Anchor Bay Entertainment sent out a press release announcing the DVD and Blu-Ray release of the 3rd season of AMC’s Zombie-hit ‘The Walking Dead’. In addition to just the Blu-Ray and DVD release, there’s a limited edition set that includes a “Zombie Head Tank” that’s designed by McFarlane Toys. I had a chance to see the “Tank” at a panel at Phoenix Comic-con and it looks incredible. These sets will be released August 27th. Check out the box art and the tank below and, after the jump, read the entire announcement.

Based on the hugely popular graphic novels by Robert Kirkman, THE WALKING DEAD: THE COMPLETE THIRD SEASON continues to draw in record audiences. Season 3 follows the weary group of survivors led by police officer Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), as they take refuge in a prison and attempt to set up a permanent camp. But while invading zombies are an ever-present danger, they must also battle the living, not only in the form of abandoned prisoners, but also the sadistic “Governor” (David Morrissey) and his followers. New characters introduced this season include Danai Gurira as “Michonne,” with her two “zombie pets” in tow, and Dallas Roberts (Shadow People) as the Governor’s lieutenant Milton, as well as the return of Merle Dixon (Michael Rooker).
