Sampo posted it on Satellite News this mourning! --------- And we are pleased to be able to reveal the episodes that will be included in Vol. XX from Shout Factory. No street date yet, but I assume it will be some time in the first quarter of 2011.
Departing from the “two Joel/two Mike” paradigm, it’s an all-Joel set with:
• 109- PROJECT MOONBASE (with shorts: Commando Cody, parts 7 & 8) • 322- MASTER NINJA I • 324- MASTER NINJA II • 505- MAGIC VOYAGE OF SINBAD
(Let the choruses of “MASTER NINJA THEME SONG” commence.) --------------- Me: I am stunned, I had a feeling Project Moonbase was going to come out eventually, and with Jack Frost on Vol 18 it was only a matter of time before we got more Russo-Finnish episodes like Sinbad.
But BOTH MASTER NINJA 1 and 2?! WOW!!
This is a major coup by Shout Factory. Alot of fans like the Master Ninja episodes (Myself, I like part 2 more than 1, but both are fun episodes) Plus anything outside of Fu Manchu for Season 3 was thought to be difficult if not impossible but Shout Factory came through.
I'm shocked they went all Joel, but getting both Master Ninja's must have caused them to bump the 2 Mike episodes off this set for later from what B Ward said before.
But this set is great, I really love Magic Voyage of Sinbad, Moonbase is good for a Season 1, and I already said how I feel about the Master Ninja's
Way to go Shout Factory!

WOW!!! Totally blind-sided by both MASTER NINJA episodes! ;D I can't wait to see who Shout snagged those from. Really great to see another Corinth Films title and SINBAD!

I'm not sure if I can fully express how excited I am to see BOTH the Master Ninjas getting officially released. Really though, every single episode on this set is great. I'm a little behind on the newer DVD collections, but I might even preorder this one.
This really makes me wonder what XXI is going to be, seeing how Brian Ward hyped it.

This is one of the best sets I've seen in a long, long time. Both Master Ninjas? What a stunner! That completely makes up for the fact that I don't like Magic Voyage that much.
Awesome set. Keep up the good work, Shout!

Oh hell yes. Loves me some Master Ninja. And it's the first time Season 3's been dipped into since Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, so this is a good sign of things to come!

Very excited to see that one of my Top 3 episodes ("Magic Voyage of Sinbad") is coming to DVD! Never seen "Project Moonbase", but who doesn't like the "Master Ninja" episodes?
My only complaint--and it's a minor one--is that we don't get our usual Joel/Mike split. I'd almost have preferred that they'd separated the "Master Ninja" eps and put Part 2 on the next set, and give us at least ONE Mike episode (then they would kind of achieve some balance from the 20th Anniversary edition, where they had a 3:1 ratio in favor of Mike).
But whatever....this one looks great!

I was sure Slime People would be the next season 1 release. Oh well, perhaps XXI will add it.

Awesome. Even their season 1 selection is a great episode. I like that Shout! isn't afraid to shake things up a bit with an all Joel release.

Wow! Both Master Ninjas and a Russo-Finnish film. Fantastic. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I remember Project Moonbase being good for an S1 episode.
Funny, I've actually been thinking about Master Ninja a lot lately, since I've been seeing Tim Van Patten's name on the HBO show Boardwalk Empire as an Executive Producer/Director/Co-Writer. Wonder if he's going to be happy about this release? ;D

Best set yet.
We're actually getting both master ninjas and Sinbad in the same set?
FREAKING AWESOME!
People that haven't seen these yet are in for a treat.

I am totally stunned and oh so happy. I almost jumped up and danced across my living room when I read that both Master Ninjas were in the next set. Project Moonbase is a good 1st season episode with the belittling Dr. Bellows threating to spank a female subordinate just because she's a she. Plus the Magic Voyage of Sinbad to boot.... Just fantastic... Woooo Whooooo !!!

Greatest set ever! I hope Shout can get a Tim Van Patten interview. He directs a ton of stuff for HBO and had done interviews with Jim Rome about the White Shadow many times, so hopefully Shout can nail him down for this!
