Alternate Season Six Boxes Arrive

Adam — Sat, 24 Sep 2005 18:28:20 +0000

Those who applied for the cardboard alternative box to The Simpsons: The Complete Sixth Season early should soon begin to see the covers arriving in the mail. Several people have already received the box which comes in a flat envelope. That means the box itself arrives flat and is perforated for you to easily assemble yourself. As expected, the outside box contains a transparent hole in the magnifying glass. The cardboard Homer head from your existing plastic packaging will slide into the new box to complete the design seen on the left. Buyers in the UK and Australia can purchase this box by default once the limited supply of Homer heads run out.

Alternate Season Six DVD Box Art

This is it, folks. Fox TV UK have revealed the alternate Season 6 DVD packaging via a press release on their website, stating that this box will be the norm for buyers in the UK. The Homer’s Head packaging is being labelled as a ‘limited edition’. This is the same box that be sent to those in the USA who requested it. While it has still noticably veered away from the original couch designs you’ve come to expect, the same cardboard format will be used. The Homers Head packaging will be restricted to just a run of 50,000 in the UK and for those who are not “lucky” enough to snap this up will be able to pick up Season 6 in its original magnifying glass packaging.

On closer inspection of the alternate box, the cardboard frame will still contain a peephole which was usually occupied by the television screen. The shape of Homer’s eye through the magnifying glass matches the inside packaging of the plastic Homer’s head set.

No word yet on how the set will be released in Region 4 (Australia).

Rumours have swept the internet over the last week relating to a slipcard contained in the Season 6 DVD set offering an alternate box to the Homer’s head casing. The details were met with speculation after the phone number published on the card was misprinted, however it has been confirmed that an alternate packaging will be offered. The card reads “For all those anal-retentive nerds who like their DVD boxes to line up perfectly on the shelf… For all those who dislike storing their digital media inside a hollowed out human head, have we got a deal for you. Just Call 1-800-###-### for a very derivative old-style, just like before box with almost nothing new or creative to annoy or terrify you. Enjoy.” TVShowsOnDVD have more info for you, and we’ll follow this up on Tuesday when Fox will release a website containing information and images on the alternate packaging.

Season 6: Inside Homer’s Head

Adam — Fri, 05 Aug 2005 18:56:59 +0000

TVShowsOnDVD have just released images of the inside of the new Homer’s head packaging for The Simpsons: The Complete Sixth Season. The set which is released on August 16 has been criticised for its out of the norm packaging, but fans may view the new design in a different light knowing what’s inside and how the set looks on its spine. The head is an outer case, which once opened contains another cardboard cover which opens in a book format. The spine design (ie how it appears on your shelf) is similar to that of the previous five sets. Full pictures can be seen at TVShowsOnDVD which is just one click away.

The DVDs for this season will come packaged inside Homer’s head, but don’t worry, we’ve been assured it’ll fit on your bookself. There are plans to release seasons 7-10 in the heads of the other family members, though we don’t know what order they will be in and we’re a little worried about the size of a Marge head. The set will be available in the US on August 16th, retailing for $49.98, and other countries are sure to follow before the year’s end. Enjoy the artwork!

Adam — Wed, 02 Feb 2005 10:00:00 +0000

TVShowsOnDVD.com were contacted by Fox and told that the 6th season street date has not yet been announced, and that the information posted to the FoxTVDVD.com website was incorrect. The Season Six DVD will NOT be released on June 14th. The Simpsons Channel has in turn decided to pull this news item so there isn’t confusion with consumers. If you’ve linked to this story from another site please pass the message on to them. So the question still remains as to when the set will be releaed. We’re guessing it’s close to the announced date, and there’s always the chance that it’ll arrive earlier! Stay tuned and we’ll let you know.
