    Rhino Update: 10/29/1999

    Hi folks, we just heard that Rhino will be releasing another set of Krofft tapes in January 2000, including a second Bugaloos volume; and that all the new tapes will come with a special collectible beanie toy. :-)

    We're told that the Bugaloos tape will feature the following episodes: In addition, we have some artwork and beanie pics from the other Krofft tapes:
    • H.R. Pufnstuf -- Vol. 3   (Cover Art & Beanie Pic!)   
      • "You Can't Have Your Cake"

      • "Horse With The Golden Throat"
    • H.R. Pufnstuf -- Vol. 4   (Cover Art & Beanie Pic!)   
      • "Dinner For Two"

      • "Tooth For A Tooth"
    • Sigmund and the Sea Monsters -- Vol. 3   (Cover Art & Beanie Pic!)   
      • "The Curfew Shall Ring Tonight"

      • "Sweet Mama Redecorates"
    That's all I know for now ... however, if they keep this up, that means the next video should contain "Help Wanted - Firefly" (Ep #10), which has "Castles in the Air" on it. :-)

    Rhino Update: 03/26/2000

    Although no new Bugaloos tapes have been scheduled for release, other Krofft shows have made their way to new mediums. Sigmund & the Sea Monsters have been released on DVD, with their first volume containing four episodes:
      1. Happy Birthdaze
      2. The Nasty Nephew
      3. Monster Rock Festival
      4. Ghoul School Days
    In addition to the four episodes, the disc also includes "interviews", "rare photos" and a "slide show" (at least, according to the description given by Amazon.com.

    Next, we are told that H.R. Pufnstuf will be released on DVD in April as a boxed set containing All 17 Episodes!!

    That said, I was unable to locate any such information about this release on the Rhino website ... so maybe it really is just a rumor.
