It is also interesting to find that a section of the Kafir community of Kamdesh still claim the same Greek origin as did the Nysaeans; still chant hymns to the god who sprang from Gir Nysa (the mountain of Nysa); whilst they maintain that they originally migrated from the Swat country to their present habitat in the lower Bashgol.

The quest for an interactive GIR robot didn't die when Nickelodeon's animated series Invader Zim was cancelled in 2002.

The Emmy winning series survives as a cult hit on DVD, sparking continued interest in its characters and a market for the likenesses of Zim, GIR, and Dib on everything from action figures to pajamas.

Chronicling the exploits of Zim, an alien visitor bent on destroying earth, his frenetic and hilarious robot GIR, and Dib, his archenemy, Invader Zim took a dark and witty look at modern life.

GIR, as much of a hindrance to Zim as an asset, has a pivotal role in many of the episodes.

Although the prospect of a functioning, interactive GIR robot has some support from dedicated fans, interest in products based on Invader Zim remains static.

One enterprising site, Project GIR was in the developmental stages of a functioning GIR robot at one time, but there seems to be little recent activity.

The cartoon stills and full sized mock-ups of a GIR head are worth a quick visit though.

For a GIR fix, you can try some games in which he's featured, like the two Nicktoons titles, Attack of the Toybots and Gobs of Doom.
