Product Description:

Though it aired for only two seasons, the classic 1980s cartoon series HE-MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE remains a nostalgic favorite of anyone who grew up in the Reagan era. Originally created to sell a line of action figures, the syndicated series transcended its toy-tie-in roots with imaginative storytelling, hand-drawn animation, and an adroit blend of action, fantasy, and science-fiction.

The series follows the mythical adventures of a mild-mannered royal whose magic sword transforms him into a loinclothed, Prince Valiant-coiffed muscleman known as He-Man, the most powerful being in the universe. Together with a loyal band of followers--including his pet tiger, Cringer; his man-at-arms, Duncan; the beautiful captain of the guards, Teela; a cloaked floating magician, Orko; and his winged mentor, Sorceress--He-Man fights to protect the magically-powered Castle Greyskull from the evil clutches of his skull-faced nemesis, Skeletor, who presides over his own army of supervillains. This collection presents the first 33 episodes of the second season.
