Isis episodes included on new Filmation DVD set

Monday, June 9th, 2008

BCI/Eclipse, the company that has been putting a lot of the Filmation library (Ark II, Isis, Space Academy, etc…) on DVD, has started to put together low cost, themed compilation DVD sets featuring episodes of various Filmation series that have been already released on DVD.

The first compilation, Superheroes Vol. 1, was released in May and combined episodes of Filmation’s late 70’s Flash Gordon series with episodes of Defenders of the Earth, a mid 80’s cartoon from King Features that featured Flash Gordon as one of the members of the titular group.

In August, they will be releasing three more compilations. The first release, Heroes and Heroines, comes out August 5th and includes the first eight episodes of Isis, as well as all five episodes of Freedom Force, an animated series featuring Isis. The set also includes the full run of two other Filmation animated action series, Blackstar and Space Sentinels. When all of the shows were released separately as complete sets on DVD, each set featured extras (interviews, commentary tracks, etc…), but neither BCI’s or Amazon’s page say whether any bonus features are included on this (or any other) set.

Box Set

A week later, the other two sets will be released, including a second volume of Superheroes,, featuring the second seasons of Flash Gordon and The Defenders of the Earth, and Frightfully Funny Collection Volume 1, which features episodes of the Groovie Goolies and Ghostbusters, the 80’s animated sequel to the live action Ghost Busters series from the 70’s.
