Toy Robot releases 4K specs for Masters of the Universe and Guyver 2 on Blu-ray

The Cult Classics Come Back: Arrow Video Unveils Toy Robot

Arrow Video has just launched an exciting new venture dedicated to resurrecting cinematic history, announcing a new division named Toy Robot Video. This initiative is set to bring the magic of cult classics back to life, promising a collection that aims to replicate the wondrous experience of browsing titles at a classic local video store—complete with fabulous new cover artwork, carefully restored film masters, and all the delightful extras fans crave.

This new label isn’t just about remastered visuals; it’s about preserving the legacy. The goal is to package these beloved films with meticulously curated details: colorfully-branded OBI-Strips, art cards, slip cards, and bonus features, all offered at allowance-friendly prices so movie lovers can treat themselves without breaking the bank.

The initial slate of titles coming under the Toy Robot banner is already packed with iconic action and adventure. Fans can look forward to cinematic journeys such as Guyver 2: Dark Hero, the epic clash of Roaring Fire, the legendary adventures of Masters of the Universe, the charming Marshmallow, and the action-packed Ninja Wars.

To give fans a taste of what awaits them, Toy Robot has already unveiled extensive details and specs for some of their upcoming releases. Take the highly anticipated return of an 80s icon, for instance, with Masters of the Universe.

Masters of the Universe (1987) is making its global debut on home video with a stunning UHD 4K upgrade. Beyond the enhanced visuals, Toy Robot is including a never-before-seen preview cut of the film, offering extended scenes and alternate takes. The release is packaged in a deluxe 2-Disc Blu-ray set, boasting options for Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) and DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround sound. This package includes hours of special features, including new interviews with actors like Dolph Lundgren and production designer William Stout, an audio commentary from director Gary Goddard, and a deep dive feature called Behind The Legend.

The story of Eternia’s heroes remains compelling: the wicked Skeletor faces resistance from He-Man, Man-At-Arms, and Teela as they fight for the Cosmic Key. The adventure sees the rebels escaping to Earth, proving that even in the face of universal domination, hope prevails.

Adding another dose of nostalgia is Guyver 2: Dark Hero, the sequel to the original alien martial arts classic. This action-packed feature marks the worldwide Blu-ray debut, offering both the original 1994 version and an enhanced cut featuring newly added special effects. The narrative thrust follows Sean Barker as he battles the Zoanoids while uncovering ancient archaeological secrets in Utah, tying intergalactic conflict to earthly discovery.

This sequel is rich with exclusive content for dedicated viewers, including three new audio commentaries—one with director Steve Wang—extensive behind-the-scenes footage, archival making-of documentaries, and photo galleries filled with sketches.
