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).
