none. Just a button and some paper. Lots of new stuff though. One of my favorite DVD sets.

actually every Mandarake store in Tokyo currently has a Wanted poster for BEM finger puppets with a reward like $2000!!!! if they made them they didn't make very many...

Bemu is so ridiculously awesome. They made vinyls of the Bemu, Bella and Bello back in the 90's, but the sculpts were not so hot (in my opinion) and they're pretty pricey now.

I believe Medicom just released the 3 BEMs in a Kubrick set.

Two sets of capsule figures were made a few years back, too (a regular and GID set). I've got those chilling in the closet, they're not bad for being tiny. There was also a set of trading figure dioramas that came out about 3 years back that was pretty cool, I've got a couple of those as well. The one where they are being "born" in the lab was definitely the coolest!
AH! I forgot one other one! They made Bemu juice a year or two back also! I never tried it, though

your welcome, i kind of discovered it by accident looking for something else. the nod to Ultra Q from the intro is very cool. was only vaguely aware of the series before & never saw anything aside from recent toys. theme song is really great wish I had a 45 of it. anyone know, is there an official DVD release of the original animated series in the states?
