Synopsis:
Excitement and adventure a wait those who enter the magical land of
Eternia! Join He-Man and the Masters of the Universe as they battle
against Skeletor and his crew of dastardly villains in the greatest
adventures ever told! These first 33 episodes are only the beginning of
the most phenomenal stories ever created in animation! Relive the
excitement as you enjoy the adventures of the universe's greatest
warriors. The power has returned!
C'mon - if you were a boy growing up in the 80s, you worshipped at the
alter of the uber-cool and uber-macho He-Man and his loyal band of
merry men battle the treacherous Skeletor and his henchmen for control
of Castle Greyskull. Riding around on his crazy super-tiger, waving
his sword at any who dare cross his path, He-Man flexed his muscles
all over Eternia... and we loved it.
Packaged up in this 6-disc set is the first 33 episodes of this
beloved series. Each episode is lovingly digitized (and possibly
restored) to crystal-clear clarity and can be replayed over and over
without fear of wearing out your old Betamax. Also included are some
really impressive documentaries on the making of this show - they
talked to producers, writers, animators - basically ANYone who had
anything to do with getting this show on the air.
Fantastic DVD set from the fine folks at BCI Eclipse, very easy to recommend!
