Masters of the Universe - 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

As many people have already stated, this set is nothing new to the fans of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The previously released DVD sets produced by BCI/Eclipse are fantastic and chalk-full of extras with wonderful artwork and beautiful packaging. With that said, I still find this 30th Anniversary set to be worthy of anyone's DVD collection. -The entire 80's Masters of the Universe television series is included; all with the same transfer quality and audio that the original sets have. I have the earlier releases, and I know that Season 2, volume 1 is extremely hard to come by - and expensive. This set is a great way to own the episodes included in season two at a much cheaper price. Also includes Six Documentary Featurettes, 100 Character Profiles, and English & Spanish Audio Tracks. -The entire 2002 Masters of the Universe series is also included in this set. It features an awesome digital transfer and extremely clear audio throughout the whole run. Also, some of the extras included for this series include episode scripts, audio commentary from the producers, interviews with toy-line artists from Mattel and the Four Horsemen and, and a PDF comic for the unreleased final episode. This is a great way to experience the 2002 He-Man series if you happened to have missed it. It gives the cast of the original series some surprisingly cool new designs and updates many of the beloved stories found in the 80's series. -Unfortunately this set only features 20 episodes of the New Adventures of He-Man television series that aired in the 90's. Contrary to popular belief, this new take on He-Man was quite satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable. However, the episodes that are included are some of the best in the whole run. We get to see familiar faces like King Randor, Queen Marlena, the Sorceress, and Teela along with an entire cast of new heroes and villains! Many people refer to this version of the mythos as "He-Man in space," and that is a fair (although not entirely accurate) assessment. I wish the entire series was included, but I am glad that we get to see these awesome 'fan's choice' episodes, and many customers may not even know that this series existed until now. Also has an added Bonus Documentary Featurette. Now, many people may already own everything listed above, so here are some of the extras that are included in this Anniversary set: -A bonus "FANS OF MOTU" DVD containing a brand new documentary in addition to ten previously unreleased documentary programs. As far as documentaries are concerned, this 30th Anniversary featurette has some new and not-so-new information about the Filmation series, action figures, and fan's insights and thoughts. Definitely worth watching for the true MOTU fans. -An 11-Track CD Sountrack featuring selections from the Filmation He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series by Shuki Levy. Although there is A LOT of missing music (I'm looking at you 2002 and New Adventures...) what we have here is rather satisfying. All of the tracks come from the 80's series and are represented in crisp, clear transfers. The music is extremely nostalgic and well worth listening to. I am very happy to have these tracks in my music collection. -An exclusive Masters of the Universe Classics Power Sword in an Eternian Gold color scheme made just for this commemorative anniversary edition. If you are a collector of the MOTUC figures, then this is a real treat! Made by Mattel and only available in this set, He-Man's power sword looks amazing in this new gold color. Even if you are not a collector of action figures, this would make a nice pendant or an hors d'oeuvre skewer :) -An episode guide in the form of a 48-page commemorative booklet for all 189 episodes. This is self-explanatory, but I should note that some of the screen captures are mistakenly re-used in the Filmation section of the booklet. Otherwise, this is an awesome little book that summarizes EVERY episode in this collection, including: 130 episodes of MotU, 39 episodes of 2002 MotU, and all 20 episodes of NA He-Man. This collection comes in a fantastic collectors box featuring wonderful artwork by Alvin Lee and a sweet three-dimensional relief of Castle Grayskull! Each disc is individually inserted into its own sleeve and stacked on top of one another in a velvet-like encasement. The entire box is set inside a cool looking clear box that displays wonderfully should you choose to keep it inside when not in use. All in all I am impressed with Mill Creek. I had no reason to purchase this set seeing as how I already have every episode contained herein. But the extras are what piqued my interest, and the awesome box sealed the deal. True that there is nothing really new here for the die-hard fans save for the extras, but taken on its own merit this is a wonderful set at a great price (even though I paid $90 for it back in December, grrrrr...) and if you should happen to be missing any episode from any one of these series, this is a great way to get it with extras attached! Long live He-Man and the Masters of the Universe!

