So I placed an order on FantasyBox’s website about 2 weeks ago. I ordered two cases (Tomb Raider 2013 and Friday the 13th the game). The total with shipping was 105 Euros (117US). At checkout I was informed a third free random case would be included with my order as a gift. The order came in the mail yesterday. The extra free case was their version of TLOU. I was pleased to see the shipping box was wrapped with shrink wrap to protect from water damage. Upon opening the box all three cases were individually shrink wrapped and sealed. Together they were wrapped in heavy bubble wrap. But they only had the plastic wrap separating the cases from touching each other. None had any damage.


I do not own an original G2 Tomb Raider steelbook. So other than the plastic insert that clearly has “FantasyBox” on it, I cannot say what the other differences may or may not be.







Here is my original TLOU on the left and FantasyBox on the right.






Original here obviously. Just for comparison.


Original is on the right side in this pic.


Original is on the left. Sorry for not keeping that straight when I took the pics.



I love this one. But it’s so glossy, it’s like fingerprint hell, lol

Thank you for sharing these pictures despite the heat you were getting.
They seem well made and I hope you enjoy them.

Still, I can't end my comment without mentioning that I will never buy from them, no matter how good these steels might look. Blind trades (not showing it's a knock off) will hurt our hobby down the road if Fantasybok keeps flooding these into the market.
Stay vigilant in this regard boys and girls!

Btw. pricing for these is way to high. Everything beyond 25€ for a "retail" steelbook is pushing it.

Thanks for sharing and yes, I wouldn't purchase from them either seeing that they aren't selling pure custom steelbooks and instead ripping off someone elses work. I rather pay someone who can make custom steelbooks itself, and it costs around the same, excellent quality and also your own choice of artwork.

P/S: Even the internal artwork for Last of Us is a rip off, original is by the artist Krzysztof Domaradzki.
