Buzz-Off's Pride

Great nostalgic trip back to Eternia for children of the 80's.
I bought this under the ruse of wanting to share some of my childhood with my son; in reality, I wanted it for myself. I love this show, with all its cheesy details and reused animation sequences. Two things I love about the He Man empire (TV show, toys, etc): 1) The cartoon is/was very bold in explaining the differences between right and wrong (something that is all but lost in 21st century America) and 2) it was sheer genius from a business point of view! Cartoons were filmed on a shoestring with "repurposed" character likenesses and reused animation sequences. The toy line was also genius for many of these same reasons. For example, Stinkor and Mer-man were basically the same action figure with different paint--genius.
Season 2 is great because we're introduced (or re-introduced) to many new characters such as Robot, Buzz-off, Mekaneck, Clawful, Two Bad, Spikor, Webstor, Fisto, and the list goes on and on. I love these DVDs and I WILL share them with my son when he gets...

The Eternian Struggle: Good vs. Evil
Like quite a few other reviews have also stated, I, too grew up with this cartoon. I buy cartoon DVD's on a fairly consistent basis for my own enjoyment and when He-Man became available in all it's glory I purchased it. I have Season One by another company, BCI, and I purchased Season Two by this company, Classic Media/Mill Creek Entertainment. I may purchase Mill Creek's Season One simply because they don't split up the episode, "House of Shokoti", on two separate DVD discs like the BCI release does.

But this review is about Mill Creek's Season Two release which I have. There are 8 disc's...the first 7 contain episodes of the series while the 8th is the Extra features disc. As mentioned in another review the discs are housed in paper sleeves...stacked one after the other...which causes one to have to rummage through the discs whenever you want to grab a particular one. The disc I find myself watching the most are Disc's 1 and 4 through 6. I watch disc 7 on occasion but it...

Grandkids
My two boys loved this show when they were little. I spotted one at a store for $5 and decided to buy it for my grandsons. The boys are 4yrs old (twins) and a 7yr old. They absolutely loved it! I looked on Amazon for any more videos and found this second season, they watch it all the time. Their dad (my son) brought out the old figures he had of He man and they love them.
