Original packaging for the 25th Anniversary Edition
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The 25th Anniversary Edition is a DVD box set released by Shout! Factory. It was released on November 26, 2013.
This set features three episodes hosted by Joel and three hosted by Mike.
Initial copies of the 25th Anniversary Edition are packaged in a metal tin. Inside the tin is a carboard box/sleeve with four individual slim DVD cases, each with individual episode-specific artwork. Also in the package are four mini-posters that utilized the same artwork as the DVD cases. Subsequent re-releases eliminate the tin.
In addition to the four new-to-DVD episodes typical of these sets, the 25th Anniversary Edition contains two bonus, previously-released episodes that cover the transition from Joel to Mike. These appear on disc five and are housed in the same slimline case as disc four.
