30TH Anniversary Commemorative DVD Collection coming in December!

[Shredder]

Not sure if they're hinting a complete soundtrack release as MillCreek stated that they were unable to locate other themes besides those already-released 11 themes.

Hopefully La-La-Land will give us some more info soon.

I hope they come through... THe interview recently where Hallmark merged audio tracks and music effects with dialouge has me worried it might be lost forever .

At very least MillCreek could feature voiceless episode audio tracks (which had to be preserved in case some foreign company wants to dub it in its native language).

Man I just want that sword...
Awesome set though.

[Firefly]

good pics from tanya tate about this .

She also has a nice preview in her Power-Con video around the 12 minute mark.

The mural that Nate did for the inside of the collection is AMAZING in person. Can't wait to purchase this box set!

Man I really want this set, but December is going to be hard enough on my wallet as it stands now!

Will the CD soundtrack be available at retail for purchase separately?
A: No, the CD included in the 30th Anniversary set is exclusively available in this collection as a promotional item. It will not be made available for sale by Mill Creek Entertainment.

Hmmm...

On the Filmation He-Man series, will there be a viewing option to listen only to the music?
A: Unfortunately, when Hallmark did the restoration of the PAL masters in the early 2000s, they permanently mixed the music, effects and dialogue audio tracks which does not allow for them to be separated.

Maaaaybe, but they had to preserve voiceless tracks in case some foreign country wanted to dub the cartoon. And I know for a fact that such tracks exist for at least huge chunk of season 1 episodes. Seriously, it's a fact, not an assumption.

(On a side note, there are voiceless tracks for She-Ra as well. At least for first season which was dubbed over here in Serbia few years ago)

(And for Secret of the sword!)

So at very least they could feature those.

What is the Castle Grayskull facade on the front of the packaging?
A: The new interpretation of Castle Grayskull was designed by Nathan Baertsch which is a hybrid of the three styles of the castle across the three series. This sculpted piece will emerge from a die-cut box cover and will be made of molded, hard plastic.

Eh? It's clearly drawn after the playset.

Looks like this box set will be out on Dec 18:

Like most, I already have every incarnation of MotU television; but I really want those EXTRAS!!!

Hopefully, if this set sells really well, Mill Creek will introduce a PoP DVD collection with plenty of extras as well!

Even though I am BUMMED that are only 20 episodes of NA (waaaaay underrated, imo) and NO PoP, I have to really recommend this set to those who don't already have the MotU DVD sets, or to those who may have the original MotU DVD's, but want the extras and a taste of NA without having to buy the complete New Adventures sets. (Be warned though, once you get acclimated to NA, you're gonna want it ALL! )

[AdultCollector]

Will it likely be available cheaper sometime after it goes on sale, or is it likely to sell out fast and end up selling for more money? I'm trying very hard to save money right now.

I would say wait until Amazon has its pre-order up to determine if its the right price for you. My wife asked me today what I wanted for Christmas and remembered this set comes out the week before.

Well, looks like Amazon's pre-order page is up already. $89.98 and the wrong release date.

In my mind we are celebrating He-Man's anniversary and even though She-Ra is He-Man's sister the celebration should include versions of He-Man only. That may be controversial but that is the way I see it.

Exactly! The only thing really surprising here is that others are surprised. It should be pretty obvious why She-Ra wasn't included here. This is a celebration of He-Man specifically.

No Region 2...?
That sux!

[Dayton72]

I just want the soundtrack.....come on Mattel....make it into a free Christmas gift for subscribers!

[eddie3429]

No Region 2...?
That sux!

Regions are not as big of a deal as people think,

the players are the same country to country its just the factory coded set up feature that makes them regional

google your DVD player and there is a 90% chance you will find a code to make it Multi- Regional , If by chance its one of the few that can't be just buy a dvd player under $30 and chances are its multi regional already if not the code for it would be extremely easy to find.

(same goes for Blu Ray)

[affleck13]

Just pre-ordered from amazom now, I know come december I wont have 90$ for another set of HE-MAN DVD's

[Wulff]

Hm, was thinking of grabbing this since it has all three series, and I am missing New Adventures. But if it's only 20 episodes...pass. I'll dig up the previous full series NA release on ebay I guess.

[Grayskull's Heir]

Eh? It's clearly drawn after the playset.

Actually, if you look closely, it's not.
It's drawn exactly after the Icon Heroes statue designed by Nathan.

[DJScorpio]

I wonder if the CD is at least remastered and not the same crap quality that was released in France.

Well Nate was the one who drew this facade temp-image for Mill Creek, upon which the sculpting is done.

[JAG2045]

This set looks amazing, I already have the ink & paint sets but am tempted to pick this up but des anyone know the following:

1. Have they said what NA eps are included?
2. They mention the CD is only a promotional item - so has does someone get a copy? is it only included on sets bought on a certain site or limited to 100 copies etc?

Why is blu ray so out of the question? One can still include the eps in SD on blu ray. It would be a lot less discs.

[pH6]

des anyone know the following:

1. Have they said what NA eps are included?

AFAIK, there hasn't been an official word on that yet, but we know two: Sword & Staff and Once Upon a Time as revealed by Busta Toons (who made the selection apparently). I'm sure he'll spill the rest suitably tortured or when he gets permission to do so.
