Does that mean we have at least 3 different Deadpool Steelbooks?

Disney Europe/Asia is the same steelbook

Disney Europe/Asia is the same steelbook

This (Taiwan) looks different

That just looks like a completely matte finish.

Could just be the photo I suppose.

Im all over this... I will be hiding in the toilet at work waiting for this.

Spot-matte is right, that's a first as far as I know.

I don't know whether to keep my amazon.fr order (which will be the same steelbook as this one- it better be!) or wait for FAC or Manta, though this steelbook by itself is a beauty, it doesn't need anything else .

Got mine today looks lush

Yes, looking at my U.K. copy and at other copies that have been unsealed I'd say that it's just the way the photo came out (showing the black background of the steel almost in a matte finish) and to reinforce that I'd like to direct your attention to the manufacturer of this steelbook, Scanavo, whose own website makes it quite clear that there are two and only two versions of this steelbook at the present time:-

VERSION ONE (manufactured by Scanavo in Canada for The Americas) - Mix of gloss on the black parts, matte on the red parts and spot gloss on the silver parts. No 'bossing (neither embossing nor debossing).
VERSION TWO (manufactured by Scanavo in Denmark) for the rest-of-the-world - As above BUT with both embossing and debossing (title and eyes)

If there is a VERSION THREE (manufactured in Hong Kong) for the Asian market then I'd expect to see that information on their website

Got mine today looks lush

"Lush" = Perfect word to describe this steelbook and wish I'd thought of it

Spot-matte is right, that's a first as far as I know.

. . . apart from a set of artcards and a fancy slipcover . . .

NA Deadpool looks totally glossy to me. I see no difference in treatment across the steel

 

[tono06]

As long as it is different from the USA n Canada I will take any! Lol but I will b looking for the manta one as well!

 

[virkia]

Cheers for that info
Didn't realise they were even more different than I'd thought and I should have taken the time to consult Scanavo's own website for that edition which reads:-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On another matter: I remember there was a problem with the NA/Ca "wrong way around" spine title which I put down to the fact it was made by Scanavo, Canada, in the French style, where wrong way around spine titles are not uncommon but that was before I read the following (which made me smile) "Fox just got back to us, and have confirmed that this was an intentional design choice for this release, in the cheeky spirit of Deadpool".

Back to the finish: It's strange that in some pics this steelbook looks super glossy . . . and in others not really, such as in this pic for the Best Buy:

Anyway, however it looks, it's the cat's miaow . . .

 

[Sigill]

This (Taiwan) looks different

I'm pretty sure it's the same. It looks matte but that's just the picture. You can see what look like fingerprint marks on the top right edge of the steel. The light also reflects of the steel as a glossy Steelbook would, if you look at the red next to the eye, that is matte and there is no reflection whatsoever.
