Mailman is the eighth episode in the first season of Mixels. It first aired on March 12, 2014.

Synopsis

Frustrated Cragsters must join together to catch a lightning fast mailman: Zorch.^[1]

Episode Summary

Shuff orders a Teddy Butterfly online so he can complete his collection of Ceramic Figurines. Zorch keeps intentionally missing the delivery, which angers Shuff. Shuff calls Seismo to help stop Zorch. Seismo places a giant boulder in place of an entrance to the Cragster Kingdom to stop Zorch, which fails, as Zorch just runs up it.

Shuff calls Krader to help and Krader decides they will dig underground and surprise Zorch when he runs by. This fails, however. Shuff comes to the conclusion that they need to Max to catch Zorch. Then, the Cragsters Max finally catches Zorch. The Teddy Butterfly is delivered and Shuff accidentally smashes it out of excitement, turning his laughing into crying.
