Hello, Goodbye, The Gizmoplex

Here's what I wrote in early 2022: 

The Gizmoplex officially opens to the public in May, but as a backer I got an invitation a little earlier.

So, what is it? The Gizmoplex is not a traditional streaming service, like Netflix, it's more of a delivery system for new episodes and shorts, with additional goodies thrown in, special events, and the curated classic episodes. 

I compare it more to what the Mads are doing, where I spend around $147 a year for a livestream and a download each month hosted (usually) at Youtube. What's different with MST is that I'm getting a virtual theater dedicated to showing new episodes or shorts every two weeks, and a place to house and organize my purchases or freebies. 

The new content is what I'm most interested in, and I pledged $85 to get a year's worth of that, which is not too shabby. I own all the MST episodes on disc anyway, and I can stream many of them at a variety of places, from tubi to Shout to Youtube and more. So, I look at the 6 curated classics, grouped by theme each month, as a cute addition - it's not why I signed on, but it's a fun little side dish.

How's the virtual theater look? Here's the sneak peek mailed to backers in early March

And that's all I had back then - but now it's gone, the virtual theater went first, and as of Sept 2026, the last vestige of the Gizmoplex shuttered it doors as well. But I saved a few images while it was open, standees and whatnot. Ticket art, vault pick-Synthia Selects art, and other screenshots were posted on the individual pages, but here are a few other bits and pieces I collected and saved...

With my pledge I received the Deluxe & Shorts Collection with a selection of classics

Here are the standees for each new episode

Standees for the tributes - including a redone Manos that was more art than photo (seen up top)

No standees for the Santa trilogy of tributes, but I do have one with the mighty Turkules

While there was no standee for The Shape of Things to Come, there was this Mike Norton piece that showed how it might have looked.

More Gizmoplex Art

Let's see, what else do I have? Some Gizmoplex exteriors. I wish I'd saved them all.

Flatmations for the Rifftrax event

Art for Synthia Selects can be found Here - but for an image of them in the Fridge?

I regret not saving more images, but here's what was had at MST3k.com

The smaller theater, from MST3K.com

A screenshot I took while enjoying the She Creature. I loved watching episodes there, it was a mood, the Shining carpet, the seats and curtains. Just loved settling in for an episode there.

Joel also gave us a tour during the Santo Live stream. Here's a few screen shots of that.

Which led you to the storage unit

and it all began here...
