A
number of questions have popped up lately about the busts
and statues from NECA
and the Four
Horsemen. And some answers have finally come to light.
A
big concern for fans lately has been the 15"
Castle Grayskull door, which fans were slated to
get for free if they could provide proof of purchase for the
first four 15" statues (Skeletor, Clawful, Sorceress
& Tri-Klops).
At first it seemed as though NECA only produced 50 of the
doors, which was a far cry from the number of statues produced.
Many fans became concerned if they would even get a door,
as reports soon filtered in that the doors were already out
of stock.
NECA has let us know that they are currently working to get
more doors in stock, but they are not yet sure of the possible
quantity.
They want fans to know that the numbering on the outside of
the shipping box (which is what showed a quantity of 50) only
pertains to the shipment itself and not the production run
of the door.
NECA is also working to get doors for everyone who can provide
proof or purchase for all four statues, not just for people
who ordered through the Collector's
Club as previously feared.
For international fans who purchased all four 15" statues,
there's a slight catch. The door is extremely heavy. Because
of international freight costs, NECA cannot afford to ship
this item for free and is asking international fans to pay
for the shipping charge just as they would for any other product.
Another
question fans had is if the convention exclusive Evil-Lyn
Mini-Statue (with classic colors) would be available
to fans outside of the cons.
NECA has let us know that she will indeed be available in
the future for sale via the online Collector's
Club. They are currently checking the inventory on these
Mini-Statues and will put them up for sale as soon as this
is done. They are not sure how long this will take to complete.
Lastly,
fans have been itching to know when some of the upcoming bust
and statues products will be available. NECA has provided
us a tentative release schedule.
Please bear in mind, these dates are subject to change.

Check out the Masters Cast San Diego Comic-Con special
episode!
We've been meaning to endorse this podcast for a
while, and this is the perfect chance to do it. Masters
Cast, the first He-Man and She-Ra podcast, recorded their
latest episode live on the floor of the San Diego International
Comic-Con. The podcast recaps the events of this year's convention
and includes exclusive interviews with Lou Scheimer,
Erika Scheimer, Larry DiTillio,
James "BustaToons" Eatock, Val
Staples, and Eamon O’Donoghue.
The episode is available for download in mp3 format via
this link.
Interested
in experiencing the convention floor yourself? Masters Cast
also has the interview with Lou and Erika Scheimer available
as a video
download. (QuickTime 7 required for viewing)
Masters Cast began on October 16, 2005 and is hosted by fellow
fans Jon "TheShadow" Kallis, Josh "Lioncourt"
Johnson, and Katy "Rainbow Brite" Cartee. To find

An important note about Amazon orders and other support
for He-Man.org Some of you out there place your orders at Amazon.com
and other endorsed retailers here on He-Man.org to help support
this site.
We're very grateful for your help.
But it's come to our attention that retailers e-mail fans
directly to notify them of upcoming products.
The only way your orders support this site is if you click
on the links from this main page. Links retailers send you
directly, or just going to the retailer's site on your own
because we've mentioned them, etc, does not help He-man.org.
You have to click on the links here in order for us to receive
credit for any order you place.
Also
remember that once you visit these retailers from the links
here on the main page, anything you order at that site helps
support He-Man.org.
For example, let's say you want to pick up a HotWheels DVD
from Amazon. And you also like helping to support this site.
Well, if you click on one of the Amazon links here on the
main page, once you are at the site you can then navigate
to the HotWheels DVD using their search features and product
links, then order the DVD. The order helps us at the same
time.
It costs you nothing extra, and helps chip in a little for
the large cost of running this site.
And that applies to any retailer linked to from this main
page.
Thanks
again for all of your support!

Update on the SOTS DVD variant presale:
Eleven days into the presale and we've already presold over
400 copies.
We plan to take 400 copies to Wizard
World Chicago.
This leaves less than 200 copies available for presale! So

San
Diego Comic Con saw its busiest year ever, with a record
number of attendees said to be in the 170,000 range.
And the record attendance was felt at the BCI
booth!
BCI sold out of all 800 She-Ra t-shirts, which you got for
free with the purchase of a Best of She-Ra DVD
at the con, by early Saturday morning. Then they continued
to sell DVDs through closing on Sunday. This marks incredible
interest in the release of She-Ra on DVD!
Not to mention all 10,000 She-Ra, 10,000 Ultraman and 10,000
Flash Gordon temporarily tattoos were scooped up by midday
Saturday.
Then
there were sights to behold over at the NECA
booth, where the Four
Horsemen revealed the final sculpts for Wave 5
of the 6" Mini-Statue line, as well as some upcoming
exclusives, and a new 14" statue!
Wave 5 will see the release of a resculpted Evil-Lyn,
Sssqueeze and Rio Blast!
There will also be an AFX exclusive repaint of King
Randor, that comes with a shield instead of his staff
and a new furry cape!
Plus there will be an exclusive Kobra Khan
station with a yet-to-be-revealed retailer.
The Four Horsemen also revealed the 6th statue, which is a
new sculpt of He-Man!
Check out the images of what's to come!

noticed.

