the hercules set
Edwin B. Miller #45 – Yes! Big bugs! Awesome idea! Perhaps a nice extra could be a large rubber spider or grasshopper, just like Mike attacked the postcards with in “Beginning o/t End”!
Finnias Jones #47 – Hahahahaha!!
I was also thinking of an “Oscar Winner” set with “Revenge of the Creature”, “Angels Revenge” and “Outlaw”, but now that Roger Corman is an Oscar winner, the possibilities are endless!
Kudos to the big bugs japanese heroes and destroyer of worlds sets. I still think the russo finish set would sell big.
A box set to honor a producer and director whose true genius shows in his tour-de-force portrayals of vivid and passionate characters. In honor of truly the greatest actor of our times, we present, the Tony Cardoza Collection!
0209 – Sidehackers
0609 – The Skydivers
0619 – Red Zone Cuba
0621 – The Beast of Yucca Flats
The “Get Your Friends Into MST3K” set:
Space Mutiny
Final Sacrifice
Laserblast
Time Chasers
Iggy Pop’s Brother Steve Pop (#7) says:
(Whoops, MPSh posted his while I was still writing mine.)
Hey, no sweat; great minds think alike, right?
100% agree with the tv movie set:
Master Ninja I
Master Ninja II
San Francisco International
Riding With Death
The Horrible British Movies Set
Devil Doll
Gorgo
The Projected Man
The Deadly Bees
Bad 70’s horror movies:
Blood Waters of Doctor Z
Track of the Moonbeast
It Lives by Night
Squirm.
Bad 80’s movies:
Being from Another Planet
Devil Fish
City Limits
Puma Man
Fetid Fantasy:
Quest of the Delta Knights
Outlaw
Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell
Hercules and the Captive Women
I gotta say, #23 has had the best idea so far (apart of course from the Russo-Finnish set we all want). A boxed set I’d like to see would be…
“The Horrors of Party Beach”
“Attack of the the Eye Creatures”
“The Crawling Eye”
and “It Conquered the World” (which we’ll never get for Susan Hart must have everything for herself…) -I call it “The Googlie Eyes Collection.
I like Moxie’s idea, too.
even more pure fantasy…combine box sets with either rifftrax or ct where applicable.
so round out the Ed Wood collection of:
Sinister Urge
Violent Years
Bride of the Monster
with rifftrax rendition of Plan 9 :D
My Dream Sets –
Set 1 –
Robot Holocaust
Time of the Apes
The Final Sacrifice
The Horror of Party Beach
Set 2 –
Master Ninja 1
Master Ninja 2
Robot Monster
Samson vs. The Vampire Women
Set 3 –
Track of the Moon Beast
Squirm
The Screaming Skull
Escape 2000
Set 4 –
Devil Fish
Quest of the Delta Knights
Teenage Crime Wave
Bride of the Monster
The MST3K Idol set, featuring episodes with musical host segments!
I like #48’s idea, with the destruction of worlds and whatnot.
You know what I mean.
Another vote for GAMERA!
The unreleased Hercules movies would be great, too.
Southern Culture on the Skids set
Giant Leaches
Squirm
Boggy Creek
Swamp Diamonds
Make it stop (movies that never really went anywhere)
Manos
Castle of Fu Manchu
Robot Monster
Invasion USA
#48 beat me to it. I second the Mike Nelson: Destroyer of Worlds set.
How about a set to complete season 7:
Escape 2000
Deathstalker and the Warriors from Hell
The Incredible Melting Man
The Brute Man
#48 and #68 I’ll third the Mike Nelson Destroyer of Worlds set. Motion passed. Meeting adjourned. :mrgreen:
Coming in late to this party but really enjoyed virtually all of the posted suggested sets. This will sound pretty lame compared to most of the preceding;
MARTIAL ARTS SET
Godzilla vs Megulon (Jet Jaguar has Kung Fu grip!)
