Volume 1 packaging
The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Collection, Volume 1 is a DVD box set released by Rhino Entertainment. It is the first in a long-running series of box sets which have come to be the standard means of releasing new-to-home-video episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was released in November 2002.
The set includes four episodes (one with Joel, three with Mike) and (for the only time in the collections), the complete, un-riffed versions of the films.
The box features a spinning wheel with pictures of Joel, Tom Servo, Mike, Crow T. Robot, TV's Frank and Dr. Clayton Forrester. Each character is accompanied by a quote that can be displayed alongside the picture in the small display window.
Although all printed materials (the box, the insert, etc.) list the episodes as Bloodlust, Catalina Caper, The Creeping Terror and The Skydivers, the listing below reflects the actual disc numbering used in the set.
This set was re-released in 2015 by Shout! Factory as Mystery Science Theater 3000: Volume I without the unriffed movies, but with additional extras.
