beautiful.

Perfect release.

 

Newsteelbook 252 - Media Psychos - Alien Filmarena Edition 1-4 - Maniac Boxset.JPG

 

Now we go to my current number 1 Retailer, can't have this list without WeET. I choose The original Spider-Man Trilogy because, I love that incarnation of Spider-Man, we never got a premium release for it before and WeET nailed it. The fact that all 3 movies (each with 2 editions) is brought together in 1 OC is simply genius and the excecution was also perfect. WeET is the undisputed king of Full Slips and with this release they created one of the best Premium ever.

 

MP Challenge Spider-Man.JPG

 

Last I want to show the very cool MCU Infinity Saga Boxset. Yeah Superheroes again 😅. I included this (and not a random premium releases of on of the 23 movies), because this Saga is such an amazing achievement, that I think will never be repeated again in history. I was already a fan of comics before it was mainstream to be a Fan. I knew all these characters before and seeing them brought to live in such a gigantic and epic way was truely a significant experience. The MCU may go on for a long time but I think it will never again be able to repeat this awesomeness that it called the Infinity Saga.

Okay that turned out to be a longer post 😅. Thank you @R1s1ngs0n for this fun challenge.

I hope I have understood correctly. Here I come ! 

 

Alien.thumb.jpg.ee3af7a873778121187f839c79dbc280.jpg

 

First of all, Alien by Filmarena. I love when they take risks and do different things, in this case Filmarena for the whole saga made boxes with an amazing relief and design, an exclusive that is worth every cent.

 

lifeisB.thumb.jpg.2ddccdb6078e581e078890c9aba057e7.jpg

 

Life is Beautiful by ARA , A great film that was crying out for a special edition and it was ARA in this case that released this edition containing a simple edition with some goodies. Very beautiful and simple edition to match the film.

 

therevenant.thumb.jpg.fca3e9120782fed73f1766cf2a20779d.jpg

 

The Revenant Manta Lab,  For the same reason as filmarena , in this case Manta Lab launched an edition with a leather-like look and feel. Very nice edition that stands out from the others for its unmistakable design. 

 

Thor.thumb.jpeg.45537c7ebf5accc6e55f3bdca157f732.jpeg

 

Thor Ragnarok WeetCollection , I have chosen this edition as I could have chosen any other Full Slip from Weet Collection, I think we can all agree that Weet has pushed the quality of the Full Slips one step further.

 

 Ferrari.thumb.jpeg.90cb98580b81a65d565fe59395fcbd19.jpeg

 

Ford v Ferrari by Hdzeta , This is my gratitude to the WWA special editions where Hdzeta has given us great works and joys with his Silver Label, I know that many of you don't like this kind of editions with a wwa steelbook inside but I am grateful that they exist, I love this edition or others like Unforgiven, Inception, The Hobitt . One day a WEA will come out, it's possible, but in the meantime these editions make me very happy.

Neither one of you adhered to @R1s1ngs0n instructions… where is your Asian editions(unless he is talking about an Asian retailer is OK or does it need to be an Asian film, this is where I might be confused 🫤)?🧐

So here a five faves of mine:

 

Wonder Woman, UHD Club:

since Eli already posted Blade Runner, I ll go with choice number 2 here.

These wooden editions are just amazing and I hope there are many more to come.

Pulp Fiction, Novamedia:

my favorite edition for the masterpiece. The artwork fits the movie perfectly and the design is incredibly well done.

Zero Dark Thirty, Plain Archive:

I love the artwork choices from Plain Archive and this one is the one I like best (closely followed by Incendies).

Fight Club, Mantalab:

many prefer the Lentis, but for my money, theres only one edition that beats em all, this spectacular Fullslip.

Surely one of Mantas best imho.

Psycho, EverythingBlu:

the Europen part ist covered by Everything Blu. I really miss their work and this edition is a good example why.

impeccable detail on every raindrop, perfect choice of artwork.

These wooden editions are just amazing and I hope there are many more to come.

Pulp Fiction, Novamedia:

my favorite edition for the masterpiece. The artwork fits the movie perfectly and the design is incredibly well done.

Absolutely love each one of your picks.

That Pulp white FS was also in the running for my selection and that Fight Club is indeed a beauty. I actually had it before I decided to go for the DL and now a good friend of mine has it.

I didn’t think to specify that I would rather people not post different editions of the same film, but I know that some members have a special attachment to certain movies, which makes every premium of those films very special to them.

So I am allowing two different editions/retailers of the same film on condition that one is from an Asian retailer and the other is a European release.

Only one duplicate - all remaining 3 choices have to be different films.


FYI @Scary Hair 😁

Flippin Heck Nils you don’t half set some difficult challenges and for me they can’t get more difficult than choosing favorite Lenti… as Im a total Lenti Head anyway , my collection is mostly those and to choose which is best is a mammoth task … I’m not saying that the ones I have chosen are the best that have been done but they mean a lot to have them in my collection, I admire both depth and transition editions as they both represent different viewing experiences  so here’s my choice … 

#1 is the very first edition I got from  MP v1 , from my first GB … 

Mantalab Exclusive #001 Man of Steel 

 

AE9E10DE-2899-413A-B299-3117E5365993.thumb.jpeg.089cb479638d38e019f74ce1b2800b41.jpeg

 

second is no brainer and that’s HdZeta Bladerunner DL… it speaks for itself

Third but by no means least It’s CM The Thing … Aquired not that long ago after a very long search… a Great depth Lenti for an awesome movie ..

next up for the European edition is The Mummy Trilogy from EB. I went for this one because of the very cool box they set in.

