For decades, Chucky has terrorized audiences and cemented himself as an iconic horror figure. Following a prolific film series and a recent TV show, this murderous doll remains a prominent character. Fans can soon enhance their collections with two new special editions from the Chucky franchise: Chucky: The Complete Series Limited Edition Steelbook and a new 4K edition of the 1988 original film, Child`s Play Limited Edition Steelbook, which will be an Amazon exclusive.
Amazon-exclusive collector`s editions often sell out quickly, and the TV series box set is expected to be particularly popular. This Limited Edition Steelbook marks the first complete Blu-ray release for the show, with no standard edition currently announced. Steelbook editions for TV series are less common, as seen with Star Trek: Lower Decks, which sold out swiftly upon its release.
Chucky: The Complete Series Limited Edition Steelbook (Blu-ray)
The Chucky: The Complete Series Steelbook features all 24 episodes of the Syfy series across six Blu-ray discs. The show, a direct sequel to the 2017 film Cult of Chucky, was canceled last fall after its third season. Despite a comedic tone, it maintains the franchise`s signature gruesome murders and features Brad Dourif reprising his role as the voice of Chucky, making it a highly recommended watch for fans of the films.
The steelbook`s cover art, while not entirely new, presents a striking image of Chucky against a school locker, a design previously used for Season 1 promotions, albeit with a different text overlay. The back cover is adorned with polaroid-style pictures showcasing various characters and franchise references. Opening the steelbook reveals the inside of Chucky’s locker, complete with additional photos and a bloody knife, humorously implying his disdain for academic subjects.
Consistent with many TV series on physical media, Chucky is presented in 1080p Blu-ray, offering Dolby Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 support. While bonus features are limited, all six discs include deleted scenes, alongside a featurette titled `The Legacy of Chucky.` The entire series boasts approximately 19 hours of content.
A DVD box set version is also available, which does not include the steelbook case. Furthermore, each of the three seasons can be purchased individually on Blu-ray.
Child`s Play Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray)
The Child`s Play Limited Edition Steelbook offers a chance to experience the iconic film in stunning detail. This edition includes both 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray versions, derived from a 4K scan of the original camera negative. It supports Dolby Atmos, Dolby Vision, and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The steelbook itself features a striking close-up of Chucky, and a third standard Blu-ray disc is packed with extensive bonus features, including:
- Behind-the-scenes special effects footage
- Howard Berger: Your Special Effects Friend `Til The End – Interview with special makeup effects artist
- Life Behind the Mask: Being Chucky – Interview with Ed Gale
- Evil Comes in Small Packages – Interviews with Don Mancini, David Kirschner, Kevin Yagher, and more

The disc content mirrors that of the 2022 original 4K Collector`s Edition.
