With stitching only a suspicious wife could see!

One of the most wanted Blu-Rays for many is Disney/PIXAR’s The Incredibles. This film is yet to be released in HD format, though rumors speculate a Spring 2011 release date. UPDATE: According to many outlets, an announcement of a Spring 2011 release of The Incredibles has been confirmed by an announcement in the Toy Story 3 Blu-Ray release.

In anticipation of this, I have created a special collector’s tin that comes in the form of Mr. Incredible’s “retired” blue and black uniform.

I will admit, it feels like I am cheating as I essentially turned the display case Mr. Incredible used in his study into a Blu-Ray case.

In similar fashion to my BTTF Flux Capacitor Blu-Ray case, this is an enclosed tin making up the front cover of the package. The front cover could also be flat with a sunken-in cavity for the display area, but I prefer this layout.

I was a little hesitant at first to create this, as Seinfeld once released a DVD box set with that awful shirt prominent. Who wants to buy clothes, I thought to myself. What won me over was how great the display case and uniform looked in the film. It looks like a headless action figure - with the mask floating.

Speaking of action figures, that is exactly what this case would call for. A plastic, single mold (non pose-able) action figure. I would make an optional head for Mr. Incredible, for those who would prefer that. And because it’s just an action figure, you’re looking at a $5-7 premium towards the case, making it an attractive and affordable collector’s edition.

If there is one knock against the case, it is that it represents a lone hero instead of the family foursome the film revolves around. I don’t think that will deter fans of the film!

UPDATE (Jan 10/2011): I updated the art. Here are some new pics:
