horrible reissue of this great set,
This review is from: He-Man (DVD)
packaging on this new set is cheap and flimsy. no care whatsoever put into it.I was actually buying these to replace my old heman dvd sets, but these appear to be nothing more than that set repacked as cheaply as possible by a new company. do yourself a favour, if you really love heman, track down the older box sets. those were far superior to this piece of crap double dip. weak presentation of a classic series.

What's with the packaging?,
This review is from: He-Man (DVD)
I'm extremely disappointed with the packaging of this item. At least the older version, each disc had it's own page to hold the disc, but this is just a case with multiple sleeves holding each disc. They're all loose, just kept together in a square pen in the middle of the case.

He-Man, the Mill Crrek Version,
By Rufas2000 - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: He-Man (DVD)
There has been some confusion about the contents and quality of this set. Let me assure you most of the BCI goodness is here.What it has: - The picture and sound are very good for an 80s show and I would be shocked if its anything other than the BCI masters (I used to own them but sold them, wish I hadn't). - There are 5 scripts, 50 profiles and 2 documentaries. - The episodes are presented in storyline order, not air date order, for better or worse. - The moral segment ("Safety first") at the end is included (Retro TV cuts those out, at least when I watched it). - The DVDs themselves have the art the BCI series did. They are not double sided discs. - The set even has the episode guide slip that I believe came with the BCI boxes. What it does not have is the packaging and physical goodies of the BCI set. Its a double size Mill Creek case with the DVDs in protective envelopes and stacked in the case "square". Just like other Mill Creek releases, only bigger. Actually I like this mode of packaging, protective and easy to get to. But your mileage may vary. I wish it had the cards or whatever it was the BCI sets came with but not that big a deal. With a $19.99 - $29.99 price tag if you don't have the BCI releases (and the physical goodies) and want the original He - Man serires buy this set. It's got all the content. Four and a half stars. Note: Some of this was from memory (the BCI set I owned and sold :( ) so please correct me about the BCI set if I made any mistakes. I just wanted to clear the record about what was in the set and what wasn't there in this hastily written review. 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful

Whacked packaging, excellent quality DVD,
By Jazzin Knight - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: He-Man (DVD)
I agree with most sentiments on here - the packaging, typical of Mill Creek, is pretty bad, considering that if you want to replace the default paper sleeves with something else, the case that houses the 8 dvd's is essentially useless. I wound up taking an empty 25 disc spindle and putting the He - Man dvd's in that just to make sure I wouldn't scratch the DVD's with the frequent removal of the dvd's from their cases.With that said, the picture quality and sound is surprisingly pretty good (albeit there are on average about 10 episodes crammed up per dvd). I have a Denon receiver, a Sony HD TV, and some old school SONY dvd players but the episodes on the series look pretty crisp. At the time, I got this set for just under 13 dollars and to be quite frank, having 65 episodes of the first season for that price is a steal. Mind you, I've never owned the sets made available by BCI, although I did check them out from the library at one point. BCI sets are packed with more features but the Mill Creek version definitely has some interesting add ons. As a person on a budget, I do not mind missing out on some added features that were made available by the BCI sets and what mattered to me the most is that what I originally bought this set for, the 65 episodes, did not disappoint. This one of the most cherished animated series that I've ever watched (Gargoyles, Batman the Animated Series, Justice League, Transformers, Voltron, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Scooby Doo, etc. being others) and as being a father of a 3 year old, this is definitely a series I would like to have my son watch. The fact that the violence is pretty minimal and that there's an importance piece of advice from He Man at the end of every episode (i.e. stealing, being cognizant of others, etc) is what makes this series ageless. 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Another Mill Creek Entertainmen quality product,
By Mkhuete - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: He-Man (DVD)
These series include:* 5 Complete Episode Scripts * 50 detailed profiles of various characters, creatures and artifacts with video * Documentary - The Secret Origins of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe * Documentary - The Stories of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Season 1 Part 1 * Documentary - The Stories of He-man and the Masters of the Universe Season 1 Part 2 * English & Spanish audio tracks For the price you can't complain about these set, if you do want to complain about the lack of more bonus features then go ahead and spent hundreds of dollars on the BCI release, for the average fan who only needs to see the series and perhaps some good bonus features these is the set to go for. |
