The pics make me wish I can sleep until the mailman arrives with the package lol

Wow. Looks amazing. At a first glance, it looked wurple (lol) but it does look white. Great package from Manta. Well done boys.

Now matte boys, here you go. A wonderful glossy Steel with no scratches.

What a piece of art, that steelbook!

I Love this movie so much happy we get a WEA for it and from Manta !!! Looking forward very much to the Sequel !
Still Love my FAC edition though, Love that WWA Steel and that Flip Flop Lenti ! Also Love the Japanese Digibook Edition, what a nice one

...Can't wait to add the Manta one to join my others ...Love the Back art of that 1/4 Slip such a nice choice of a Kick-Ass artwork

Oh this is Cool so much excitement

Only 5 days from Hong Kong to Illinois via standard shipping. Not too shabby!

This is a perfect example of a white steelbook done right. They laid down a thick layer of white paint to provide a solid, striking base and then applied the other colors as an additional layer on top (then gloss over that). Painting it this way gives the top layer/layers a subtle, almost embossed effect, which I think looks superb.

I took some up close shots of the finish to show you the effect. Sure is a glossy bugger!

 

[misformatt]

The one-click box is also of quality. The magnets that secure the flap are strong and make the lid close with a nice snap, and the overall finish of the cardboard has a nice texture in hand.

I haven't had a chance to open all the steels yet, but I did crack open the lenti. Like the box, it looks and feels quite nice in hand. Perhaps not as heavy as a chunky, card stock full slip, but it will not be mistaken for a standard PET slip by any means. The lenti effect itself doesn't bowl me over--especially compared to Manta's past offerings--but it's still solid. All of the blank space around the artwork limits the lenticular to some degree, which I think was mentioned way back when the first lenti samples were published.

One thing I hadn't seen confirmed before (I may have missed it), is the back of the PET lenti is also a lenticular image. The effect is minimal, as it's only 2-3 layers, but combined with the red/gold transition on the spine, it makes for a rather novel, solid looking slip all-round.

Cool pics. Cracking set. That reflection shows why Gloss is king.

Wait a minute..shame it is NOT matte which can make gloss Steels look shite lol.

Thanks! I'll try to post the other slips this evening if time allows.

I guess my love affair with Manta continues--eBay prices be damned!

Thanks for the pics @misformatt! I didn't realise the lenti Slip had a lenticular image on the back! Looks great!

Hold on, hold on!

The back of the lenti slip is a lenti too?
A double sided lenti?

I was aware of the spine but I did not know the back was lenticular too!! Cool

I'm pretty sure they never stated that.... A nice surprise

Yep it was a surprise to me aswell. I don't believe they ever mentioned it. I'm glad I picked the Lenti version!

Me too

I wasn't impressed with the mock at first and the fact it was more like a PET but I liked the rest of the package and steel. Suppose it's more unique than usual and happy I went for it now.

Still can't work out how they have made a lenti on a PET style slip though,
looking forward to working that one out when I get it lol

 

[misformatt]

I was able to snap a few pics of the other slips. Artificial light isn't great, but not much I can do about that at the moment.

I think the holofoil was tastefully done here, and it's not at all overpowering in hand. All the trim bits are gold foil, which looks quite sharp against the black background. The characters are embossed on both the front and back. Also of note is the glossed panel on the rear cover that contains the characters is raised a bit from the surface of the slip. It looks like it has been applied as a thick layer of spot gloss across the entire panel. It gives the slip some extra heft and just makes the whole package appear a bit more top shelf (imo).

 

[misformatt]

Honestly, this was the slip I was least excited to get my hands on, as I found the artwork a bit boring. Having it in hand though...wow! What a difference a proper finish can make.

Every inch of the slip that isn't spot glossed features the lightly embossed Kingsman logo pattern, and--I must say--to hold it is to love it. The premium finish just exudes quality. Much like the other full slip, the spot gloss here is copious and thickly applied. I still think the artwork is a bit on the safe side, but you couldn't ask for a better finished slip.

 

[extantsrevenge]

I have to admit this is a fine release, but I`m happy with my Filmarena Edition. I thought the Movie was good but 4 more Editions, no thank you. Still really nice

 

[lgans316]

This is now a strong contender for Steelbook release of 2017. I think this is the best Manta Lab release till date.
