Oh shoot really bro? I didn't know that! Busta worked on that blu set. He must have snuck that illegal episode in there!

 

LMAO: That brings to my mind this visual where James hopped on an airplane, went to Germany, and broke into their Studios where the contents and menus were created so that he could sneak his own fan animation onto the Blu-ray discs. Laugh Skeletor2  

 

 

Sadly the PLAION "Eternia Collection" was their shop-exclusive. They sold their main stock back in Dec.2022 and then the remaining leftover stock got sold in June 2023. Currently there doesn't seem to be any plans that more would be made, though fingers crossed.

if they had no problem selling out both times and it's not a limited edition, it sounds like it would be a great business decision to make another batch of them.

I think the second run took a bit longer to sell out, so it could be that the cost of producing the packaging etc that goes with it may not be worth the risk of being left with a bunch unsold.

@daavid What percentage of their buyers can understand German? I would be curious to learn how many purchased this set for the collectible books and packaging and how many purchased it solely to obtain their favourite series in high definition. A smaller disc only set too could be a sales winner.

That could definitely work! The fact that they have the series converted to hi-def it would be such a shame if they didn't find a way to offer it to everyone who missed out on the original box set. 

I wonder what the legal situation around providing Return of Faker in an English box for an English Market would be? Would be awesome if everything could be retained!

I have the complete series from BCI and Mill Creek, plus I have it on Vudu streaming, so I don't really feel the need for an expensive import that might not play on my American blu-ray players.  I would totally buy an American release on Blu-Ray if it were released though, even if just technically standard definition.

I hope Return of Faker gets completed (with me and other in it) soon as well as the documentary.  It is taking way longer than I expected even with the covid issues.

I have reached out on the Kickerstarter page a couple of times over the last few years and the main guy in charge, Rob, basically said, we'll get to it when we get to it, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence. I might try again.  I don't really do social media, so haven't contacted James directly.  Maybe, if I knew his e-mail, I would.

This is a good question mate. James Eatock has no ownership of the characters and show he recreated and cannot profit from it. If the owners profit from it does James have to be paid for his work?

@disneyboy DreamWorks wouldn't have come after him if he did his own animation style and voicework. Mattel neither probably. It just would of been considered a fan film.

One thing to note. Mattel never came after James in regards to "The Return of Faker". That's all on NBCUniversal/Dreamworks.

@jukka I presume they never heard the phrase "Team work makes the dream work".

LMAO

It's just absurd overall. James is and was not making any profit from this fan project.

NBCUniversal was aware of it, as James did showcase it during a couple of years at Power-Con, as it all was taking shape. Then, when it was about to be finished and shown at Power-Con, NBC sent him a C&D at the last minute. Shocked He-Man

@jukka It's awful to think about but I wonder if someone at NBC was tipped off.

@jukka Why did NBC wait until the last second to threaten him if they knew about it the whole time that he was working on it?
