He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is out on Region 2 DVDs (5 volumes). Here's some info about Volume 1 from a review on the UK site for Amazon --
Episodes: The Cosmic Comet The Shaping Staff Disappearing Act Diamond Ray of Disappearance She-Demon of Phantos Teela's Quest
Extra Features: Fan Commentary Tracks on "Diamond Ray of Disappearance" and "Teela's Quest" Character Profile: He-Man Fan Art Gallery Production Gallery Series Bible as DvD-Rom Content
But, I did not find She-Ra or Jason of Star Command or Isis (I have pretty good tapes of Isis - hooray!). And, Star Trek: TAS is coming to DVD pretty soon according to TVShowsonDVD.

Thing is, many of these titles are not owned by Filmation--they were just hired to produce the shows. This is why Paramount controls Star Trek, Cosby controls Fat Albert, etc.
I imagine in many cases the original negatives still reside with the rest of the library, however. This could be the reason why the Fat Albert footage used in TV ads for the VHS tapes looks so dull and grainy. (I haven't seen the DVDs so I don't know if this was corrected.)

They are boxed, excellently packaged, and the picture has been digitally remastered. The complete set looks great! I bought them as soon as they came out. Hopefully they'll release more episodes.

He-Man & The Master of the Universe and She-Ra would be must buys to add to my tv on dvd library. These shows would help me revisit some of my most earliest memories of youth. I sure hope they come in season sets one day!

I already knew about the UK releases, but since I don't have a region free player, they're pretty much no use to me. lol. Besides, if it were to become available in region 1, I'd be hoping for season sets.......or at least 1/2 season sets. But at this point, I'll take whatever they throw at us, even if it is only 5 episodes per disc.

I hope that any eventual Region 1 releases are a lot less like the single-disc releases from England that Tony Case is showing, and much more like the box sets that are available in France! She-Ra, He-Man.

I'm looking forward to the older Filmation shows like more Archies, Sabrina, and the Groovie Ghoolies (There is an episode of Sabrina available that contains the Groovie Ghoolies). Also, it would be great to revisit the old superhero Filmation cartoons like Batman, Superman, Aquaman and the rest, as well as their live action shows like Shazaam! and Mighty Isis. A whole library exists from Filmation and I'm surprised no one has yet to release its main core.
