REVIEWS
"A solid spate of extras... We've offered plenty of praise to these sets in the past, and rightfully so... BCI went the extra mile to give consumers their moneys' worth. In the end that's what is really great about these sets, they know that the fans are their main audience and they appeal directly to them. Grade 9 out of 10. IGN EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD!"

"BCI Eclipse’s Ink & Paint studio is putting out some of the best DVD sets on the market, period. Regardless of whether you’re talking about television or film releases, these sets are absolutely fantastic. As a long time fan of He-Man, I don't think anyone could possibly ask for anything more from these beautifully (and lovingly) crafted sets. Grade A+"
