OH. MY. GOD.
Honestly, I did not expect more Sandy Frank titles. I’m really excited about Time of the Apes.
And I’ve always wanted to see The Violent Years.
Mighty Jack is a bizarre fever dream that I cannot remember mere seconds after watching it. So…endless rewatching?

Pretty impressive..2 more Sandy Frank titles,too! Violent Years is another one of my favorites.Glad they got Brute Man.All they need is to get the remaining 3 titles from Season 7 and that will out of the way..Wish they would get some Season 4 titles,but that could be for the next set..Thanks Shout!!

That sounds like a great collection of titles. Sandy Frank must no longer feel he has been treated like a mud butler.

I fully expect Fugitive Alien 1 & 2 to be on the next set or *in the not too distant future* hee hee
Getting the last of Season 7 , while nothing is impossible, will be tough since
#703 Disney owns the Deathstalker III movie ( at least the last time I checked, but Shout is releasing a couple Deathstalker movies so you never know)
#704 MGM owns the Incredible Melting Man – and is an MOD title
#705 Escape from the Bronx could happen
Sadly not every episode will make it to DVD but I think a majority from each season is a given..
With Shout anything is possible..well not with the AIP titles or the Season 8 Universals…at least at this point

Finally the titles. Very excited about all except Mighty Jack. It was just too badly edited a movie for me to follow. But any MST3K on DVD is a DVD to own. Figurine eh? Cambot perhaps?

This is so exciting! great choices through and through. at least, they seem to be, I haven’t actually seen them.
Where did the information come from?

Wow. Never thought we’d see Time of the Apes or Mighty Jack on retail DVDs either. Good news.

Interesting, did they get more third person license holders again? Whenever they decide to do the next limited edition set, I think Cambot would be next and I think the Sci-Fi era version would be the best choice if there is a vote on it.

Woohoo! Some great movies to watch. Though am I ready to watch Time of the Apes or Mighty Jack? I don’t know. My Japanese/MST3K experience is limited to Neptune Men, Prince of Space, *mumbles* vs. *mumbles*. Can’t wait for my Gamera set!
Oh, and thank you Shout Factory, thank you! I believe in MiSTing, I do!

NO WAY!!!!! TIME OF THE APES AND MIGHTY JACK???? THAT’S EXCELLENT! :D Did a North American company buy the American rights from Tsuburaya Productions, or did they license them directly from them or what? Personally “Mighty Jack” is not one of my fave Sandy Frank episodes, but it’s got some good riffs here and there and it’s excellent to see more Sandy Frank films come on the set. Also glad to see Violent Years come; I’ve been waiting for that one for awhile. I also figured Brute Man would come soon too.

Time of the Apes? Okay, who called it? Somebody called it, I’m certain of it.
But more Season 3 on DVD! Excellente!

Holy @#$%!!! (I know it gets said everytime but…) This is now my favorite boxsets!!! Time of the Apes is one of my absolute favorite episodes EVER!!! The Violent Years is one of my absolute favorite episodes EVER!!! Brute Man is a great episode and Mighty Jack–MORE @#$%ing SANDY FRANK! Woohoo!!! This has been a great year (probably the best year) for MST3k box sets–because there have been some great strides made in acquiring the rights of episodes we never though would see the light of day! Well done, Shout! Now… here’s to hoping these episodes are not in horrible shape like Lost Continent and Beast of Yucca Flats. *fingers crossed*

Actually, it’s the rare Magic Voice figurine. They never turn up in second-hand stores, so get yours fast.

Two more Season Three episodes from Japan plus an Ed Wood scripted movie and Rondo Hatton. Sounds like a winner to me.

SOOOOOOO stoked about “Time of the Apes”!!! Been wanting that title for AGES! Not familiar with Mighty Jack but from reading about it, I’m hoping it’s as good as Prince of Space. Brute Man is a bit hit N miss for me but the Violent Years is a welcomed addition as well.
Anyone else stoked about the other two rereleases announced? Red Zone Cuba was my first MST I ever purchased on VHS….it holds a very special place in my heart :-D

Joyous day! I’m glad to have all of them, especially the latter two. The Brute Man has that great host segment with Paul Chaplin as Pearl’s date, the oil guy named Sandy.

Time Of The Apes? Unlike little Johnny, I DO care! Can’t wait to get a nice commercial DVD of that one. And Mighty Jack too, slow the plot down, matey. Can the must-have Fugitive Alien be next?

@8 Personally, I wonder if a certain incident last year involving Mr. Frank is the reason why we’re finally getting these episodes.
Still, it’s great to see more Sandy Frank goodness. Now if they can finish the “Sandy Frank” collection and release Fugitive Alien (He tried to kill me with a forklift, ole!).

I’d like to be the Chicken of Tomorrow, but how can I be more the Man of Today?

IIRC Sandy Frank no longer owns the rights to the films he distributed that were shown on MST3K, so Shout! has been negotiating with the Japanese studios that own the films, not Frank. He doesn’t get a say in these releases at all.

Well, I have to be honest, I expect to give this one a pass. But that has a lot to do with the fact that I have every ep I care about, anyway. And the titles I’d like to see on an official set are mostly locked up by rights issues.

WOW!!!!!!!!!! I can’t believe it!!!!! Time of Apes #306. Even Mighty Jack #314, just as equal as a surprise! FREAKIN SWEET DUDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great set! I like the other two titles as well ( because I don’t have them on DVD ). It’s good to have two eps of Mike and Joel. I now have hope for Fugitive Alien ( I + II ) being released. Great job Shout!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!

Can’t wait for this set. My copy of time of the apes is Xth generation copy with color wash out issues. I can only hope they re-edit the green screen with a original master copy vs a print copy which probably what was given to sandy frank [who not even on the list of greatest Franks]. Anything touched by Ed Wood is gold! The brute man and mighty jack don’t get much tv time, in fact I think I have only seen the brute man once or twice. It’s going to be nice to reintroduce myself to those two titles.
BEST RIFF – COLONEL SANDERS???

Trumpy Dumpy #29 – Either Pod People or Cave Dwellers was the first MST3K VHS I owned, but Red Zone Cuba was the first DVD. In fact, it was the second DVD I EVER owned. The complete Monty Python’s Flying Circus was the first. I didn’t even own a DVD player yet, but I knew I wanted it. (Talk about a killer app).

#38–I’m not sure Roger Corman owns the rights to his early works. Some were done for Allied Artists and the other early stuff was sold to AIP. He had an arrangement with AIP until they tampered with “The Trip” in 1967. That pissed him off.
