Two series of Invader Zim figures have been produced, including Zim, GIR, Dib, Ms. Bitters, and Almighty Tallest Purple in the first series and Human Disguise Zim, Doggie Disguise GIR, Gaz, Almighty Tallest Red, and the Robo-Parents in the second. A third series was planned with Santa Zim, Elf GIR, Professor Membrane, Tak, and Nightmare Bitters, but the manufacturer, Palisades Toys, ceased operations in early 2006.[6] A multitude of other toys were produced such as the Voot Cruiser and a 12 inch "Mega GIR" with a removable dog disguise. Also, many non-licensed products exist such as iron on transfers, stickers, and keychains.
Invader Zim: Invader ZIM is an eccentric alien soldier from the planet Irk. After nearly destroying his home planet his superiors decide to get rid of him once and for all. They trick him into going on a "secret mission" to Earth, in hopes that he'll die along the way. But ZIM safely reaches Earth and begins his conquest of it.

A typical Invader Zim show will consist of two 15-minute episodes, interrupted here and there by advert-hackers breaking in to push their wares. Each will normally consist of the lead protagonist and antagonist (hard to tell which is which) trying to outsmart each other, although a good number of the shows go in a different direction entirely.

The music for Invader Zim was composed by Kevin Manthei and is in a digital techno style. The title music was composed by Mark Tortoroci, but Manthei arranged it. Manthei... did the music for the end credits and all the music for the actual episodes.
In September 2002, 7 months after the cancellation of the series, Anime Stuff-R, an internet radio website, broadcasted the Zim-phony, a 5 hour broadcast of all the music from the 26 episodes of Invader Zim composed by Kevin Manthei. This session, presented by DJ Richard Rae is the most popular that Anime Stuff-R has broadcast. Also included in this session was an interview with Kevin Manthei by Richard Rae in August 2002, where Kevin talked mostly about how the music of Invader Zim was composed and inserted in the show.
Nickelodeon is offering the first episode of season one of Invader Zim as a free download on the iTunes music store. The 24-minute minute episode, called “The Nightmare Begins��? can be downloaded here. But you better hurry! These free episodes usually only last a day or two before Apple reinstates their pay-for-play status.
