Manta Lab

Hello, everyone.
This is John from Manta Lab and today I would like to discuss about some upcoming releases and explain some concerns from our customers.

1. Manta Lab Global #001 - Deadpool

Thanks to everyone who came to our website for the pre-order of the Deadpool and I know that many of our customers have missed out on the release. I am sincerely sorry for those who missed the release because some of the customers have been collecting from our first release and it was quite painful to read all the emails about missing the release. From the first pre-order of MOS to now, our customer pool has grown from 300 to almost 2,000 in only 3 releases at our website. With the first pre-order, I was worried about the inventory and what if customers are not aware of our product but now I am more worried that there won't be enough copies for our customers. With Exclusive release, we usually have more copies available but with Global releases, the print run will be as little as 500 to the most at 2,000. For Deadpool, I have underestimated the number of customers who are coming to the pre-order and in a few minutes (Contrary to popular belief, it didn't last seconds), few hundred copies were gone. As a result, many customers were stuck in the cart page not being able to checkout what they wanted. We have been getting more and more recognition locally and internationally and with Global releases, there might be not enough copies for all our customers. I am really sorry for the trouble but hope that our customers can understand the problems we also go through with limited print runs. We will improve our planning for the future and try our best to cater to our customers.

2. Manta Lab Global #002 - BVS

We have posted the slip designs of both Full and Lenticular and we hope you enjoyed them very much. We have been getting few questions why there isn't a 3 disc edition for the steelcase and it's because we didn't get a 3 disc SKU for steelcase in Hong Kong so we couldn't release in the 3 disc edition. We are really sorry if you were looking for the 3 disc version but with the Global release, there will be two editions (2DUE and 2D3D). We later realized that many customers wanted the 2DUE but it was too late for us to change the editions. We are putting lots of work into the production and hope to provide you with the highest quality products from us as always.

3. Next WEA Release - Constantine (ME#00?)

We have posted the teaser artwork few weeks ago and I think some of you found out about the next release right away. We shouldn't have put the hashtag #Redking in there and made it too easy to guess. This is the first title I really wanted to do because I had such a fun time watching it long time ago and found out that there's no Steelbook release for this(Not anymore because there's a German release now). This was supposed to be the first Exclusive release from us but we have given up in midway due to lack of artworks available at that time. We came up with more ideas and artworks for this particular title and hope to put a good work into designing and finalizing the release. There will be about 3 editions, including Full Slip and Lenticular slip. The number is in the question mark because we have several movies we have plans for releasing this year and maybe other titles will get released before Constantine. Thanks for the interest and support for our products.

4. More Manta Lab Global Releases

We are preparing for X-men: Apocalypse, Legend of Tarzan and Independence Day:Resurgence Manta Lab Global release and more information will be updated soon.

Thanks to everyone and I really appreciate all the love and support for our products. We are trying our best to produce great products and solve all CS issues. If you have any concerns or questions, please let us know anytime via john@mantalab.com.
