He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Details & Box Art for 2002 Show's Volume 1 DVD Set

As we've reported, February 19th sees BCI's release of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe - Volume 1, the first of 3 DVD releases of the 2002 version of the show. Reader L. Allen has sent us the heads-up that this set is now up for pre-order at Amazon, where you can pre-order it for $18.99 (discounted from the $26.98 SRP). Amazon has some info about the contents, but Navarre's studio listing for the item has a more complete set of information (Navarre owns BCI). Here is the listed info, and below that is Navarre's medium-sized 3D picture of the box art, followed by Amazon's larger 2D picture:

This was a revival of the classic 80's cartoon He-man and the Masters of the Universe for the modern age, it focused on the early adventures of Prince Adam, who, having just become Eternia's most powerful guardian He-Man, had to learn how to handle his new powers, and lead his allies into battle against the evil Skeletor. With the aid of his own Evil Warrior henchmen, Skeletor schemes to blanket Eternia in chaos, and rule over the planet in dominion. Only He-Man, guided and advised by the Sorceress of Castle Grayskull, stands in his way.

With the aid of his trusted friends and Masters, he vows to end Skeletor's evil and the other evils that plague Eternia. The battle is joined as Good and Evil collide in a fight for Eternia's fate!

This unique take on the retro fan favorite delighted and entertained the children of this decade as it did to those living in the 80's.
