Shout sure is intent on pushing season ten…
Alright! I’m glad to see Shout Factory has the wheels in motion on another release. Can’t wait!
Cool!
I would like some interviews of the off camera crew, for bonus material.
Two of my all time favorites + two I’ve only seen once, maybe. That’s the perfect blend!
Nice, they’re picking up the number sequence where Rhino left off! I also appreciate the fast followup to the 20th Anniversary Edition. Hope they can keep up that pace!
It better come with a mini-Servo to go with the Mini-Crow on my dashboard.
I too demand mini-Servo.
I wonder how extensive Shout’s rights go for past Rhino releases. I’d love to see a “Vol 9.2” for those of us who missed out on the original release :cry: .
Good to see Shout is continuing Rhino’s method of pairing classic episodes with absolute f-ing clunkers
Yes, because it makes perfect business sense to pack a box set with four “clunkers,” right? :roll:
Of course, I’m sure we’re in complete agreement about which are the “classics” and which are the “clunkers.” (I love “Manhunt In Space,” and, though I haven’t seen it in years, I always found “Soultaker” a weak entry, Joel’s cameo aside.)
I think it’s a great set – then again, I buy them all, regardless. This set gives me hope that we’ll see “Crash of Moons” yet.
Well since I’ve only seen Final Justice among the set, I’m happy for whatever I can get my hands on.
I can not believe people would complain about this! Any MST3K release is a good thing! And Soultaker!! I was one of the unlucky few who missed out on the Sci-fi years becasue we did not have the channel. So 1001 will be a treat.
I am so FREAKING excited!
I, for one, enjoyed 103. I really didn’t think it’s as bad as most people make it out as…
Anyways, nice to see how speedy that was for them to get up!

On the subject of DVDs, when is the DVD List page gonna get updated? It makes no mention of The Movie or the Shout release DVDs.
Whoah, wait a minute…
Does everybody realize this means Commando Cody and General Hospital BOTH make their debuts on DVD?
That’s pretty gangster if you ask me!
Awesome… can’t wait to get my hands on this. Hopefully I’ll be reviewing it for the website just as I am Vol. 13 right now. :)
Excellent. I haven’t seen Mad Monster, but I really like the other three in this set.
Kinda cool, not as awesome as I was hoping the next set would be.
Anyone who complains about any episode of Mst3k being released on dvd is an idiot. Even 4 of my least favorite episodes would still be worth buying imo.
What a COOL set
My opinion be it worthless but still
103- Mad Monster – this is a great treat for those clamoring for Season 1 shows, it isnt 101 the Crawling Eye, but its an early CC show and this isnt bad at all and its a chance again to see Josh as Tom Servo
413- Manhunt in Space – glad to see Rocky Jones and a General Hospital. This was an ok show, followed by Tormented and the big one Fire Maidens – the Timmy Episode
So far im happy – 2 Joel Episodes
1001 – a favorite Season 10 episode because Joel is in it, the movie is kind of hard to sit through, but the segments are awesome. I prefer the black and white movies, but of all the color movies, this is in my top 10 of hard to sit through
1008 – to be honest i am indifferent on this one, ive never been a sci fi nut, but this is a Joe Don Baker movie so , well , um you know :)
Overall I like this set 2 Joels – one from Season 1 with Josh and 2 Mike’s from the Scifi channel. Im very pleased..
Hopefully we can get some more season 3 in there in volume XV.
Two real episodes and two Sci-Fi Channel episodes.
i consider 1 great episode (413), 2 good episodes (1001, and 1008) and 1 close-to-unwatchable one (103) to be a very acceptable assortment. i’d like to see more from the best years of the show (seasons 3-7)… but i’ll take what i can get!
I have to agree with the people who think ANY MST episode is a good thing. Let’s take what we can get.
Just think, with all the “rights” issues these old movies have…we have to take what we can get, when we can get it.
How did my original comment wind up moving ahead of the comments responding to it?
Anyways, some responses (“No negativity! Not allowed!”)
Yes, because it makes perfect business sense to pack a box set with four “clunkers,” right? (gratuitous rolleyes)
Well, that would make things a lot easier actually. Four clunkers = no buy. Pretty easy decision there. Two great eps plus two bad ones (in this case, the two Joel eps) means I have to decide whether I want to pay $50 for two episodes.
Every episode is important and worthy of being released.
Wrong. I love this show and all, but I’d say out of two hundred episodes, only about 40-50 of those are really worthy of archiving in this manner.
I understand that the whole movie rights clusterfudge makes this whole process difficult, and yes I should take cue from the theme song and really just relax, but that is how I feel
Yes and it’s well to remember that any episode released will have value to many.
Manhunt is a must release for me as it’s one of the only ones in my collection that has a problem (there’s only one other that isn’t pristine). So, Hell yes, that’s REALLY exciting to me (while the other three aren’t).
But I do want a mini-Servo: kind of really need it, don’t we folks?
And such good news on the heels of “Future War” with our friend Robert Z’Dar. With “Soultaker” comes z’more Z’Dar. Z’Sign z’me z’up!
I’m very happy with the latest set. I won’t quite demand a mini-Servo with this set…if only because I’d settle for a mini-Gypsy or mini-Cambot!
