Format:DVD
This re-make is actually better than the classic version as visually it is much nicer, the action scenes are fantastic, the dialogue is much improved and Skeletor is an absolute hoot.
Although this is aimed at children (I am 27 years old) it certainly has mature blood pumping through it's veins and so means that adults can enjoy it with out being patronised.
The story lines are coherent and are interwoven. We are treated to origin stories and get a great insight into how Skeletor becomes so, how and why He-Man is protector of Eternity and back stories for the other main characters. I cannot express enough how much fun I have found watching this and I find it to be great inspiration regarding creating fantasy worlds for film.
The only reason this is not 5 stars is because it does have a slight twinge towards children but as noted, it is not too childish and can easily be enjoyed by an older audience...especially if you watched the original as a child like myself.

Though this is the American region 1 release , so it won't play on most uk spec machines ( so beware before ordering ). This is finally after the half hearted Uk issues of this fantastic 1980's fantasy cartoon. Do we get the whole series issued over 4 sets of around 24 discs.He-man aka Prince Adam who lives on the planet Eternia with his father who is King of Eternia. Adam though has a secret that he is HE-MAN and he protects the planet from scheming evil Skeletor. Though HE-MAN gets help from Castle Grayskull and Man at Arms to fight the evil villian. Skeletor will stop at nothing to take control of Grayskull to get HE-MAN's powers.
This was and still is a great fun series and though cheesy in parts and sometimes overbearing in it's 'Life is sacred' message.The Special features on all four sets are extensive from commentaries to a dvd-rom storyboards to interviews with the creators. And alook into the work of the company that made this series and other classics they produced.The overall quality is first rate with an embossed outer casing to a booklet. It seems that many U.K issue releases have a lot to live up to and seem to fall way short of the American issues. The series Still stands the test of time and is far better than the third series made after that awful live action movie. Also it must be remembered that U.S imports over a certain value will be liable to a heavy VAT customs charge. It seems to vary but the item will be held until the cost is paid or returned to the seller. Also I suspect that this issue will be a rare find in not to long a time so snap it up as soon as you can !.

This complete 4 disc box set is a fantastic buy.
It containes all 39 episodes of the 2002 remake that is a must have for any Masters of the universe fan young or old.
This series tells the story of He-man in a much tighter story rich in the background of Eternia and the masters of the universe.
