A week ago today we brought you
last-minute word the day before the release of Fox's
Family Guy - Volume 5 on DVD: the front cover art had changed from the picture shown at Fox's Press Site for months and months. Now they've done it again for
The Unit - Season 2.
That set will hit the stores tomorrow, but it's been three months since we
first brought you box art for what you'll supposedly see on the shelves. But overnight we got a message from reader Brandon Howarth, who spotted that the
pre-order listing at Amazon had different art than what we'd seen all along:
- Colonel Tom Ryan (Robert Patrick of The X-Files, Terminator 2: Judgement Day and The Bridge to Terabithia) is the only character on the cover to remain in uniform.
- All other characters shown are now in civilian clothes.
- Jonas "Snake Doctor" Blane (Dennis Haysbert of 24, Now and Again and the Major League films) is no longer on the right-side of the group, but is now one spot to the left of where he had been.
We wonder how much more "last minute fine-tuning" Fox is going to do with their cover art this Fall. Is this new art for-sure on the box? Yes! Just as with
Family Guy, our friends at stores were able to go to the stock they had received late last week, to hold until the street date tomorrow, and verify that the new artwork IS indeed what's on the box. Here it is:
