This review is from: The Best of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (10 Episode Collector's Edition) (DVD)

IT'S FINALLY HERE! I feel like I've been waiting all my life for "He-Man" to be released on DVD...and the day has finally come!

First of all, He-Man has never looked better. I was absolutely thrilled when I picked up this DVD set and saw how cool the packaging was. The cover and interior photos are fabulous, and the DVD set comes with two 4 x 6 postcards featuring "Masters of the Universe" comic book art. It's gorgeous!

Now on to the best part...the DVDs themselves! This is a two-disc collection of ten classic "He-Man" episodes. Fans of the show were actually given the opportunity to vote on the episodes they wanted to include on the He-Man.org Web site several months ago...I'm thrilled that some of my favorite episodes were included! The restoration of the cartoon is amazing...it looks absolutely beautiful, with no graniness at all! The sound is greet, the navigation menus are great, and the bonus features are FABULOUS! In addition to two feature-length documentaries, there's also a sneak preview of upcoming "He-Man" releases. Beginning this fall, all 130 episodes of the series will be released in four special edition DVD boxed sets. I'M SO EXCITED! The only thing that would make me happier is if "She-Ra" follows suit...and I have a feeling it will!

Even if you plan on buying the complete series when it is released, this special collector's edition is a must-have for any fan...and the price is unbelievable! I would have paid a hundred bucks to have my favorite childhood cartoon series on DVD! (Oops...I'd better be careful who I say that to!) Pick up your copy of "He-Man" on DVD today!

5.0 out of 5 stars The first in a line of good things to come, June 30, 2005

Hi, to those complaining about this DVD being a "best of" disc instead of a season set release, don't worry! You'll get your season sets. Read the news at http://www.he-man.org. They recently conducted an interview with BCI Eclipse about the upcoming DVD release as well as future season volume set releases.

Now about this DVD itself, a 10 best episode release is not all that much to get excited about, but because we will get the season sets down the line I like to think of this 2-disc release as an appetizer. It's also the 10 "best of" release, not just some random hashed together release. Fans of He-Man actually voted in a poll for these episodes to be collected together including myself. The special features are gonna be awesome and there are those two art cards, one by Bruce Timm of "Batman: The Animated Series" fame.

This 2-disc set is especially good if you're not a huge fan of the series, but still like it enough to pick it up. It'll also be a great way to introduce others to the series without intimidating them with volume sets.

And yes, I want She-Ra on DVD as well!! But this is a great start nonetheless.

The greatest cartoon series is finally coming to DVD. This Best Of Series will pave the way for all the episodes to soon be released. The extras alone make it a must for any fan, especially those who watched it everyday at 5 in 1983 and 1984. Though the show was originally just to promote the Mattel figures it became a phenomenon and made the He-Man concepts and characters known worldwide. The animation and backgrounds are excellent, and the stories, characters, and adventures are even better. Whether you are a long time fan, or experiencing it for the first time you are sure to love this DVD and all additional episodes released.
