Congrats Met! Looks like you got your 15 minutes of featurette fame! 😀
(MET: Thanks!)
why is kabuto pictured? is it included in one of the sets? that would be weird.
I’m guessing Met is Kabuto in the featurette? 🙄
I don’t have a Blu Ray player, but if I buy the Blu Ray combo pack with
the regular DVD inside, are these bonus features on that ‘regular DVD’ also?

(MET: I believe the extras are only on the Blu Ray – if you buy the 4K disc, I believe only the movie is in 4K, the extras are on a “HD-only” Bu Ray disc).
