Is the front of DLA also a flip?

 

[samdavies]

Is the front of DLA also a flip?

Yes. Dla is x2 flip. Dlb has a rear flip only.

 

[Flloydo]

Ohhh man was looking forward to this but that’s pretty disappointing. Steel front is okayish but the back seems off.

The slips are all pretty poor with probably the DLs looking the best. That full slip is awful though. And the artcards! Why are the artcards so boring? This is a vibrant action packed film. Seriously why are the artcards such boring images?

I’ll probably go for the Krypto slip DLA in the end but a flip flop lenti for the front is worrying. Maybe I’ll change my mind to B

Once again the front of the OC should’ve been a slip. The full slip. Why they do this is so stupid. The OCs will always sell, just whack the shittest art available and the better ones for the slips

I'm tentative on the dla flip, too. Also, yes. OC art should have definitely been the FS. Typical manta there.

 

[The Hollow Man]

Yes. Dla is x2 flip. Dlb has a rear flip only.

Sam, can I ask what you mean by flip?

 

[SteelCollz]

Just my guesses but...

DL-A Front will probably be them both moving closer/far away just like with their original MoS lenti, would be quite a nice callback.
DL-A back will likely be the door opening as this was once an idea for the WWA slip during promotion.

 

[samdavies]

Sam, can I ask what you mean by flip?

It's a layman term for a transitional lenticular. I.e it "flips" from one image to another when tilted, as opposed to your more typical lenticular that shows "3D" movement when tilted.

Yeah that’s what I’m assuming too

That was exactly my thought. Which could either work really well, and sell it for me, or it'll ghost horribly and look sh!t.

I'm not sure what the flip will be on dlb rear. It'll probably be a simple colour change, or the super-man shadow moving - which will either enhance it, or make it look even worse lol

ok, here are the thoughts of someone with super great taste:

steelbook: front is awesome, but they should use this for the back... official asian poster

or this one

full slip: front artwork with the pet slip is a nice idea... i like it.
back is crap. would prefer this artwork

double lenti a: this should be the front artwork

double lenti b: this should be the back

huh? so wheres the link to the thoughts of the person with super good taste? i can only see the stupid drivel that you wrote

 

[jaws finatic]

Really like that DL-A.

Concerned about the final price to the U.S., which will determine pretty much everything. Not interested in getting hammered with extra taxes.

 

[Hereticz]

Easy pass

 

[Flloydo]

I honestly wish they’d swap the box art front and back for the full slip front and back. I won’t keep going on about it because I’ve now made my decision on what to go for but I just can’t work out why they keep doing this to us with the OC boxes. The best art out what you’ve chosen should be on slips not the boxes. If the film has all great art then fine but the slips here are a huge miss imo

If this was blufans and we all kicked off they’d make changes. Manta don’t seem to like feedback lol. I don’t know what’s going on recently but whoever chooses these posters and images are slipping (no pun intended). It’s all been a bit meh recently or they’ve just missed it. Not every release but quite a few.

I also don’t want to see a new what’s coming in 2026 post. Because half of them won’t come out. Just announce them as you do. Also wish that would go back to being a 2 week gap between announcements and pre orders.

Ah man and those poxy art card choices. Just winds me up. I can’t get started on that again. Rant over

Those are all infinitely better than what they've gone for. Hate all the close-up shots and random/crap back arts. Even the OC (which they usually save the best art for) is weak sauce like Paul Dano's acting and @Flloydo's awful Daniel Day-Lewis impression

I agree with you.
Manta Lab's pre-orders are coming out too early. It seems like they're rushing the design to get it out as quickly as possible.
I hope Manta Lab releases one item per month next year.
Besides, because they're rushing the pre-orders, the releases of other products have been delayed.
I really hope Manta Lab releases one item per month next year.

Alarm set for Saturday December 13th at 8pm HK time Who am I kidding... good luck to the Ninja's that are interested

P.S. I didn't realise @tha_lunatic has such taste and would class up a thread like this... I guess if he worked for collectong, his employee of the month award would be this to show their appreciation
