He's Got the Power of an Iron Fist... and the Courage to Master It!

One hundred years after The Robot Wars, a boy named Marty discovers the legendary Fist of Eon. When Marty tries the fist on for size, it gives him amazing fighting powers and Marty suddenly finds himself in the middle of a centuries-old battle between good and evil. Can the new heir of Eon - with the help of his robotic dog Buttons, mysterious friend Ally, mighty guardian Gaff and more - now escape the wrath of The General's dark forces and protect a legendary warrior's legacy? Eon Kid is packed with bounty hunters, desert bikers, battle-bots and secret agents. Experience the heroic adventures of the only 11-year-old who can save our world: The Eon Kid!

This single disc dvd release include 5 episodes from season 1. They are:

Episode 1 "The Legendary Fist"
Episode 2 "The Heir to the Fist"
Episode 3 "The Journey Begins"
Episode 4 "Strength Isn't Everything"
Episode 5 "Ally's Secret"

The interesting thing about this release is that during the original US airing of the series (on the now defunct Kids' WB!), episodes 4 and 5 were combined together. That episode was simply called "Ally's Secret" so it's nice to be able to see the original episodes without being edited.

As for the special features, this disc includes a nice photo gallery, extended trailer for this series, a downloadable mini-poster and sneak peeks. Overall, the special features are better than nothing but I would have liked to see a behind the scenes featurette or episode commentary.

The DVD itself comes with a removable sleeve the matches the cover and the back. Inside the case, a single sheet "Eon Kid" mini-poster (different from the one that can be downloaded via the disc) is included and on the back, a list of episodes is included. Also in the dvd are stickers from the Nick Jr. series Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!

All and all, it's a highly recommended set and I can't wait for future releases.

My son's grandfather bought this dvd for my son. Neither of us had ever heard of this before. It was so awesome, we watched the entire dvd in one night. I quickly ordered volume two which left us both wanting more. I have been waiting and hoping for over a year for the next season to come but it hasn't yet :) My son was 5 I didn't think it was too violent or anything for his age group. We cant wait to see what happens next with Marty :)

The first season has 23 episodes. We as a family really do like the series, we would like to have the whole complete season. Not just a teaser of 5 shows.

They did great job with this show. I am looking forward to next season if there is one. The DVD quality is great. The shows are recorded in the same format as the TV show, they are broken into episodes, but at least you can fast forward through the credits and the introductions.

My daughter liked the episodes very much. The DVD kept her entertained. My only complaint is the soundtrack was a little quiet on the first few episodes, but it got better on the latter 3 episodes.

My children begged me to buy these DVD's after seeing previews for the show, but the previews never indicated just how violent they would be!

The animation is darling--bright colors and charming character images--but I'm afraid they're too violent for their intended age group to earn the full five stars from me.

Sent this to my grandkids (boy 7; girl 4)for Valentine's Day. It was late and I didn't expect it to arrive at their APO address by Valentine's day but it did. They loved it.

My guys (early-elementary-aged) both really like this series, and the toys that go with it. They watch the two available dvds again & again.
