Chucky has haunted screens and instilled the fear of dolls in the minds of many for decades. Thanks to the long-running film franchise and recent sequel series, the creepy doll has become one of the most recognizable horror characters of all time. Soon, fans of the amateur comedian and full-time murderous doll can add two collectible editions from the Chucky franchise to their display shelves. Chucky: The Complete Series Limited Edition Steelbook releases September 23 and is available to preorder now for $65. Two weeks later, on October 7, a new 4K edition of the original 1988 film launches exclusively on Amazon. You can preorder Child’s Play Limited Edition Steelbook for $45.
Amazon-exclusive collectible editions of popular movies are known to sell out, but we think it’s more likely that the TV series box set sells out first. The Limited Edition Steelbook is the first complete Blu-ray set for the show, and it doesn’t appear to be getting a standard edition–at least not yet. Steelbook Editions of TV series aren’t nearly as common. Earlier this year, Star Trek: The Lower Decks received the steelbook treatment and promptly sold out.

Chucky: The Complete Series includes all 24 episodes of Syfy’s awesome TV series across six Blu-ray discs. Syfy canceled the show last fall, a few months after airing the third season. If you’re a fan of the movies and haven’t watched the show, we’d highly recommend it. The series is a sequel to the 2017 film Cult of Chucky. And while it leans more into the comedy, Chucky still commits plenty of gruesome murders. Plus, the show retains Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky.
The artwork on the steelbook’s front cover looks cool, though it’s not a brand-new design. The image of Chucky sitting against a school locker was first used to promote Season 1, but with “Wanna Play” written in blood instead of “The Complete Series.” The back of the case features polaroid pictures with characters and references. When you open the steelbook, you’re peering inside Chucky’s locker. Along with more pictures, there’s a bloody knife, because the Biology and Literature textbooks wronged him, apparently.
Like many TV series with physical editions, Chucky has only ever been available on 1080p Blu-ray. The discs support Dolby Audio and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. The list of bonus features is a light, but you’ll still find deleted scenes on all six discs along with a featurette called The Legacy of Chucky. In total, the series runs close to 19 hours.
The box set is also releasing on DVD without a steelbook case for $45. It’s also worth noting that all three seasons are available on Blu-ray. You’d spend roughly $50 total if you purchased the series by season instead.

Relive the film that started it all with the Child’s Play Limited Edition Steelbook. It includes both 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray copies of the movie, with the 4K scan created from the original camera negative. Both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision are supported, as is DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1. You’ll get a chilling steelbook featuring a close-up shot of Chucky, while a third disc (standard Blu-ray) is loaded with bonus features. Here’s what’s included:
- 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

- Introducing Chucky: The Making of Child’s Play
- Vintage Child’s Play featurette
- Theatrical trailer
- TV spot
- Behind-the-scenes photo gallery
- Posters and lobby cards gallery
All of the on-disc content matches the original 4K Collector’s Edition that released in 2022. You can get that version, sans steelbook, for $29 (was $40).
This edition of Child’s Play continues a recent trend of classic horror films getting Amazon-exclusive steelbook editions. Limited Edition Steelbooks for Halloween and Halloween II are dropping on September 16 at Amazon, while The Dead Zone Limited Edition Steelbook arrived on June 10.
Child’s Play/Chucky Film Series on 4K Blu-ray
All seven films in the Child’s Play series as well as the 2019 reboot are available on 4K Blu-ray. The second and third films released in 2022 alongside the original, while the remaining four–all of which abandoned the Child’s Play moniker for Chucky–launched in 2023. If you want a complete “matching” set, the editions below come with cardboard sleeves and have the same style of cover art.
Chucky Movie Box Sets
The original film series is also available in box set format on Blu-ray and DVD for cheap. Chucky 7-Movie Collection on Blu-ray is only $30 (was $60) at Amazon. In 2023, Arrow Video released a 4K Blu-ray box set called The Chucky Ultimate 8-Movie Collection. It has the original seven movies and the 2019 reboot in 4K with support for Dolby Vision and HDR10. The box set wasn’t released in the US, but it’s region-free and available on Amazon from a third-party seller.
