Today was the first day of the 2005 San Diego Comic Con event, where DVD announcements have been a tradition (don't believe me? Check out all the news for animated programs on DVD in the last two days!). A lucky fellow named Bob Banks was there today, and managed to snag a 1-sheet flyer at the event. Bob was nice enough to scan it and e-mail it to us, and as you can see we've dissected it so you can more easily see the cover art to the
October 18, 2005 street-dated release of
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Season 1, Volume 1:
The text to the top right has these bullet points:
- 33 Digitally Remastered Episodes
- 6 DVDs in a 6-Panel DigiPak
- 2 New Documentary Features
- 2 New Original Art Cards
- Variety of additional special features including: CHARACTER PROFILES, SCRIPTS, STORYBOARDS, and more!
- 1st of 4 volumes - All 130 Episodes
- Packaging features a "spine art mural" - buy all 4 to complete the image!
$49.98 MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) will be the going rate for this set, according to the flyer. As you can see, the bottom left of the flyer is filled with information about this week's release of
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Best 10 Episode Collector's Edition DVDs (which I'm enjoying even as I type this up!), and the bottom right of the flyer shows off the
two upcoming top-5-per-season UMD releases.
Our apologies (and Bob's) that this is the best scan we could get for you. We're not positive, of course, that this is the final version of the artwork, but once BCI sends around their official press information we'll obtain a sharper picture for you, changed or not. Thanks again to our reader for taking a break from the show and thinking of us, and all the
He-Man fans for much should stay tuned more about this release, to be announced in the weeks to come!
