KOSM - King of Steel Media: CS Custom Steelbooks Эксклюзивы

Dear Customers


We have some unfortunate news regarding Godzilla Minus One.
King of Steel Media has worked very hard ensuring that projects are not only acceptable but of a high artist standard. It has been very clear from the start that the CS series is a Custom Series, unofficial and for fans of movies. Custom Steelbooks and slipcovers are universally accepted by the collecting community and many individuals have had custom steelbook businesses and have been very successful. We have done our research and as long as certain criteria is met, custom projects are perfectly acceptable.
However it seems someone in their spite has reported our Godzilla project to Toho studios as if the project is an official distribution project. It has been clear from the beginning that it is an unofficial custom and purely a KOSM original creation with only our logo, no studio logos or affiliation or even discs. We have also paid an artist to the rights to use artwork for the project! Besides this we were also making arrangements to get the distribution rights for discs.
However despite all of this, a legal representative from Toho has reached out to us and have warned us that even as a Custom project or a fan art project they forbid us to proceed with the project or face legal consequences. This is very sad news considering that hundreds of custom projects are produced by Physical media collectors each year.

We are very sorry to all those that have been looking forward to this project as much as us, however we do not wish to rock the boat with Toho studios. Sadly we will no longer be able to proceed with this project and all customers will be immediately refunded.
It’s a sad day for us, but we do not let it defeat us – instead we use it as an opportunity to move forward. Our Creative Plus projects will be Officially licensed projects.
Our CS Series projects will continue- however we will be much more selective regarding the titles and the artwork used.
Once again – we sincerely apologise for this development and hope that you continue to support us, especially as we move forward with our licensed creative plus series

Please do not send us messages about this as I’m very disappointed in this development and the individuals involved in making this happen. Competition is a normal part of business - unfortunately some stoop to extreme levels to eliminate the competition.
However KOSM will NOT stop and our projects will CONTINUE and we are working on Officially licensed projects and having meeting with studios - who are much more accommodating.
Thank you to all the individuals who believe in us and will continue to support us



Kind regards
Michael