. This set is worth its original asking price just for the effort on the original FILMATION series being arranged in continuity order, and in one complete set. Including the Cartoon Network series as well as a top ten of the lesser-known NEW ADVENTURES of HE-MAN is pure gravy. Throw in a Soundtrack CD complete in jewel case, Documentary DVDs and an exclusive GOLD power sword accessory from MATTEL, (for your cobweb-covered original HE-MAN figure) you have an impressive value sitting in your lap. The only drawbacks for this set (aside from being a limited, numbered edition) is that all the DVD discs are packed tightly in the box in individual cardboard sleeves, which may be a turnoff for some; and does not contain the ENTIRETY of the NEW adventures series.

At last this is what we were waiting for. A massive 189 episodes plus new and exclusive extras which are a must have for the fans. True "the new adventures..." series are presented here with a top 20 best episodes but that is not a problem as that series were not regarded as high as the rest were by the fans. What's important is we get the first and best of the series complete as we also get the complete remake series and the 20 best episodes we get from the "new adventures series" are a nice addition plus we get extras like a cd soundtrack score with a booklet and new documenteries. ALL IN ALL IF U DON'T HAVE THE PREVIOUS RELEASES BUT EVEN IF U DO THIS IS A MUST HAVE PRODUCT TO BUY COMBINED WITH THE GREAT DVD BOX SET ARTWORK U GET. P.S U can find this also at www.amazon.ca $20.00 cheaper...check it out.

PACKAGING: Yes, the clear plastic outer box is depressingly fragile, and it's not a question of IF, but WHEN it's going to crack into pieces. Sometimes, these sets ARRIVE cracked or in pieces. Heck, I left my mint-condition set on the shelf and didn't even touch it for a few years, and the next time I picked it up, the lid-flap split along its hinge-fold and broke off. The plastic on the outer box is inevitably going to degrade and crumble with the inexorable passage of time. (Sorry, got a bit Werner Herzog there, for a moment.). The best thing I can recommend is to get a clear acrylic display box 7"L x 6"W x 10"H to keep all the bits in one place. DVDS: I have seen a lot of reviews of this set where people complain that their discs won't play, or won't play certain episodes, or glitch when you try to play them. I had all these problems, too. And I realised it was a problem with the machines I was trying to play them on (PS2, laptop, and desktop), not the discs themselves. Last year, I sought out a nice new, cheap, region-free DVD player . . . and it played all the discs flawlessly. You can get these brand-new, cheap, region-free modern DVD players here on Amazon for around £35 / US$45. Do that. I bet it solves all your other disc-playing problems, too. Hope this helps!

i bought he man Masters of the Universe - 30th Anniversary Limited Edition and it was completely new when i bought it i checked out season 3 disc 2 and i will call mill creek to get the replacement disc when i clicked on the link customer service it said error does not go through so i will call the number tomorrow to get my replacement disc but very good cartoon series but he man sword i opened up the box it is a little gold sword do not let children under 4 play with the sword it is a choke hazard plus it was made in japan cd works fine as well too. brings back my childhood memories. also note the new adventures of he-man disc 2 the bonus documentary when i played this it skips alot and the picture is not good it freezes like crazy there were no scratches on it but the disc is defective i am calling mill creek

Thank you

I min samling med hundratals steelbooks så är detta min absoluta favorit. Långt över vad jag förväntade mig.

Pour usage de visionnage à à titre personnel

日本ではマイナーですが海外で一斉風靡した作品です オリジナルは80年代の作品ですが2000年にはいってからも続編が作られ海外ではフィギュアなどが近年リニューアルされ販売されるなどジワジワ人気が再燃してきています 剣と魔法のファンタジー物の王道ですのでその手の作品が好きな方は是非 ちなみにDVD22枚で全作品が入っておりお買い得です まあ自分はフィギュアに持たせられる限定ゴールドカラーの剣が特典なのでそっちが気になり購入しましたが(笑)
