Wow, the folks at BCI are taking 4 classic adventure series produced by Lou Scheimer's Filmation Productions in the '70s-'80s, and combining 33 episodes taken from each of them into a 4-DVD combination collection called Heroes and Heroines. This upcoming release, running 671 minutes, will be available on August 5th for the low, low price of just $19.98 SRP!

8 of the episodes are from the live-action Isis show, seen on Saturday mornings as the first such show to feature a heroine. The rest are from the animated series Space Sentinels, The Freedom Force (which included an animated Isis), and Blackstar. Below we have a studio-provided description of these shows, followed by a nice look at the package art you'll find on store shelves:
    SPACE SENTINELS
      Centuries ago, the cosmic computer entity known as Sentinel One transported three young Earthlings to his domain, granting them powers and eternal youth. Now, the trio of heroes - super-strong Hercules, shape-changing Astraea, and lightning-fast Mercury - have become legends guarding mankind as - the Space Sentinels!

    THE FREEDOM FORCE
      Headquartered in the Valley of Time, five legendary heroes also defend humanity, using their awesome powers to defeat magical menaces, rampaging robots, and mythological threats. Joining the familiar strongman Hercules are the magician Merlin, super-adventure Sinbad, armored giant of the east Super Samurai, and the beauteous Egyptian heroine known as Isis. They are The Freedom Force!

    BLACKSTAR
      When his space shuttle is pulled through a black hole, astronaut John Blackstar ends up on a distant planet called, Sagar, where the inhabitants are threatened by the brutal tyranny of the Overlord, a dark magician who possesses half of the Power Sword. Blackstar soon gains the other half of the sword, which he uses to join his allies in fighting to bring freedom and peace to the planet.

    THE SECRETS OF ISIS
      Here are the first eight episodes from The Secrets of Isis. When science teacher, Andrea Thomas, unearths a lost treasure on an archeological dig, she finds a mystical amulet which gives her the power of the Egyptian goddess, Isis. Andrea uses her new powers to stop criminals, save lives, and right wrongs.