Preorder your Secret of the Sword DVD variant - Limited
to only 1000 copies worldwide! And only available through
us! We really don't expect to sell out at Wizard World.
But a lot of you have expressed concern that it may happen,
and you won't be able to get one because you aren't attending
the convention.
So just to make sure that doesn't happen, we're going to go
ahead and offer presales to fans everywhere so we know how
many to set aside.
If you are attending Wizard World Chicago, you do not
need to preorder. We will have plenty at the show. You can
still preorder it if you want, but you won't be able to pick
up a preordered copy at the convention. Preordered copies
will only be shipped at the shipping costs below.
The
SOTS region 1 variant DVDs are extremely limited...
only 1000 copies to be exact.
These DVDs have exclusive packaging inside and out, as well
as exclusive art cards.
The disc content (episodes, special features, etc) is the
same as the regular Best Of She-Ra edition that you can buy
in stores.
This special packaging focuses on the Secret of the Sword
movie contained within, with a special homage cover to the
theatrical poster.
The MSRP is 50.00 each due to the rarity, but we're going
to bite the bullet and offer it up to fans for 35.00
each here on He-man.org and at the convention.
There is no limit to how many you can buy (in case you wanted
more than one).
Shipping
costs are as follows: For US: It's 5.00 (USPS Domestic Priority
+ Delivery Confirmation + Minor handling fee) for the continental
US, Alaska, Hawaii & Puerto Rico.
It's 4.50 for APOs and other military addresses, because they
don't allow for Delivery confirmation on military deliveries.
There is no insurance for domestic orders!
So like any He-Store order, there's a risk of non-delivery. For International: 10.00 for Mexico & Canada 12.00 for the rest of the world, that accepts
USPS Global Priority and Air Parcel Post.
We are not responsible for any customs or tax fees. And sorry,
we cannot legally declare a lesser value for the shipment.
After we receive the DVDs to ship, delivery time will vary
depending on your country. We estimate anywhere from 2 weeks
to 2 months.
This international shipping price includes insurance.
There
is no order tracking for global orders! So like any He-Store
order, there's a risk of non-delivery.
***Please be sure to include 1.00 extra for every
additional copy you order!***
You can read more about why we don't insure domestic orders
or offer international tracking in
this post.
We will be shipping the DVDs all through the month of August.
We're a very small operation, so please have mercy on any
slight delays in shipping.
Payment
methods:
We are only accepting PayPal, money orders or cashier's checks
in USD funds.
For those who don't know, cashier's checks
are checks the bank will draft for you. The funds are guaranteed,
unlike a personal check. For PayPal,
please click on the PayPal button, and send your payment of
35.00 for each DVD plus the correct shipping charge.
Please make sure your shipping info is correct in your PayPal
account, because that's where we'll be sending the order!
We will confirm your payment when received, or we will refund
it if you do not include proper payment and/or delivery information. For Money Order / Cashier's Check,
please send your payment of 35.00 for each DVD plus the correct

PO Box 1870

on a separate piece of paper along with your payment!
Please type this information or print legibly!
We will confirm your payment when received, or we will return
it if you do not include proper payment and/or delivery information.
Remember
with close to 80,000 copies of the Best of He-Man shipped
across North America alone, we don't expect 1000 copies to
last long. So if you are interested, don't delay!
If by some chance we sell out (between preorders and the minimum
quantity reserved for Wizard World),
we will post a notice to that effect and will refund any payments
thereafter.
Thanks for your support of this site and a limited edition
DVD that we're very proud of!

Secret of the Sword is returning to theaters for a
short time!
Entertainment
Rights has passed along this press release about the return
of the animated feature film for a short while in select theaters.
Entertainment Rights Plc ("ER"), one of the UK's
leading independent media groups specialising in the ownership
of children's and family programming, characters and brands
announces today an agreement with Kidtoon
Films which will see Secret of the Sword
appear in US movie theatres.
Kidtoon
Films is a leading US children's film distributor and Secret
of the Sword will be screened throughout the US during
May 2006 targeted at weekend children's matinee
slots. The screenings will be supported by a comprehensive
marketing campaign in 25 cities throughout the country including
New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington
DC.
Today's announcement follows the appointment of BCI
Navarre as ER's DVD distributor for She-Ra in the US.
BCI will release the first ever
She-Ra DVD (The Best of She-Ra: Princess of Power)
into the US market in Summer 2006. BCI also successfully distributes
ER's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on DVD in the
US. In excess of 410,000 DVD units (combined sales of
all releases) have been sold since the first He-Man DVD
was released in July 2005.
Additionally, She-Ra will be the first ER brand to be adapted
as short form programming and the repurposing of existing
classic episodes is currently in production as part of an
initial package of 200 shorts.
This follows ER's recent announcement that, in response to
the increased demand for shorter segments of programming suitable
for digital devices, mobiles and downloads, it has commissioned
Magic Lantern to adapt existing programming and create new
content for the rapidly growing digital media market. (More
than likely, this just means wallpapers and snip-its from
classic episodes for download on mobile phones. We here at
He-Man.org wanted to point this out to help avoid speculation
and rumors)
Kathleen Hrick, EVP & MD, US, Canada, Latin America, Entertainment
Rights commented: "She-Ra is a strong, iconic female
character who is recognised around the world. This exciting
activity is the first step towards repositioning the She-Ra
brand. The cinema release coupled with the DVD release and
the introduction of digital short form programming opens up
further opportunities for the She-Ra brand across music, live
events and consumer products."
