You don't like Filmarena lentis but you like this?

This looks pixelly AF!

I don’t understand this argument because all lentis are pixelated to a degree. Some worse than others yeah but all lentis are when you properly look at them. But you always mention this about lentis and it’s also so hard to get a good image and videos of lentis. You should also know this by now. Whenever I see a poor lenti in a video it usually turns out better in hand.

I’ve only ever said the film arena lenti for deadpool was sh!t because It’s the only one I’ve had in hand and it was sh!t. Other than that when it comes to FAs lentis I’ve always complained about transitional lentis when they change to a completely different image and the same criticism I’ve said about other transitional lentis from other retailers like the Weet homecoming lenti more recently. However overall I’m not a fan of FA as most know. But I’ve always praised the good parts of their releases (the few WEA steels and the odd slip)

Just think in comparison with DS, DS has a better box, better FS (well the Comic Slip), nicer steel and personally I prefer the 1/4 slip and lenti magnet combo over Wandavision's DL that's a bit lazy

DS box is certainly better. But we can’t even bring the Comic FS into the chat for comparison because it’s a side slip or DS. And yeah I hope they carry that on even tho black widow was missing it. But the DS white FS looks poor and boring so already wandavision FS is better. And the WV DL looks clearer than DS DL due to the artwork on the DS lenti being much darker. I also think both steels look great but slightly prefer the wandavision steel. Besides the blufans DS steel looks slightly better than mantas anyway. 1/4 is pointlessly boring (on any release) but at lest the lenti magnet is decent.

And you also comparing a release that had more slips a 1/4 slip, lenti magnet and a lenti on the OC box to this that has 2 slips and a box. it’s just so different. Quality wise between lentis, slip and steels fine

As I said I’ll have it in hand tomorrow and I’ll happily compare it to the DS DL

In complete honesty, the front lenti is excellent and clear. In fact one of the clearer lentis I’ve seen from Manta in a long time. The back however is a mess. That video picks up the transitions so much easier than the naked eye. It’s really hard to see and it’s too blurry. Looking at it through my phone and it’s fine but the naked eye it just don’t work. The front however is brilliant

Another criticism which I said from the start is the art cards. Just 3 art cards of the title screen is rubbish Imo. Instead of the art and character cards inside the steel they’ve put them in the thin crappy envelope this CP line has. Honestly they could of added so much more artworks and stills from the show. It’s just lazy

Can't say I'm surprised. A 3 way transition is always risky, especially when it's a full image flip like that. Typical the front is fine.. would've been better if both sides had a single transition.

So DS is better then

So DS is better then

Tough one. Both DS lentis on the DL are decent but they are dark. Both the DS lenti clarity’s are better then than the WV back lenti but the front smashes most lentis manta have put out this year. Not sure if it’s just the perfect image to use but the clarity is crazy good in hand.

So both the DS lentis are better than the back of wandavision but the front smashes both DS lentis

You’ve got yours in hand now right? What’s your take on the WV DL?
