I'm for one that is really OK with removable lenticular, like Transformers: DOTM HK, you have 2 slipcover artworks which actually is a bonus for me... in this case it's even different arts which I find it's even better but that's just me ...

It's not removable. It's completly seperate, there is no magnet or something like that.
So you can lay it aside or glue it on the slip (idea from the King Kong thread).

 

[goufcustom]

that's my term of removable

 

[DodgyDave]

It isn't just the lenti. It's also that **** slip that is under it. Never saw mention/photo of it until today. I'm afraid this all stinks.

 

[hellboydce1]

i ordered the full slip and paid for it way back when, the wait for it hasn't really bothered me, then i saw there was a second chance to get hold of a lenti (which was the one i really wanted) so i put my name down for that, but now i feel like i am getting two full slips instead, which i don't want, and to echo an earlier poster i think GB's should wait until the final product is shown, will the lenticular card come sealed with the slip or will it just be put in the package as an afterthought? will i have to unseal the steelbook if i want to glue the lenti card on? can i pull out of the 2nd round GB as this isn't what i signed up for? or will i be blacklisted from all future GB's

 

[IRON MAN]

I transformed the lenti from HTTYD into a magnet (well @mlmaier84 did it for me) but that may not be ideal for everyone.

 

[KazzPetrelli]

Bummer! Jeez, I wish I could move to full slip GB instead of lenti slip

 

[wxlinkswd]

Our original design scheme is lenti and slip are separated, just to let everyone see the 2D picture below the lenti, so you can get two cover instead only one.Hdzeta's exclusive style is separated, many Chinese members like this design, from to start HTTYD,until now the kingkong, and the Jurassic park.

We are very sorry at the beginning did not explain the design scheme, we think everyone already knows how to train a dragon design can image this, and designers doesnt mark the details on the pics,its a mistake.
We know that many members of HDN unhappy for this news, because we are not in the beginning description carefully, we are very sorry for this mistake,but we don't think we cheat, the final product and the picture is the same,its just the lenti and slip seaprtly only, and we have the the solution.

We will gule all lenticard on the slip very well then send to every one.

If you have another question,please contact me,im so sorry for this mistake and Misunderstanding.

 

[HUBMUSWELL]

I'm so glad I went with my gut instinct and NOT pre-ordered ANY HDzeta releases anymore WITHOUT seeing in hand photos...

I may pick up the full and 1/4 slips in the after market...

Very wise decision. One I'll be adopting in future. [emoji106]

@wxlinkswd thanks, in order to avoid confusion in the future, please consider indicating the fact that the lenticular for your designs is separate, in your mockup along with a note that this design allows users to see multiple covers. When people see 'lenticular slipcover' they assume it is all in one piece, as done by other companies. Just a suggestion as members order based on the package shot mockup. HDzeta puts a lot of work into its editions, and we appreciate that you remain involved in the community and provide updates regularly. If you can improve communication regarding the product just a bit more, I think things like this can be avoided. Good luck with all of the shipping-my shipping 'arena' is ready!

 

[frankfish44]

Sweet. This actually saves me some money. As I already had the UK version, I was contemplating getting the WWA steel to add to my collection again The slip underneath the lenticular having the same artwork is more than ideal for me. No qualms here.

We know that many members will not open it, so that will not be affected, if you want to open, can use some glue to stick it by yourself, its very easy,but if you want open it and cant glue it by yourself,please PM me,i will mark your ID in GB list,then tell factory glue them very well send to you.

If you have another question,please contact me,im so sorry for this mistake and Misunderstanding.

I wasn't aware of anything like this, just like you've said if you don't open the steel you won't notice. I haven't got my HTTYD lenti unsealed. But besides that I haven't seen any in-hand pictures of a loose lenti card for HTTYD.

I don't feel like glueing lenti cards on a slip, for the same reason I don't like stickerbooks (and unfortunatly we have lots of them in the Netherlands).

I think it all comes down to communication and thank you for your clarification. At least I know to keep HTTYD and Gladiator lenti sealed as I don't wanne have a loose lenti card. By the way the same goes for loose numbering cards in my opinion.

 

[wxlinkswd]

We just talk about with the Factory,they will glue all lenticard then send to everyone.
All lenti will glued like the kimchi or nova lenticular,im so sorry,i'll keep update for every one.

 

[lgans316]

I think people who keep things sealed shouldn't worry too much about the Lenticular being separate. [emoji6]

the lenticular size as same as the slipcase,we glued it as same as the nova,kimchi lentislip,you will not feel its different.
you can check the kimchi or lentislip ,its aslo glued one the slip.

Hey Xin, can you clarify what you mean-so the lenti card WILL be glued to the slip now?

 

[earthscope]

Well at least I know not to ever buy a Lenticular from HDzeta...

I open all my steels and having a loose Lenticular card is pointless for me. Plus I buy exclusives for the reason they are supposed to be exclusives.
Not to play Blue Peter, arts & crafts, with the slip and some sellotape....or a glue stick...

 

[tridon]

Wow. HDzeta releases a cool exclusive and then get in crap over glue.

I see this as a plus! You get a gorgeous slipcover and a lenticular card that you can glue on, turn into magnet... hang it over your toilet if you freakin' want. Let's not kid ourselves... 3/4 of you will probably keep this sealed. I don't know. I like the fact that you get two options. I do know that if my King Kong arrives with the lenti glued on now because of moaning, I won't be happy.

 

[wxlinkswd]

We talk about the factory,they agreed gule the lenticard on the slip,its not separt after glue like the kimchi or Nova lenticular slip.
