Limited Edition Blu-Ray of The Walking Dead season 7 includes Winslow
By Adam Carlson
Fans looking to pick up the limited edition Blu-Ray set of The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season are in for a treat, as the set features Winslow.
As previously announced, the standard edition of The Walking Dead: The Complete Seventh Season comes with Negan gracing the cover and 5 discs of episodes and special features for fans to enjoy.
However, there are some fans that want to go the extra mile and pick up the Limited Edition set. Last year, this Todd McFarlane designed statuette featured one of the walkers trying to squeeze between trucks. This year, another zombie is featured.
That walker in is Winslow. For those who don’t remember him by name, he was the armored zombie in the pit being held by The Scavengers who was used to test Rick Grimes to see if he was worthy of making a deal with or not.
YahooTV got a first look at the amazing statue that will accompany the Limited Edition set. Here is what it will look like:
The detail on this statue is amazing. Even from this photo, it is easy to see how much effort was put into making each of Winslow’s wounds from the metal bars and spikes look realistic and deadly.
Plus, the blood stain on his head from Rick’s hand adds a nice touch to the set and a bit of a nod to the survivors of the series as well.

Greg Nicotero spoke with Yahoo about the creation of Winslow, and had amazing things to say about how the walker came to life:
"“I started looking back to the scarecrows in Planet of the Apes, which had these big, long… they were really unique. They were big Xs that have this really haunting look. I thought it’d be really cool if we were to somehow mimic that with weapons and rebar and sawblades and nails and knives coming out,” Nicotero said. “We went from there. We refined the design. The helmet is basically a gas tank from a motorcycle … it took us about a month to build him, only because it was something so special and so intricate … I love stuff like that. I love the fact that seven and half years in, we’re able to come up with stuff that still feels iconic and memorable.”"
More good news comes in the form of the packaging for the set, which will not feature Negan as on the standard edition, but will instead be switched out for Winslow on the cover of the 5-disc box set included with the statue.
