I see that the sleeves of the upcoming 007 Blu-ray's largely replicate the Japan "50th Anniversary TV Edition - dubbed" DVD series which was released in 2012 (see http://007homevideo.com/dvd_standouts_ja_tvdubbed.html ).

Although the web-link only displays 6 of the 22 sleeves in the 2012 Japan series, I am submitting some comparison images of the sleeves from the two series to illustrate the impact of the airbrushing, and other changes, of the upcoming Blu-ray key art.

    Great find man .. Noticed that OHMSS poster is the only one different.. The japanese one is better .. But seems like a copy paste for the rest .. No creativity , Im disappointed:(

    LOL, it's as if Craig's grittier, darker era is reflected in the slightly more grey-scale colors :-P.

    Anyway, I think I love these covers:

    Interesting, in Japan all of the above cover sleeves were double-sided. And the other side had the Ultimate Edition cover-art, including Ultimate Edition-art for "Casino Royale" and "Quantum Of Solace":
