We’ve seen some extremely cool packaging for DVD and/or Blu-ray releases over the years, but we have to say that the case designed by McFarlane Toys for “The Walking Dead” Season 2 Special Edition Blu-ray pretty much takes the cake.

Here’s what MTV Geek learned about the case:

Based on an actual television zombie bust designed by Emmy™ Award-winning Special Effects Make-up Supervisor and Co-Executive Producer Greg Nicotero and KNB EFX Group, the Special Edition Blu-ray will be distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The prototype will be featured at the McFarlane Toys booth during Toy Fair, along with a number of other zombie-related goodies.

When compared to the Blu-ray packaging hidden in the neck, the head isn’t quite life-size, but let’s not nitpick. As soon as pre-orders are available, you can be sure we’ll be getting one for the Dread Central offices! Hit up the below link to see more from every angle.
