This looks better than expected. The sticker with the blood is a nice touch

Feels like the FS might have the best art, hopefully the lenticulars are nice and clear.

DL arrived today and as expected it’s very nice.

The SB, which is of course great but if it didn’t have the bossing on the front I would still say that the Play SB is better so that just says how good that SB was.

Which DL did you go for? What are the lenti flip effects on it?

Both lentis should be here by the end of the week. They better turn out good or I’m gona be well gutted about not going for that FS. Looks really good, just don’t like the back

DL B. There is a nice effect on Rorschach’s mask other than that nothing special.

 

[Punker76]

Very interested to see how the lentis turned out.

Oh, okay. So it's just the ink blots moving around on his mask transitioning, but the rest of the image is 3D depth only?

Got both lentis in hand. Hate to say it, but they are not best Manta´s effort unfortunately. Lenti b looks like old Cinemuseum lentis, nice depth, but the characters and object in it are flat as a pancake lol. At least the rorschach´s mask is changing. I like lenti a better. Overall it´s not bad though, was just expecting la creme de la creme and it´s not

That looks excellent. Nice clean simple transition on the front. Not sure that quote transition was needed on the rear, but it's not an issue.
