4.0 out of 5 stars Who said nostalgia was a thing of the past? 10 Oct 2003
Format:DVD
As soon as I heard this DVD was due out in late September, I was excited. I bought it as soon as possible, and have already watched the whole thing four or five times. It's still as great as I remember it all those many years ago. Maybe the production quality isn't as good as for modern cartoons, but who cares? All six episodes are excellent, the menus/music is great and the extras are a great touch. The art galleries are very detailed and it's a pleasure to listen to commentary by two people who know their stuff and genuinely seem happy to be there.

I was tempted to give this five stars. But that just means future volumes have a lot to live up to (in my eyes, anyway). One or two more extras, such as scene selection would have given it five stars regardless of that, though.

So Volume 2 is out in December - it's going on the Christmas list, unless I decide to just buy it myself. I'm 22 and I was about 5 when I first saw the show. Now I can relive my childhood. Grow up? Me? Never.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent....but 4 July 2004
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Its brilliant that they have finally brought the classic He-Man back on DVD. However, they could have got more episodes onto the DVD by removing the DVD fan commentary. The episodes are in perfect audio and picture condition. This would of been better released as a box set than indiviual discs. I hope they release the other versions of He-Man (New Adventures of He-Man, Masters of the Universe) in the UK.

Overall it is good to watch this classic series again, kids today should watch this and other 80's/ 90's cartoons to see what they have been missing with the now unrealistic and lousy people drawing and dumbing down. This is a retro classic, and should be put back on the TV.

5.0 out of 5 stars I HAVE THE POWER!!!!! 4 Oct 2003
Format:DVD
Can you believe it? He-Man, and I mean the original one from 1983, has finally hit the shelves this week! It's a pure nostalgia trip featuring 6 episodes from the immortal TV series.

It contains:
> The Cosmic Comet
> The Shaping Staff
> Disappearing Act
> Diamond Ray of Disappearance
> She-Demon of Phantos
> Teela's Quest

There are also a couple of extras with fan art, production stills, commentary and a 'Series Bible' as DVD rom content.

Excellent nostalgia and well worth the wait. Check it out, it's as good as you remember guys!
