We're pleased to be the first to bring you all of the details about BCI's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Season 1, Volume 2 on DVD. The next chapter in the He-Man saga arrives in stores on February 14th, Valentine's Day, but we don't see the evil Skeletor (pictured on the cover) offering up any roses or boxes of chocolate! The first 5 DVDs in this new 6-disc set contain episodes 34-65, fully restored for optimum audio and video quality, and presented in story continuity order. The 6th DVD contains lots of special bonus features, including 2 brand-new documentaries:
- "The Stories of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season 1, Part 2": Interviews with producers, writers, directors, and experts, specifically commenting on the Season One episodes #34-65.
- "He-Man Invades the San Diego Comic-Con": Edited version of the panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2005, plus footage from the signings at the convention booth.
- Full length animated storyboard with interactive episode comparison for episode #40, "House of Shokoti, Pt. 1."

- Trivia and "fun facts"
- Commercial spots
- DVD-ROM feature: 5 complete episodes scripts (.PDF format, PC/MAC readable)

And, as always, there are two 4x6 art cards enclosed! These are by Earl Norem and Gilbert Hernandez:
- Having painted hundreds of memorable covers for novels, gaming books, and Marvel Comics in the last three decades - on such characters as Conan, Hulk, and Transformers - Earl Norem also brought his fine-art style to He-Man licensed books and magazines. Here, he redefines an iconic moment for He-Man and Battlecat.
- As one of the two multiple award-winning creators of Love & Rockets, Gilbert Hernandez has created haunting, dramatic, funny and poignant stories set in the Central American town of Palomar. Now, he brings whimsy and fear to a magical art card featuring Orko, Dree Elle, and some of He-Man's most beastly bad guys!
The He-Man and the Masters of the Universe DVD releases are some of the best-crafted TV-DVDs ever, produced with careful attention to detail and made with the kind of love that fans can truly appreciate. This 3rd DVD release is certain to be as well-received as the previous entries. Here is the exciting cover art for this release, followed by a pic that demonstrates how the spines of the box sets are being designed to form a neat picture of Castle Grayskull!