Master Ninja I
Master Ninja II
Future War
Includes free bottle of Hi-Karate.
In closing, I wonder what would happen if Max Keller ran into Runaway? My guess would be that they would try to talk to each other, not understand a word either was saying and get into a marial arts fight where Runaway would eventually kick the crap out of Max and then get beat up by an elderly Master Ninja who then dies of an heart attack.
I think Shout! Factory should work on getting the “Difficult to acquire” episodes out of the way. The ones that will have expensive rights issues or will need some warming over with the creators/rights holders to get out.
Namely, the Sandy Frank episodes, Gamera, Godzilla, The Amazing Colossal Man/War of the Colossal Beast, etc.
I don’t see how the Gamera movies would be difficult to get. Shout! has released Gamera Supermonster! as part of their Elvira Movie Macabre collection, so it’s entirely possible for them to get these movies.
The Godzilla ones probably not so much, but maybe we need to show Toho Inc some lovin’, who wants to help me with what I will call “The Great Plan For Much Godzilla Enjoyment”?
It’s three fold:
1.) Come up with a really nifty Haiku and translate into Japanese
2.) Buy some really nice flowers.
3.) Send it to Toho Inc.
The Torgo set :
424:Manos: Hands of Fate (with special extra, the documentry: Hotel Torgo (2004) )
523: Village of the giants
614: San Francisco International
620: Danger! Death Ray
624: Samson vs. the Vampire Woman
It could come packaged in what appears to a large knee and come with a small figure of Torgo or a varient package with a figure of Torgo the White.
Parts is Parts:
Parts: The Clonus Horror
The Brain that wouldn’t Die
The Atomic Brain
The Unearthly
My suggestion would be the if you have already bought the movies without MST3k, then you should be able to by the MSTied version. This includes:
Track if the Moon Beast (I have four copies)
Beast of Yucca Flats
The Amazing Transparent Man
Squirm (I don’t have this, but have seen it at COSTCO)
Bride of the Monster
The Crawling Eye
Earth vs. the Spider
War of the Colossal Beast
The She Creature
The Magic Sword
Project Moonbase
Robot Monster
The Slime People
The Violent Years
The Screaming Skull
The Indestructible Man
The Mole People
If we have already given some love to the rights holders of these movies, they should return the favor.
My inner masochist would like to recommend:
JOHN AGARATHON! Starring the smug science of John Agar!
The Mole People
Revenge of the Creature
Women of the Prehistoric Planet
I think that’s it. But really, three Agar films are probably enough.
Universal set:
Revenge of the Creature
The Leech Woman
The Mole People
The Deadly Mantis
Gamera movies- 5 disc set including the KTMA versions
Sandy Frank set:
Fugitive Alien
Fugitve Alien II
Time of the Apes
Mighty Jack (including KTMA versions)
Wild card set:
Final Sacrifice
Final Justice
Jungle Goddess
The Beatniks
I’m dropping out of the race and putting my weight between Finnias Jones’ reworking (#23) of my original idea (#20). Not only does it work with the 4-piece set restriction, and bring in some better episodes that I’d missed, it enforces the gender segregation so clearly desired by those behind most of those movies…

how about a Bert I Gorden pain parade?
The Amazing Colossal Man
Unfortunately, Rhino had this (I have my VHS copy yet) but had to pull it. Don’t know if it would be possible to get rights again.
Personally, I’d like a dual Kaiju set.. with the all the Gamera and the two Godzilla movies (can’t do a count in my head on Gamera)
J/P=?
yeah I know, but they had it for like a month, it’s very hard to find.
fine make it King Dinosaur instead.
just to fix the box set, the new Bert I. Gorden Pain Parade.2
better?
War of the Colossal Beast
King Dinosaur
The Magic Sword
Earth vs. the Spider
“Glen was 50 feet tall”
Being from another Planet
Stranded In Space
High School Big Shot
Blood Waters of Dr. Z
Hey – who doesn’t love leftovers after Thanksgiving and Christmas? How ’bout the rest of the Herculeseses along with the other Rocky Jones and “Invasion of the Neptune Men?”
