Review: The Masters of the Universe is one of the most iconic cartoons to come out of the 1980s.  The show has a HUGE cult following and still generates a ton of revenue in collectibles.  A few years back BCI released the series on DVD...these sets were not cheap, but they were super cool and full of extras.  Now, Mill Creek has picked-up the license and is re-releasing the series in their style.  What style is that?  Affordable!  The quality of these sets is wonderful...the discs are basically the same and include all the extras and some very attractive packaging.  You can get the entire first season now for only about $20!  You can also buy it in two volumes for about $10 each.  Thank goodness for Mill Creek.  This fan couldn't be happier!  They're releasing other great 80s series, like COPS, right now and I can't wait to see what else they give us in the future.  

The special features on this DVD set include: English & Spanish audio tracks, 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-Manand the Masters of the Universe Season 1 Part 1 and Documentary - The Stories of He-man and the Masters of the Universe Season 1 Part 2.
