Nightcrawler Nova Exclusive #007 (FullSlip Edition)
When we first saw the mockup of the steel I was very against it, not feeling it at all as I found the artwork had no relevance to the movie…over time I got to warm up to it but loved the back artwork of the steel as I found it really captured the essence of the Movie.
I just received my Copy today and I have no words, I am blown away, I don't remember a WEA that has blown me away that much in a very long while. The FullSlip is a superb Matte Finish with him as Spot Gloss treatment on it, the title as usual embossed always a nice touch on spine and top of FullSlip. The back artwork of the FullSlip I have no words but to kneel down on my knees and bow it is spectacular, to the whole release actually. The back Artwork of the FullSlip of the camera Lenz in red, we have a contrast of embossed/debossed(as it goes in slightly for the lenz design where the outer edge is matte and the one closer to the middle is Glossy) it is so hard to describe the attention to details they have brought to this release. The numbers inside the lenz and the inscription are embossed (since those part of the lenz are debossed). It is pure Class all the way.
The front artwork details of the steel is hard to capture on picture but the whole steelbook is pure Gloss and very high quality, the front title on steel is debossed(indented into the glasses) and the glasses as well have some debossed treatment with some type of pattern in them, in hands it is very Classy and I take everything back I said about the choice of artwork(not liking it for the movie) they made it work with making it so beautiful. The glasses treatment with the title over the sheer Glossiness is something spectaculars.
The Book also PURE quality, as usual very nice and thick paper like a real book none of the flimsy ones) as well as the cards included (Art Cards and Character cards) not to mention the awesome ''Custom Artwork Disk Design''.
This release is a Firm 10/10 and with the Quality of this movie, it did get the proper makeover with this FullSlip from Nova, they went above and beyond what I was expecting, it is just Insane no other words can describe. I have no words but High Praise for Nova…I think Drive and Nightcrawler are simply the 2 best release they have ever made. No way any other releases other than Drive can come up to the High Standard of the Sheer Quality and details of this release, all small details this must have taken lots of planning and intense design… ..but I still was expecting to dislike the front of the steel which they basically made me just dropped my jaw open when I saw this…the details and debossing of the titles is pure Class. Ok I am repeating myself but I am just in awe at this release, So much though was put into designing this FullSlip and Steelbook…Class all the way, This is a Piece of ART !
Drive got The Proper Makeover from Nova after it was already a ''Cult Classic'' and Nightcrawler Got the Proper makeover before it will reach ''Cult Classic'' which is inevitable if you have seen the Movie. Both Classic Movies, both Stunning Art Packages for those 2 movies.
