In the February 2008 issue of ToyFare
Magazine #126 a He-Fan asks ToyFare about
the possibility of seeing the rare Snake Armor
He-Man in mini-statue form.
Cornboy of the Four
Horsemen stated that such a mini-statue
was a great idea and a definite possibility.
Cornboy also revealed that the He-Man
prototype seen in the Mattel display case
as this past 2007 San Diego Comic con was part
of a pitch they had made, and Mattel snuck it
into the case to gauge fan response. No word
if anything is being done in regards to that
prototype.
Check
out issue #126 of ToyFare for exactly what was
said!

In
regards to a Blu-Ray release, a BCI rep has
said on the forums that "The Blu-Ray will
not be coming out at the same time. We have
some features that take advantage of the BR
tech and they are going to take longer to produce.
We don't have a street date for that one yet."

Mini-Bust. While NECA
hasn't confirmed a date for them, Top Secret Toys
had this bit of news to report:
"I was told by NECA yesterday while I was

are currently in production in China, and we should
get them shortly. An exact date was not given,
but at least we have a confirmation that they
are in fact being produced and are coming out." Check

Earlier
this year, Brazil's
Focus Filmes had announced the DVD releases
of the Masters of the Universe Season 1 Volume
1 box set as well as The Best of She-Ra. There
was also a special
collector's set that contained both releases
in a metal box, along with some extras such as
an exclusive poster and T-shirt.
Since
then, Focus Filmes has gone on to release He-Man's
Season 1 Volume 2, She-Ra's Season 1 Volume 1
and, most recently, She-Ra's Season 1 Volume 2.
The newest releases are being advertised on the
front
page of Focus Filmes' site.
She-Ra fans may be interested to know that Play.com
have four new T-Shirts available
on their site. The shirts are priced at £11.99
each (free shipping to select countries), and are
available in black, light blue, pink and white.
Please refer to their Delivery
Policy for the list of countries they currently
deliver to.

Filmmaker Kaare Andrews, who is also known as a comic book
writer and artist (Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man), wants to
take a crack at He-Man on the movie-front. Over on IESB.net
"The Movie Reporter", Kaare sent in a pitch, in
the form of a self-funded video presentation, to give everyone
an idea of his vision for the property. Check
it out! And
click here to see what other fans have to say on our forums! Important to note: This is not an official
movie trailor, nor is it something in production. This is
just a grassroots pitch from a prominent comic creator.
Update:
Kaare Andrews explained to He-Man.org the purpose of this
clip:
"This is a kind of conceptual piece for a live action
film. This is a new technology I call Go-Cons or 'animated
conceptual paintings' and represents the tone and scope
of the world, not the actual end product. It was pulled
together in a little over a week with a small (but talented)
team. Just imagine this as an epic live action feature with
a budget and full team."

Full-length episodes of the classic He-Man and She-Ra cartoons
are now available through Babelgum!
Back
in June of 2007, Babelgum, a free on-demand TV over the
internet provider, announced that they had signed deals
with 25 independent content providers for use on their Babelgum
beta platform. One of these providers was Entertainment
Rights who owns the entertainment rights for He-Man and
She-Ra.
Initially
it was unclear which shows from the Entertainment Rights
library would be appearing on the site and when. However,
this past August saw several episodes of He-Man and She-Ra
added to the line-up!
You
can watch these episodes for free. Give it a try! All you
have to do is download
the Babelgum beta platform and follow the instructions.
Please check their minimum system requirements before doing
so.

TvShowsOnDVD.com reports that the first DVD set of the 2002
Mike Young Productions' "He-Man and the Masters of
the Universe" could see a February 2008
release. The series would be split over 3 sets, each containing
13 episodes in anamorphic widescreen presentation.
Originally
slated for a January 2008 release (as indicated by the Mattel
panel at San Diego Comic-Con this past summer), the release
was pushed back a bit due to the fact that BCI Eclipse has
tons of work to do on the production for the features. BCI
Eclipse and Mattel, who have a very close working relationship
on these sets, do not want to rush through the process.
Their goal is to outdo all of the classic DVD releases.
And
speaking of features, word is that these sets are going
to be jam-packed with extras. Apparently Mattel has a lot
of content to provide! It definitely sounds like it's going
to be a big event. Some early advertisements have even begun
to show up, including one on the inside front cover of the
July
2007 digital edition of Agent DVD Magazine.
The art shown inside is not the official cover art for the
DVD. It's still too early for BCI Eclipse to release the
cover art.
In
other related news of interest, representatives for BCI
Eclipse have stated that they're exploring the idea of releasing
the 2002 "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe"
sets on high-definition Blu-ray Disc, seeing as how there
was a marked improvement in quality during their tests.
There's a 90% plus chance that it will happen. Discussions
for HD DVD versions are also underway.

In their most recent Interim
Results for 2007 entertainment rights holder "Entertainment
Rights" reported that Mobile TV is a strong growth
market for their company, and that Arena has picked up the
mobile rights to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Presumably this is going to be short-form programming (short
clips of classic episodes) that can be downloaded. For several
months now, they've had similar agreements in place for
She-Ra and Bravestarr through Player
X.