A Lippert Set all the way
Rocketship XM
Jungle Goddess
Lost Continent
King Dinosaur
Radar Secret Service
Last of the Wild Horses
If its only a 4 DVD get rid of the bottom 2..
A Lippert set with all 4 Lippert movies from Season 2 would be my fondest MST3K related wish come true, next to them making new episodes of the show.
Other wish-list sets:
– An all Gamera set
– Fugitive Alien I & II in a set with Time Of The Apes and Mighty Jack
– All 4 Russo Finnish films would be a great set
– A sword-and-sandal/sword and sorcery set with Hercules And The Captive Women, Hercules (original with Steve Reeves), Colossus and the Headhunters, Outlaw
Anything that gets Village of the Giants on DVD.
I’d be more than glad to have Rhino email me for information regarding my webpage or in some way help contribute information. (after all, it was MST3K that made me continue to find out more about this strange film I saw in my pre-teen years, un-riffed).
Couple are on DVD already but how about rounding up all of the “astronaut returns to Earth as an unholy abomination” films (what’s funny is that MST barely touched the tip of the iceberg of this unlikely, but plentiful, genre – First Man into Space, Astronaut’s Wife, Creeping Unknown (aka Quatermass Experiment), Dark Universe)
The Crawling Hand
Monster A Go-Go
Night of the Blood Beast
Incredible Melting Man
Klisch’s personal favs boxed set.
Pop People
Santa Clause Conquers the Martians
Teenagers from Outer Space
Time Chasers
And at the other end of the spectrum, just so I wouldn’t have to buy an entire set because it contains 1 or 2 good espisodes, I’ll put my 4 worst shows together.
The Lost Continent
Monster A-Go-Go
Hamlet
The Starfighters
Klisch’s personal favs boxed set.
Pod People
Santa Clause Conquers the Martians
Teenagers from Outer Space
Time Chasers
And at the other end of the spectrum, just so I wouldn’t have to buy an entire set because it contains 1 or 2 good espisodes, I’ll put my 4 worst shows together.

Hamlet
The Starfighters
Gamera is really neat, he is filled with turtle meat, we believe in Gamera box sets!
Everybody Loves Monsters!
Bride of the Monster
Robot Monster
Monster A-Go-Go
The Giant Gila Monster
How about a “Twin Peeks” box set:
“Girl in the Gold Boots”
“Girls Town”
“Village of the Giants”
“The Atomic Brain”
id like a Tor Johnson set or a one man TOR DE FORCE…ha!
Beginnings and Endings set:
First Joel Episode

The Creeping Terror
The Beast of Yucca Flats
The Blood Waters of Dr. Z
Shout…if you like women.
The Leech Woman
Women of the Prehistoric Planet
Viking Women Vs the Sea Serpent
Samson Vs the Vampire Women
Giant Monster Set
Godzilla vs. Megalon
Godzilla vs. The Sea Ceature
The Amazing Colossal Man
War of the Colossal Beast
Great thread, lots of entertaining sets. Since there are ‘Hot Girls’ & ‘Twin Peaks’ sets, I thought that since there have been no suggested sets aimed at our female audience, I would submit one for them;
The Amazing Colossal Man-Big guy in diapers
The Amazing Transparent Man-Aren’t they all transparent?
The Brute Man-Tall & dark anyway.
The Incredible Melting Man-His heart will melt for you.
The Projected Man-He’s either projecting or blocking!
I’d buy any set with Pumaman and San Francisco International. Pumaman because it’s one of the best and SFI because I went to school with the director’s (John Moxey) son and talked with him many times. I choked when I was watching the SFI episode and the director’s name appeared. I called his son and told him it was on. He said, “I know. Cool, huh?” Uuuummmm…not really… :grin:
