Movie Reviews of Invader ZIM - House Box Plus Extras Disc
Movie Review: Slightly misleading / what you see is what you get
Summary: 5 Stars
What you see is what you get. Oddly enough, I do not mean this necessarily in a bad way. The box opens from the top and from the front. Opening from the front, you'll find the extras disc inside. On this disc you'll find different material not available in volumes 1 through 3 of this cartoon series. (Interview with Kevin Manthei - Invader Zim sound design - Audio from unfinished episodes - Invader Zim sample soundtrack) This box is definitely for completionists, it does not necessarily add or subtract from the series. Now, opening from the top of the box, I'd imagine you'd find the "Gir figurine" that comes with this set. However, and this is a huge HOWEVER, this set no longer includes said figurine. I just received this box today, along with volumes 1 through 3 of the Invader Zim series. (sold seperately of course) I was set to return this box due to some damage to the rear side of it and the missing Gir figurine. After more closely inspecting the packaging, after already contacting Amazon, I found there is a sticker on the cellophane that was once wrapped around the box. You'll find three stickers... one stating what is found on the extras disc, another stating it was "created by Jhonen Vasquez," and lastly, another stating "Gir toy no longer available." So, as I am a completionist, you'll understand my level of surprise. And just to clear up an earlier post by other people, there is ONLY room enough inside this box for volumes 1 through 3 and the extras disc. There is the space in the top of the box, but, it is hardly big enough to constitute a CD, only a toy. Just keep in mind that if you're excited about the figurine, don't be. Other than these minor details, I do highly recommend the series to anyone, especially those already familiar. It's something quite different to own it and watch them all again and again.
Just as a final thought to anyone who might already own volumes 1 through 3 and are curious if the entire box set will fit inside this "house box," they will, but only a certain way. The box set is three DVDs inside a cardboard box... you must first remove them from this box in order to place them inside the house box. Not too important, but, I hope to shed light on all aspects with this moch-review. The details of this product just need to be updated, and this was the easiest place to do so.
