Above:
The
star
of Jhonen Vasquez's
uniquely tweaked Nicktoon makes an appearance at
this robot site on the
thin premise that Gir may be a robot, assembled as
he is by the Tallest
from parts on hand. Be that as it may, Palisades
Toys sneaked out this
great Zim house in 2005. We say sneaked, because did
you know it was
out? Probably not, because it was sneaked out
(there's that word again)
in three sections in the blister packs for three
Series Two figures:
Human Disguise Invader Zim, Doggie Disguise Gir, and
Gaz. Nothing but
tiny print in a small black circle on the packaging
suggests it's
there, but stuffed in behind the figures in these
three packages are
pieces which go together to build this towering, 15
inch masterpiece of
Irken engineering, complete with guard gnomes and "I
Love Earth"
banner. Each set retailed for around $15 in comics
shops, and lends
credence to our view that, in Zim's words, "The
invasion continues,
Earth Monkeys!"
