The Phantasm: Sphere Collection [Blu-ray]

At this point, if you are lucky enough to find one, buy it! The bonus features are actually interesting. I was close to giving it 4 stars only because the sphere itself is not perfect. The seamline is easily visible where they did whatever they did to try to hide it. It almost appears as a flat band around the entire sphere. But since I'm not even displaying mine, I'm good with it. I Just wanted the discs!

Coolest blu ray collection ever. This is a must buy for any horror fan

So excite to get and greatly disappointed to open box and see a damaged item. One side badly damaged,seal broken like it had been opened, and box ripped inside. This is a collector item! box condition is very important. Very disappointed that best buy would send a product out in this condition. Called customer service resending item.

I wasn’t able to get the first Phantasm box set that was released when the fifth film came out, but I was able to pick up this beauty on release day. Film-wise you get the Bad Robot remastered version of Phantasm with more special features than the stand-alone remastered blu-Ray. Also a newly remastered version of Phantasm 2 with additional gore that had to be cut originally to avoid an x-rating. I don’t have the Scream Factory Phantasm 2, so I can’t compare but this is the first time the additional gore scenes have been shown. Also included are the third film, part 4 Oblivion and the final film Ravager as well as a bonus disc that focuses mainly on Ravager. For packaging, the discs are packed into a nice digibook with glossy pages. I would have preferred individual slip cases or plastic holders to the cardboard sleeves but the digibook is still nice. The down side is that the discs are just black with the film titles on them. The inside covers have the original poster art for each film but the seam runs right through part 3 Lord of the Dead, so that’s a bit of a con compared to Well Go’s previous box set that had individual slip cases with reversible cover art. The big draw though is the inclusion of a screen accurate scale ball (a clear stand and attachable spikes are included in the box). It is packaged in some impressive artwork of the Tall Man, Reggie, Mike, Jody and the Cuda with rose colored stained glass illustrations. The entire box set is designed to look like a mausoleum or marble urn down to the rivets on the side of the digibook making it look like a name plate. Overall this or the previous set Well Go put out are the best option for franchise fans. I would have loved the full sized poster from the last Well Go box set but getting a sphere replica and new cut of part 2 in its place is awesome.

Beautiful sphere Collection... Went out of stock too quick... It popped back up on on Bestbuy site for a minute so I ordered 2... (4 me and friend).. Days later it was OOP... Very glad to have one!! PII is nicely remastered with gorious extra footage.. ball is coming for you!

This is an amazing box set of the 5 Phantasm movies. The bonus disc has some very cool features. But the star of the set is the Sphere prop replica. It looks good in the box but even cooler opened and assembled on your shelf. If you are a Phan you can not go wrong with this set.

Horrible shipping, came smashed. Great product but shipping box was okay, item was shipped smashed.

The only negative thing I can say is that it is a little dificult to remove from the box. Other than that, this is a must have for any Phantasm fan! Beautiful high quality packaging that once you recieve will definately be worth the price point!
