Hopefully it's a real foldout and not the thing from the headcase stuffed in a box

It looks like it's the head stuffed in a box. You can see where they eye from the head will show in the camera.

Actually, this cover art puzzles me, because it's hard to tell who is supposed to be taking the picture (or if we're supposed to be able to tell). At first I would assume that Marge is taking the picture of herself and her family, but that doesn't explain the eye that is showing in the camera! It can't be Marge's eye, since we can see her whole face. But it's a very nice cover, otherwise. I like the colours and the appearance of the family.

Yeah, it looks cool, and it seems like they're going to somehow stick with the new season 6 style packages..

If you read the article it says that the other packaging is, "is in the same format as the Simpsons Season 1-5 digipacks." Plus FOX already said they would offer both head and digipak options in the season 7 announcement.

I think the person taking the picture is supposed to be you, the viewer, the person looking at the family. I have a feeling that the packaging inside is going to be the same style as that for season 6, not for seasons 1-5. The reason I say this is because of the trick with the eye again, and because it would likely save Fox some money if all they did was changing the outside case. Just my thinking though. I'm personally going to be collecting the heads just because they're different and the blue looks really good.

Once again, FOX already specifically said the DIGIPAK will be offered! Sure they may have foolded us into thinking the mail in offer was going to be a digipak, but that doesn't appear to be the case for season 7.

Season 7 for R1 is being released in the same manner as season 6 was in R2. A limited edition HEAD and the DIGIPAK.

If it was just the insides of the head w/ the crappy slipcover like season 6, then they would have just offered it through the mail or included it with the head.

Breathe...

Marge's head couldn't be in the box, then what would be the point of buying her head by itself? Plus Fox already said that Marge's head was limited edition.

If you didn't know we were talking about dvd boxes, the above paragraph would sound really weird.

When did Fox ever say that specifically? I don't think they did. The DVD Times blurb is ambiguous in the Digipak regard, IMO....stating that "The second package will be available at street date and on an on-going basis, and is in the same format as the Simpsons Season 1-5 digipacks".

Could "format" here = "general box shape (i.e., square)"?

I say, Your Honor, Yes, it could mean only this.

Not necessarily true at all. The mail-in/separate website offer was no doubt a pain in the a*s for Fox -- so why would they want to go through that hell yet again if they could avoid it with relative ease?

And including an open-top VHS-like box automatically with every single "Big Head" purchase would be completely wasteful on Fox's part (since it's redundant, with half of the boxes probably ending up in File 13).

If the "Standard" box is a full-fledged Digipak, then it's a mighty amazing coincidence (IMO) that the eyeball on the front of the Digipak matches precisely where the "eye" would shine through a "cut-out" if it was a crappy open-top box.

Odds please?

No way this is a Digipak (too big of a coincidence re. the "eye hole", right down to the black line representing Marge's eyelash showing through the camera).......

Was the regular package for season 6 R2 a digipak and if so does anybody know where I can some pictures of it. I'd like to see how they handled it.
