In 2004 a DVD was released by Benfer , though the specific date is not known. It was released under the title Knox's Klay Archive. It was available from April 2004 to July 17, 2004. Very few people know about this DVD, since so few copies were made. It featured all the claymations he had made up to Knox's Klay World 6/6, along with some live action shorts he had made. Plans for a Knox's Klay Archive Volume 2 to be released Summer 2004 were posted by Benfer, but due to the low sales of Volume 1, it was cancelled. The price of the DVD is unknown.
Another DVD Benfer released was released in July 18, 2004 and was called Knox in a Box and had some of his most successful internet shorts, including the very first episodes of Klay World Series. In fall 2004, Benfer released plans for a special edition of Knox In A Box, though ultimately it was never released. It is unknown which DVD was released first, though Knox In A Box is a lot more popular. The DVD cost $9.
The third DVD related to the series was Klay World: Off the Table, which was released in 2005. The DVD sold very well and made Benfer over $80,000. The DVD was re-released with a different cover in 2007 and was available on Amazon.com . The Re-release featured a sequel to the Klay World Series DVD documentary, Outside The Knox 2.

Trivia
- Klay world was originally just one-off claymations made by Robert Benfer that were posted on Newgrounds.com , but after gaining popularity, he decided to make a series about his claymations.
- After making season 1, Benfer decided to incorperate the series into a movie, and the result was Klay World: Off The Table, which was released 2005, a year after creating the official series and posting the first episode of The Klay World Series, "RUBBER DUCKY OF DEATH".
- The final episode of the series, "All Gone", was released by Benfer on September 2, 2013, 10 years after posting his first claymation, "Yellow Seed".
- The third season of the Klay World Series features more of a linear storyline,most episodes being continuations of the ones before, such as the burglar and police officer from "Bank Robbery" appearing in "Green and Red", and the giant klayman from "Giant Klayman" appearing in "Pancake Mines 2".
- The episode "Poison Juice" was originally meant to be a live action video made by Benfer to celebrate 100,000 subscribers to his youtube channel, but his friends Jason Steele and Chris Alex refused to be in the video, so it was incorperated into a episode of Klay World.
- "Frickle D Frack" was the first claymation made by Robert Benfer although it was never posted on Newgrounds.com
- The episode "Sneaky Sneaky" was not included on the Klay World Series Volume 1 because the only version of the episode available to Robert was the 2006 flash version. It was included on the Klay World Series Volume 2 Limited Edition.
- 37 episodes were created after the Klay World Series' inception, but only 23 are considered part of the official season 1 of the show. The rest are considered part of the original series, as they did not meet Robert's expectations.
- Similarly, "The Rodent" and "The Rodent 2" were also produced during Season 1, but these episodes fall into a grey area, as they are not considered part of the original series due to being posted is 2006 but are also not considered part of season 1 due to being part of the Off The Table storyline. Both parts were deleted from Newgrounds.com and "The Rodent Part I" was re-uploaded as the season 2 premiere. "Part II" was never re-uploaded.
- The Off The Table storyline begins with Klay World:Off The Table, continues with "The Rodent" and "The Rodent Part II" and ends with "All Gone".
- Similarly, "The Rodent" and "The Rodent 2" were also produced during Season 1, but these episodes fall into a grey area, as they are not considered part of the original series due to being posted is 2006 but are also not considered part of season 1 due to being part of the Off The Table storyline. Both parts were deleted from Newgrounds.com and "The Rodent Part I" was re-uploaded as the season 2 premiere. "Part II" was never re-uploaded.
- Many claymations made by Robert early on are not considered part of the Original Series or the Klay World series.
- All the episodes from the original series is included on the Klay World Series Volume 1 and 2 DVDs, although, Robert has stated some unseen episodes will be on the Klay World Series Volume 3 DVD
- An exclusive Klay World episode is included on the Klay World Series Volume 2 dvd.
- "Sleep Walker" was the last episode posted by Benfer on Newgrounds.com
- On February 22, Benfer started taking pre orders on the Klay World: The Complete Series box set, a 4 disk set that includes everything of Klay World that has ever been made and will come with the final episode along with all the episodes for Season 3.
- In 2010, Benfer expressed interest in making an hour long Klay World episode to be included with the Joe Cam DVD. Ultimately, since Joe Cam was cancelled, the episode was never made.
