Product Review
2013 Cryptozoic Fringe Seasons 3 and 4 Product Review
Reviewed by Ryan Cracknell
Good: Several key stars on autograph checklist, Wardrobe Cards include only main characters, clear images on base cards.
Bad: Lack of inspiring inserts, break is somewhat bland as majority of packs only have base cards.
The Bottom Line: 2013 Cryptozoic Fringe Seasons 3 & 4 does a good job of covering the middle part of the series. It also gives collectors a second chance at autographs from top actors like Anna Torv and John Noble. But at the same time, it's not very exciting. From pack to pack, there's little variety as the inserts are relatively few. On top of that, they don't show nearly as much imagination as the TV series does.
Card Design: 3.5/5.0
Unlike a lot of sets based on TV shows and movies, Fringe Seasons 3 & 4 has stellar images throughout. They're all sharp, focusing on the characters. This might seem like a given, but you might be surprised how many sets arrive with grainy and blurry shots.
Inserts are a little more of a mixed bag. Autographs are on-card, a major plus. The Wardrobe Cards are my favourite in the release. They offer a nice balance of images, color and white space. The basic inserts are something of a disappointment. Behind the Scenes has a different look and unseen shots, but they're not enhanced in any way. The Other Side uses foil so they look different. Again, though, they lack a sense of being truly special.
Checklist: 3.5/5.0
Like the first Fringe set, Seasons 3 & 4 does a great job with the autographs. While there's no Joshua Jackson this time, there is small screen legend Leonard Nimoy. Most of the big names have signed before, but they were extremely tough to find.
The Wardrobe Card checklist is large and focuses only on key characters. So even if you land a lesser signature, you should find a big card that focuses on a central player.
Value: 3.0/5.0
Yes, you're going to get a base set. There's also the autograph and costume card, which can be hit or miss. But there's not much else. With so many packs that just have base cards, it means two things: lots of duplicates and an added reliance of which hits you get. Even if the number of insert sets doesn't change, it'd make a big difference if they used a different type of technology like lenticular cards to flip between the show's two universes.
The Fun Factor: 3.0/5.0
It was tough to get really excited about Fringe Seasons 3 and 4. It covers the show just fine and offers a chance at some great signatures. But that's about it. The lack of variety over the course of a box definitely hurts. As a result, the appeal is likely going to be for the show's die-hard fans, more so than the usual entertainment trading card set.
