Why Is the Blufans Exclusive Release of The Hobbit Trilogy Steelbook Still Considered a WEA Steelbook?

Blufans initially submitted several exclusive WEA (Worldwide Exclusive Artwork) designs for The Hobbit trilogy. However, the production company ultimately decided not to approve any new steelbook designs. As a result, only a limited selection of designs from the existing steelbook art pool was available. Despite these limitations, this set stands out as the best choice for several reasons:

Exclusive Steelbook Embossing and Finish:
While the cover is not WEA, this steelbook is still a BE (Blufans Exclusive) release, featuring significant differences from the WWA (Worldwide Artwork) steelbook with similar covers. It is the only steelbook in The Hobbit series with embossing, adding a unique texture and depth to the design. The high-gloss (Full Glossy) finish further enhances its premium look, in contrast to the matte finish of the WWA edition.

Exclusive Inner Artwork:
The inner artwork is uniquely designed by Blufans and completely distinct from the WWA steelbook, adding another layer of exclusivity to this set.

Unique Title and Spine:
The cover title features a cleaner and more elegant design. The spine design is entirely different from the WWA edition, incorporating an updated 4K logo.

Blufans’ The Hobbit trilogy follows a design approach consistent with its exclusive The Lord of the Rings trilogy release. Although details about the slipcase design have yet to be revealed, fans of Blufans’ The Lord of the Rings sets can expect a similarly stunning and cohesive look for The Hobbit release. You can trust that this set will be a proud addition to your Blufans collection, matching perfectly with The Lord of the Rings trilogy for a beautiful display!
