The sets will retail at $69.99 for the Blu-ray release, and $49.98 for the DVD. There is no UK release date yet, but we are attempting to confirm one from Fox and will update this post as soon as we know.
Dollhouse stars Eliza Dushku in the lead role of Echo, an ‘active’ who can be imprinted with any personality according to a mission at hand, whether it be combat, espionage, romance or anything else. When she is off-mission she exists in a childlike state devoid of personality, however, between her engagements she begins to reestablish a sense of her own identity.
The series recently finished airing its first season on Fox in the United States, however, dire audience figures have led many to assume that the show will not be returning for a sophomore outing in the autumn. The network will announce the fate of Dollhouse at its upfront presentation on 18 May 2009.
