He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - First DVD Release Announced! Episode List, Extras, BOX ART, Press Release, Screen Shots, + Plans For 2nd Release!
My power sword is drawn, and I'm ready to say the magic words! BCI Eclipse today made the announcement for the first-ever North American DVD release of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. As foretold in BCI's previous press release, the first DVD set is a "10 Best Episode" 2 DVD set from the original 1983 series. The He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Best 10 Episode Collector's Edition will arrive in stores on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, and - as orginally planned - will be launched at retail in conjunction with the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con International convention.
As we reported, a poll taken at He-Man.org, the most powerful He-Man fansite in the universe, was used to determine the 10 episodes which would be published on this 2-DVD set. The top 5 episodes from Season 1 and the top 5 from Season 2 were chosen to occupy the digital realm of this release, along with many extras (some of which we hinted at recently). Here are the complete contents of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Best 10 Episode Collector's Edition, counting down the episodes to the most favorite ones from the polls:
Disc 1 (Best of Season 1):
#5: "Evilseed"
#4: "Quest for He-Man"
#3: "Prince Adam No More"
#2: "Diamond Ray of Disappearance"
#1: "Teela's Quest"
Disc 2 (Best of Season 2):
#5: "Into the Abyss"
#4: "Teela's Triumph"
#3: "To Save Skeletor"
#2: "The Problem with Power"
#1: "Origin of the Sorceress"
Special Features:
Two brand-new documentary featurettes with a variety of talent involved in the making of the original series, including voice-over actors, artists, and those working behind the scenes.
Two 4" x 6" exclusive He-Man art cards, by Bruce Timm and Adam Hughes.
Timm is an Emmy-award winning animator, responsible for building the modern DC Comics cartoon franchise. He landed his first animation job in 1981 with Filmation where he worked on He-Man.
Hughes is a multiple Harvey and Eisner Award winner, and one of the most popular comic book creators working today. He was recently chosen to illustrate Warner Bros. Wonder Woman film poster.
Triva and "fun facts" about the creation of He-Man
Upcoming releases trailer
Wow, great stuff just for starters! Keep in mind that those special features are subject to change, but what will NOT change is that the episodes are digitally remastered and restored. We have some actual screen captures for you at the bottom, but first let's take a look at the packaging, and also BCI's formal press release. After that, check out the screen shots we mentioned, and then read on after those for more information about future He-Man releases:
