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!"
