Walt Disney Steelbooks
The Disney/Pixar steelbook waves began in June 2013 with Pixar's Finding Nemo as the first release, and what a release it was! Limited to just 4,000 copies with world exclusive artwork, a top quality finish and some of the best embossing we've ever seen on a steelbook. That was then followed with Disney's Aladdin, again with a great design and a fantastic finish with a glorious deep purple gloss paint used with an embossed gold title.
Later in 2013 the steelbooks began to get a bit of stick from collector's, this was down to several things, firstly the print runs of Jungle Book & Little Mermaid are in excess of 10,000 which lead to Zavvi offering them at reductions of 60%+ in the sales, much to the dismay of people who had paid full price. Then the quality seemed to dip, with releases like Planes & Cars feeling very cheap with blank J-cards and matte finishes.
That said, in 2014 Zavvi seem to be back on track with fantastic releases such as Cinderella and Bambi, both of which have full gloss finishes with matching J-cards and also brilliant embossed artwork.
