I'm happy with the front and plain back, just think they could of made more effort inside including other characters. Definitely WON'T be returning it!

 

[smileyx9]

after seeing the live Pics ,i`m glad i canceled it. Very poor Design-you could have done better,Zavvi. Totaly overpriced

The quality of the Disney Steels are dropping gradually with the price increasing for no reason:

1. Roger Rabbit - 13.99 - Cream of the crop
2. Aladdin - 17.99
3. Jungle Book - 22.99
4. The Little Mermaid - 22.99

That`s true but TJB was still worth the Money

Just got mine in perfect condition , god knows how in this **** packaging

The foam is that thin if I wiped my bum with it my finger would probably poke through

 

[thecardman23]

Wow.. I have NO idea what you guys are all complaining about. I think it looks fantastic!!

Love the title embossing and border. Sure I would have preferred no raised border and gloss finish but its region free (unlike Jungle Book) and I'm more than happy with it.

 

[dfoles]

The outside looks fine.

Hate the inside. What a waste. If you're not going to try, just save the paint and leave the inside blank.

They should've taken a note from the Finding Nemo Steelbook/VMB

Zavvi Exclusive
Little Mermaid:


Embossed Title
Clean back
All round simple


Over priced
1 disc
Poor inside artwork
High print run

Zavvi take note if you want to stay in business.

 

[GenPion]

It looks nice and elegant. Simplicity is sometimes the best recipe. However, I agree that this is over-priced for just one-disc. I still want the steelbook but a price-drop would be something to help convince me to order again (I cancelled the pre-order). I mean, I want the US release anyway to get the 3D disc.

 

[javidial]

I will get this today I'm guessing.

I agree that the quality is rubbish for the price. I think I'm going to stop collecting steelbooks from zavvi. I will buy the one that I really like if the price isn't bad.

The 3D version in EEUU seems a much better deal.

 

[justboy]

Well I can see why Zavvi didn't show the back or inside art before.
They had nothing to show!
On one hand it is simple and elegant, but on the ther hand it's quite dull considering the rich source material.
I'll still be keeping mine when it arrives though, but just with a hint of disappointment.

No wonder they never posted pics of the back art or inside artwork. Once again I am glad I cancelled all of my orders months back. A lack of content and lazy designs were the main reasons in addition to never knowing if the steel is flat or has a overused border. I could never get past the fact this did not have the 3D disc.

I am awaiting a proper release for most Disney titles. Won't be ordering the upcoming unannounced titles yet if this is the trend. In addition to shoddy packaging, I am hesitant to even place an order for titles I'd be interested in.

I hope Asia can do this justice down the line or even Germany where they don't skimp on content and publish art accordingly

 

[mdewater]

Add my voice to the dissappointment. Here's hoping wel'll see a different Little Mermaid steel from someone else

+1 i`d rather stay with my printed Back Lentis and the upcomming Asia Steels -more expensive but worth it

did you really expected something else after jb?

 

[Kobi]

Mine came! Its in great condition too. I've been lucky with all my zavvi releases.

 

[Mrhoyt]

I like it nice and clean, dont really care about whats on the back or whats inside as i'll keep it sealed.

 

[yy0925]

Just curious: if I refuse the parcel and it goes back to Zavvi, will I get refund automatically?

 

[mdewater]

I don't think anybody's surprised by the back. But until this release, Zavvis inside art has been pretty great, including Jungle Book. I was definitely expecting something more than just more nothing.

 

[SimonLDT]

Don't forget guys that it's more likely Disney's fault for this poor artwork as usually they have final say. However, Zavvi should have shown the full mock-up on site. It makes it look suspicious that no mock-ups for the rear and inside were uploaded and low and behold they're 95% blank!

Personally I could understand the back being like that with the bubbles (simple, stylish) but it should have been full gloss and the inside should have been really bright and colourful with all the other characters in the film portrayed.

Lazy all round. Thankfully saw it coming a mile off so managed to cancel last weekend.
