From He-Man.org:

BCI Eclipse has released the cover image and Extra Feature details for Volume One of the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe cartoon produced by Mike Young Productions!
Each episode will include the original moral segments! (never seen on Cartoon Network)
Other extra features (which are subject to change) include:

  • ”World of He-Man” Documentary
  • He-Man Heroes Still Gallery
  • Never before seen Heroes Sketch Gallery
  • Audio Commentary on 5 episodes with director Gary Hartle, Story Editor Dean Stefan and
    writer Larry DiTillio. Moderated by Ian Richter
  • Three commentaries have extended discussions after the episode ends and have been shot in High Definition
  • Animatics of the first 3 Episodes
  • 2007 San Diego Comic-Con He-Man Panel
  • Scripts for eps 1-13 (DVD-Rom)
  • 8 Page Episode Guide booklet
  • 2 Masters of the Universe Collectible art cards by acclaimed comic book artists Ben Templesmith and Dustin Nguyen
  • Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) – Digital Stereo

There will apparently be a Blu-Ray release, but it will be delayed because they are working on some features that will take advantage of the format, but are not close enough to completion on just yet. Details on that are forthcoming.

The release breakdown is as follows:

  • Volume 1 – February 19, 2008
  • Volume 2 – April 2008 (projected date)
  • Volume 3 – Summer 2008 (sounds like more of a guess than a projection)

Volume 1 is already up for pre-order on Amazon here.
