With Mattel's new line of He-Man toys hitting the streets, a new He-Man animated series on the Cartoon Network (see 'He-Man Is Back In Cartoons'), and a He-Man comic from Image in the works (see 'Image Bulks Up With He-Man Comic'), the time is right for DVD editions of the classic He-Man cartoon series.  At the He-Man Panel at this year's San Diego Comic-Con International, a spokesman for Mattel announced that DVD editions were in the works for both the original series and the new He-Man animated show that debuts later this month (August 16) on the Cartoon Network.

 

Given the strength that retro properties have shown in the comic market in recent months (see 'Retro Influence Grows On Top Comic Sellers'), DVDs of classic He-Man episodes could be a useful addition to the product lines at many pop culture stores.