Come on people! Stop bitching about what episodes get selected. You have to treat the series as a whole. Every episode is important and worthy of being released. There is also a question of obtaining rights to the featured films. You may not like the episodes selected but others do. The fact is they represent the best version picture/sound wise available and therefore a MUST HAVE for any serious MST3K fan.
Don’t be a downer man. You get see 4 more shows in pristine quality. That can never be bad!
“if only because I’d settle for a mini-Gypsy or mini-Cambot!”
I don’t think a cambot would be likely, since it changed so many time.
With this selection I wonder just how hard it is to get the Lippert movies, and if they even tried to get something from Season 3, Crawling Eye or Puma Man.. i think some of forth coming
I wouldn’t necessarily call any of ’em “clunkers,” but the season 1 episodes just don’t do it for me; the riffing is just too sparse.
I’m a MSTie who will take anything! I love both Soultaker and Final Justice and I’m excited to see some Comedy Central eps that I didn’t catch during their original airing.
And I’m rooting for a mini-Servo. Do you think they’d do a mini-Joel? Or a mini-Mike? I’ll take mini-Forester or mini-TV’s Frank too. Pearl, Bobo, Brain Guy etc. Mini-Pitch! Or mini-Torgo. Mini-SOL. The possibilities are endless!
One note: Mad monster has a Commando Cody episode, and Manhunt in Space has a General Hospital episode. I’ll let people fill in the blanks as far as future release impact…
Ooof! Manhunt in Space is a painful one.
Mad Monster isn’t bad. And I’ve been dying to see Soultaker again.
Don’t recall being thrilled with Final Justice…ugh that “Goosio” bit is terrible.
Still, I shall own this set. :grin:
This set’s worth it alone for Soultaker.
“Good luck having the baby, honey.. I’ve got tickets to the game.”
“He looks like a catcher’s mitt with eyes!”
“Man, that guy’s face is small.”
Mad Monster is one of those 1940 low budget monster movies with Glenn Strange as a goofy monster..
Manhunt is low budget scifi with Richard Crane as Rocky Jones..used to be Saturday morning kiddee fodder..
Even these movies were any good, they wouldnt be on MST3K would they ? All they did were clunkers and schlock, some good and bad. I really do like this set coming up
Still no Sampo, eh? Bummer.
This is an awesome list of shows. A season one show and Rocky Jones too! And the later episodes are good ones as well.
“But, I’m not in, Rocky.” Woo-hoo, I can’t wait to buy this set!
the cover art is pretty bad. all of Rhino’s sets beat the first two by Shout – not a good sign. if you’re happy getting any MST for 50 bucks a pop then i guess there are no problems. if you’re still holding out hopes that some classic unreleased season 3,4,5,6,7 episodes are coming then i think it’s time to get realistic. if that was possible or within Shout’s budgetary constraints it probably would have happened at least a little in these first 2 collections.
I consider “Soultaker” and “Final Justice” to both be bona fide classics, and I haven’t seen the other two so I’d say this set’s a win-win (for me anyway).
I can’t believe they’ve released 8 season 10 episodes. Somebody’s got a real jones for it.
Shucks. I’ll have to give it a miss. Never seen Mad Monster and Manhunt in Space (though I’m queuing MIS up on YouTube right now). Soultaker has it’s moments. I hate Final Justice. Just seems like four episodes I can live without.
With a Season One episode, one of the Rocky Jones episodes, and two great Season Ten choices, it sounds like an excellent DVD release!
I’m very curious to see if the bonus features here measure up to the ones in the 20th Anniversary Edition set.
It’s not a release announcement without the obligatory pissing and moaning from the usual suspects.
*applauds*
Well done, you came through for us one more time!
-cs™
I WILL HAVE IT. Four (count’em) four EXCELLENT episodes!
@Iced Chicken #11 – The two season 10 episodes are excellent: 1001 is the 10th anniversary show and so has some nice cameos, and 1008 has Joe Don Baker: ’nuff said.
Rather than the other suggestions, I’d prefer a bust of Htom Serveaux (or perhaps a Delta Maiden [that’d be quite a bust :roll: ]– but I suppose that should wait until they can release QDK )
They’ve got to keep up the mini busts, though. My wife set our Crow on the speaker in front of the TV, and it makes a perfect silhouette!
More Josh!
“THANK YOU!”
Now they need Moon Beast, Final Sacrifice and Devilfish! 3 more awesome episodes to put there!
Very excited here. Definitely a strong second set. Mad Monster is a great episode and the CC short is probably the best of the Codys they did. Manhunt in Space, also great. The Rocky Jones episodes hold a special place in my heart and the GH short is the most bearable of the three. Soultaker is in my top ten Scifi era shows. Granted Joel and Frank play a big part in that but good movie too. Final Justice definitely is a great choice if for no other reason than it completes my MST3K Joe Don Baker collection.
Great job, Shout Factory guys. Keep it up.
One I really want to see again-but is probably highly unlikely it will ever come out is Dr. Z. That one was so funny!
I also would like to see Delta Knights again.
I do like Final Justice though. Its alot better then Mitchel. (The episode that is)
Season 1 is my least favorite season though. I’ve never been able to sit through any of them.
Sweet God, YES!!
Two of my favorite episodes (Soultaker and Final Justice) are coming out. This set will be mine. Now I can get of my lower-quality-VHS-mastered DVDs of them.
