Avengers Collection Blu-Ray Case
It’s been a looong time since I posted a Blu-Ray case design (October 12th!), apologies for that. There was once a time this blog was quite popular for those. I chalk it up to not really buying packaged media anymore.
This is a case designed to hold a plethora of Marvel films that constitute The Avengers, both the team and their respective solo outings. It is based on the Helicarrier, which is the Avengers and SHIELD’s flying fortress (I’m sure you knew that).
This massive case is designed to hold at least 11 discs. If the opening flaps held discs the number can grow to 18. Additional partitions could add even more - room for all those special edition discs too. The main hull could be purposed to hold dozens of discs for all your Marvel superhero movies (though I’d prefer something like this instead).
This is a really basic version of the Helicarrier. If I had more reference I could go to town making it look more authentic, but this should give you the rough idea. I feel like Doc Brown apologizing that it is not to scale.
One feature would be removable “wings”, which would act like individual cases. Very handy not just for everyday use, but it would make for smaller packaging if this became a product. Wouldn’t want a huge box hogging up all the shelf space at Best Buy.
Speaking of the size, I know it’s pretty big (the biggest I designed), but it’s not completely out of reason. I estimate 20″ long, 16″ wingspan, and 12″ tall.
This is a case designed to hold all current and future Avenger films. But what really bums me out for these films and other franchises that appear to be here for the next several years (e.g. Game of Thrones), is that releases a few years from now might not be issued on Blu-Ray or DVD. It’ll be sort of weird to have an incomplete collection.
Anyways I hope you liked this Blu-Ray case design and I hope you check out the rest.

This would be sick!!!! I’d buy this in a heart beat!! Any chance this would actually get made?
A slim chance. I know a few people in the packaged media biz, and they say most of my designs are way too expensive.
There is the odd release that can justify such a pricey case, like the recent Harry Potter chest case, or the Aliens head one from a few years ago.
The only way I see this happen is if a toy boutique like Matty Collector decided to issue this for collectors (minus all the discs).
I don’t think physical media will completely go the way of VHS anytime soon.
I’d say it has a few years left, maybe 5 tops. Currently packaged media sales are a shadow of their halcyon days of the late 90′s/early 00′s, and digital distribution is growing every year [citation needed].
This case is absolutely amazing! I’d buy one in a heartbeat. The Helicarrier is so epic.
