The first year, it was a zombie head. The second year, a zombie head with a screwdriver in its eye.And for season three, AMC’s The Walking Dead will provide those who purchase the Limited Edition Blu-ray with no fewer than five zombie heads…floating in aquariums.Unveiled over at MTV Geek, the Limited Edition Blu-ray casing gives fans the opportunity to bring The Governor’s creepy man cave home with them, by way of a home video case designed by McFarlane Toys.”AMC gave us the news that The Governor was going to be in Season Three and was in all the scripts, but they didn’t even know what he was going to look like yet!” said Todd McFarlane. “So we knew we wanted to do something that reflected that, and was cool and creepy and the same time.””McFarlane has a very intimate relationship with AMC, so I was approving concepts on this Blu-Ray case before Season Three even aired,” said The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. “So while we were building things on set, Todd and the team at McFarlane Toys were coming in and scanning actors and scanning props. So having them come in and do the fish tank with the severed heads while we were still building it for the show is a pretty cool thing, and I think makes these products much more accurate and cooler for the fans.”And, yes, you can fill up the aquariums yourself.No, we’re not kidding.The heads can be moved around, repositioned , etc., with the goal being to make each case unique.McFarlane elaborated, “We thought it would be fun for the consumer, after buying the case and taking it home, had to get a little interactive, because we’re not supplying the water! So you’re going to have to fill up the tanks yourself, and we’ve got little hooks on the heads, so you can arrange them any way you see fit. You can hang them in a certain order, or you can just let them go to the ground and flop around. No one person’s case has to be exactly like the other’s.”The Spawn creator added that there’s a wood panel between the aquariums and the area where the discs are held, to prevent the discs or their backings getting wet.No specific date has been set for the home video release.