Next I went ahead with an Asian film PARASITE, another one which I enjoy the cover.

...and my editions...

 

Inglourious Basterds, Manta

I love the OneClick the metallic title on the OC-Box and motives of Lenti- and Fullslips are awesome.

 

Kill Bill V1+V2, Nova

No words - I've tears in my eyes, when I see it. Both...

 

Spiderman Trilogy, WeET

I have waited a long, long time for this absolutely fantastic OneClick-edition

 

Spiderman Homecoming, Filmarena

Those were the days - what a Maniac.

What a shame, that the third part will not be a Maniac...

 

BR 2049, UHD Club

The best of quality, I've seen yet (the box).

Greeting Psychos on this lovely Sunday 😀

 

As I have been designated (fair and square) as the next host by our lord @extantsrevenge, I have taken the liberty of posting my challenge a day earlier as I am afraid I will have very little time tomorrow and I figured a few hours won't matter.

 

So please allow me to present the new challenge for the upcoming week.

 

Show us your 5 favorite Premium editions under the following stipulations:

- One edition only per retailer of your choice.

- The editions have to include at least one Asian release and one European release.

- The editions have to include at least one steelbook and one non-steelbook release.

 

A short summary explaining what makes each of these editions so special would be greatly appreciated, 

 

Cameras ready, set... go!

new_psycho_challenge_starting_gleaming_metal_lila.gif.448c2288d4dd946f7a4541ab975df17e.gif

Okay, I've got mine all assembled now. Here we go!

 

20220918_100128.thumb.jpg.8f45e3d9bd0bd4ceafc93c08ebb03336.jpg

The King, the Big Daddy, the Allfather, #1 has gotta be HDZeta's The Dark Knight Trilogy.
The OCs themselves are still unopened, so I can't show off too much, but the motherbox alone makes it top tier. And of course, @ksosk's magnificent custom piece, which I was lucky to have included when I bought this from one of John's sales. TDK is still the best comic book movie, the best Batman movie, and one of my favorites after 14 years. Batman Begins is nearly as good, and TDKR is definitely not as bad as people say. This is also without a doubt my most expensive premium, and as such the value is self-evident.

 

20220918_100527.thumb.jpg.cbd199f0fdc29841684d6fea4ea3e67c.jpg

#2 has the Internet's favorite lady—Ana de Armas—plastered all over the cover, and in gorgeous pink and blue shades: UHD CLUB's Blade Runner 2049.
Another snag from John's sales, and another unopened one. I used to think my favorite color was blue, but now I think it might be pink. I love that it's wood, I love the choice of scene from the movie (as does everyone else), and I love that I got over my stupid rule of "Steelbooks only", otherwise I'd never have gotten this, or some other quality sh!t.

 

20220918_100747.thumb.jpg.858107f57acfad2a34306f92b12c34cd.jpg

I think it's funny to have this as one of my favorites, because I thought the movie sucked big time. But DAMN, you can't beat this box or the first two slips. #3 is WeET's Captain Marvel.
I initially only wanted the helmet slip, because I couldn't really justify spending so much on an OC of a movie I disliked. But then I thought, how about I don't justify it? And now I have a beautiful box with beautiful content that features beautiful people and a cat.

 

20220918_101313.thumb.jpg.ae844dfb1a3fb564ad681378ce878df1.jpg

This one solidified my love of the color pink. #4 is KimchiDVD's From Dusk Till Dawn.

Boobs. Okay, now that that's out of the way, god this is just a wonderful slip. The excessive pink, the embossed title, the ornamentation surrounding the characters, the lovely Salma Hayek front and center, it deserves a chef's kiss.

 

20220918_101401.thumb.jpg.e9fc96fba5f1c1fde01237e11527118b.jpg

And finally, we have one of my earliest premiums. It might actually be my first premium steelbook. The horrific #5, Filmarena's Alien.
What do I have to say? Just look at it. They really went above and beyond for this one, with the "embossing" here. It sticks out so much, they had to send an XL protector for it. And I'm afraid to take it out, I don't want to ruin it or even scratch it. A perfect premium for a perfect movie, my only regret is not getting the Maniac's Box, even though this is hands down the best slip form it.

 

Actually I'm not sure if FAC counts. If it does or doesn't, I'll add in another anyway.

 

20220918_101628.thumb.jpg.07efe3a309c5ffe71ea41eee1deaf8a5.jpg

New #5 is Cinemuseum's The Thing.
This was my grail for quite some time, and it was worth getting it in the end. You can't beat the Drew Struzan art, don't even try, and making it a lenti? Pure genius. It only makes sense that a masterpiece of a movie gets a masterpiece of a slip.

 

20220918_110303.thumb.jpg.bf98f8e1c9f6376d558357df3ef4ab7d.jpg

 

Call this an honorary mention, since I'm already editing this post. But I would call this my first real premium, even if there aren't any steels. The 50th Anniversary Star Trek TV and Movie Collection.
I had gotten it for a birthday of mine, after watching TOS for the first time a couple years ago. It has all 3 seasons of The Original Series, all of the Animated Series, and all 6 TOS movies, and even has DS9's magnum opus, Trials and Tribble-ations! The posters are amazing, and it came with a magentic Starfleet emblem but it's somewhere in my room, have to find it. It's a little hard to see in the pic, but I love the transportation effect on the main 7. I love Star Trek, and I love this box set.
