Excellent Box Set, Sep 13 2006

This review is from: He-Man and the Masters of the (DVD)
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season Two Volume Two arrives in a beautiful, colorful box set. Each of the six discs features artwork of various characters including Teela, Meckaneck, Two-Bad, and Zodac among others.
The final 32 episodes include some of the best written episodes and well loved episodes of the series. Fans of the series can look forward to owning the episodes "Not So Blind," "Teela's Triumph," and "The Greatest Show On Eternia" on DVD for the first time among other fantastic season two episodes.
Ink and Paint once again held back nothing when it came to a He-Man release. This final installment of episodes from the original series is of the highest quality. The set includes two collectible cards, one drawn by Dan Brereton and the other by Mike McKone. In addition to the cards, the set includes plentiful bonus features.
Believe it or not, they managed to produce more brand new documentaries. The first documentary is titled "The Stories of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." It's an interesting documentary where various people involved with the show speak about the final 32 episodes. Much of the conversations are about the episodes "The Greatest Show in Eternia" and "Not So Blind." It is mentioned that the writers and people involved with the show knew before production started that despite good ratings this would be the last season due to decisions from financial backers. It was also mentioned by one writer that the show had pretty much run it's course. By the show being episodic in nature, everything had to be wrapped up by the end of each episode. If they could have had continuing storylines the show may have had potential to last longer.
He Man and the Masters of the Universe Season Two Volume 2 is a must purchase to complete your He-Man DVD collection.

The Finale To A Season and a Supreme Show, Aug 22 2006

Well the time has come. He-Man Season Two Volume Two has finally hit stores. Which means that the complete He-Man series is out. Episodes like The Problem with Power, Visitors from Earth, Teela's Triumph, Orko's Return, and Not So Blind have power and potentcy with fans. The final documentary of the Stories of He-Man and a documentary called Animating He-Man round out the special features as well as a much anticipated preview of The New Adventures of He-Man due out in near future. Two excellent art cards finalize the He-Man set for this version.
Keep an eye out for She-Ra Princess of Power Season One Volume One due out in November, for He-Man crossovers as well as the Princess of Power herself, She-Ra. Let the power of He-Man return one final time!

A real auspicious occassion., Aug 11 2009

I remember the day. I was not looking without the least bit of expectation, then behold...I saw it! He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Season Two, Vol. 2. I felt like an archeologist. It was difficult keeping myself poised in the store. I could careless what it cost and made every excuse with tunnel vision. I think I put I on a credit card. They are relatively inexpensive.
I forego the conclusion that if 2 of 2 is out then all previous volumes must also be...How Nice! I had found the last, first! The following day I watched the entire volume in 12 hours. Then within 3 weeks I had the entire collection. Thereafter, I disciplined myself to watch one episode a day, it was not easy.
I would have been happy if the dvds were less than perfect, but I could not believe how much meticulous attention each episode got, with pristine quality due to BCI Eclipse. It was more than I wanted. Thereafter that, it just did not stop. Some of the most landmark cartoons of the 80's are in retail!...YES!!!
