beware disc one needs to be replaced, bad transfer.

i love the show dont get me wrong with one star, its not the show that gets the one star rating but the product itself. BCI has done it again with the bad transfering. disc one episode three around the mid of the 15 minute mark the episode skips and freezes. its nothing on the disc itself no residue or scratches. just bad data transfering. i would believe all of the dvd sets are like this. now i have to find a way of getting it replaced.

Enter the Snake Men

The adventures of the powerful defender of Castle Grayskull come to its thrilling conclusion in "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Volume Three". Guided by the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, young Prince Adam wields his Sword of Power to become the mighty champion He-Man and leads his fellow warriors against the evils that plagued the peaceful inhabitants of the planet Eternia. In these final 13 episodes, Skeletor and his henchmen aren't the only evils to challenge He-Man. The villainous King Hiss and his loyal Snake Men have been freed from their ancient prison beneath Snake Mountain to conquer the entire planet Eternia. "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" is an amusing remake of the 1980s cartoon favorite based on Mattel's successful toy franchise. The 2002 adaptation has many similarities to the 1980s original but its stories, characters and action are well updated for a whole new generation of viewers. The second season features some solid character backgrounds. The 3-disc DVD set includes such highlight episodes like "The Last Stand", "The Price of Deceit", "The Power of Grayskull" and the two-parter "Rise of the Snake Men".

"He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Volume Three" is a well recommended purchase. The final thirteen episodes of the 2002-2003 animated series are presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen format and include the never-before-seen end of episode morals. The picture quality is pretty good and its 2.0 Dolby Digital sound offers some fine surround effects. The 3-disc DVD includes three picture galleries, three documentaries (The Making of King Grayskull, Four Horsemen & Interviews with Mattel Toy Designers and Marketers), three full episode animatics and commentaries (5 audio & 2 video) by series creators on selected episodes. Overall, "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe: Volume Three" scores a "B+". August 8, 2008

Just When It was Getting Realy Good

As a fan boy of the 1980's series I have no problem saying that this remake was a fun show from the start, but in the final season it got to its best parts. The story focused more the development of characters and Eternia's history and less on ideas for new toy designs. The episodes are fluid and well written...and then it was canceled...idiot execs >:^(

This is a must have for fans of the new and old He-man universes. August 7, 2008

Great Episodes

Here is when the series starts to get very good. Every episode is fantastic with great action. But most of all it has a continuity that is very elaborate. Here is where you get the back story of the whole conflict of Eternia and the characters. I don't know why this was canceled at all. It's a great cartoon compared to what's out now and 3 years ago. The third season would have been great if it was produced. Oh well I have to look forward to the new movie they are working on. I read some of the script at it seems fantastic. Hope it gets made. This is a must have out of the whole collection. Own volume 3 if no other. August 6, 2008

The Final 13 Episodes of a Wonderful Animated Series

No sooner does the second volume of BCI's impeccable release of Mike Young Production's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe hit shelves does news of the third and final volume's release come forth. It is with a blend of excitement and sadness that we anticipate the third volume which will consist of the final 13 episodes of the program. Originally airing in 2003 on Cartoon Network, these episodes represent the entire span of the second (and unfortunately final) season.

As has been standard fair with this series and all of BCI's efforts for that matter, expect this set to include audio and video commentaries on key episodes, a third disc filled with bonus features and a pair of collector's art cards.

August 5th will be a date for celebration for many fan boys such as myself although slightly tainted by the reality that all good things must come to an end.

Included will be the following episodes:

The Last Stand
To Walk With Dragons
Out of the Past
Rise of the Snake Men Part 1
Rise of the Snake Men Part 2
The Price of Deceit
Of Machines and Men
Second Skin
The Power of Grayskull
Web of Evil
Rattle of the Snake
History
Awaken the Serpent May 29, 2008
