Product ReviewsHe-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Season 1: Volume 1 (DVD, 2005, 6-Disc Set, Digipak)

Get ready to feel the power of Grayskull!

Season 1 - Volume 1: He-man & the Masters of the Universe! The classic 80s cartoon FINALLY arrives with all its memorable characters, stories & fantasy, digitally remastered with extras! This fall - mark the date! October 18th! Part 1 of 2, Season 1, this set is chock-a-block with amazing extras. The hit cartoon adventure series brought to life the adventures of Prince Adam & his alter-ego, the mighty He-Man battling the evil Skeletor to protect the secrets of Castle Grayskull. Son of King Randor and Queen Marlena of Eternia, his faithful sidekick was the cowardly green & orange pet tiger, Cringer. "By the power of Grayskull!" Adam's cry in times of danger, together with his magical 'Sword Of Power' transformed them into the mighty He-Man and the ferocious tiger, Battle Cat. Aided by Man-At-Arms, Duncan (the slightly older scientist and Adam's mentor), his adopted daughter Teela (Captain of the Guards and Prince Adam's aide), the quirky & comic Orko (the little floating magician) & Ram Man (kind hearted, but slow "human battering ram") with his winged ally Stratos, the team faced the forces of evil. The Sorceress of Castle Grayskull entrusted Prince Adam with the Sword of Power to defend the magnificent kingdom of Eternia and Grayskull - said to hold the powers to rule the entire universe.
Heading the forces of darkness was Skeletor, the evil hooded skull face, residing on the dark side of the planet in his powerful fortress, Snake Mountain. While the savage, dim-witted Beast Man, who possessed telepathic control over many animals was his right hand; it was Evil-Lyn, the incredibly shrewd witch who played on Skeletor's troop for sheer convenience, only to assume power for herself at the right moment. The cyborg-like Trap Jaw, aquatic warlord Mer-Man, and the three-eyed, pan-visioned Tri-Klops completed Skeletors army.

The show ran for two seasons, of 65 episodes each - hence the DVD release of each season has been split into 2 Volumes each, over the next 2 years. Initially, many of the stories put our heroes against Skeletor, revolving around Castle Grayskull. As the series grew the adventures took them to many different locations and foes, often putting characters on both sides of the battle. Sometimes criticized for being too dark & violent for its time, this claim seems a little redundant in today's age of children's graphic animation. Particularly note-worthy is that each episode ended with one or two of the characters presenting a moral from that episode's tale - the consequences of thoughts & actions, which makes the series particularly relevant given the times we live in. For fans of the show - its a great chance to relive those golden moments of childhood, & hopefully it will open the door to a whole new generation of fans, adults & kids. Get ready to feel the power of Grayskull!

Memories of the 80's

I love this show, my favorite characters are Ooroko and Cringer, the stories are entertaining I love the action, the old fashion pencil and paper art and the music. I grew up on show's like these, but I didn't get this dvd just for me (Well, okay partly for me) I also got it for my nephew, I plan to show He-man to him soonRead full review...

I HAVE THE POWER!

What is there to say, He-Man is one of the greatest cartoons ever. Now before anyone starts to be all nitpick-y and list the errors and plot holes, remember, this is a cartoon for kids. I loved this show as a kid and have fond memories watching it with my dad. If you were a kid in the 80s, buy these and take an afternoon off to sit and watch them, it will take you back to happy times. If you have kids, get this for them, they will love it. If it wasn't for He-Man, there wouldn't have been cartoons for Transformers, GI Joe and all the other toy-based properties. Take my word for it, you won't be disappointed.Read full review...

Masters of the Universe

This was an excellent find. Not only does it bring back my childhood, I also won it at 12 dollars less Circuit City here locally!
Superb quality as it is of course a marketed DVD box set.
I bought it due to its low starting bid and that I never forget one of the cartoons that has helped shape my imagination.
ThanksRead full review...
