If the asshats at Classic Media hadn't been so Godzilladamn greedy, spacing the H-B series' 26 episodes out over what would have been 6 friggin' volumes(!) then they might not have done so poorly! *SIGH* They should have offered the complete series in a compact boxed set for $30 or less. They almost certainly would have sold better as a complete set. Instead, they threw fans under the proverbial bus by SLOWLY releasing a paltry handful of shows at a time, at an overly inflated price. The show is too crude and old school to attract that many new viewers, and fans like myself just kept on waiting and waiting (and WAITING) for the other half of the series or else a box set that, sadly, simply never materialized. Feh! A pox on the boneheads at Classic Media! A pox I say!!!
While I despise GINO in every way, I understand that the cartoon was more in the spirit of the Toho version. I dunno, I never saw a single episode. Even so, once this has been out for a while, I'll probably pick it up used & cheap on Amazon.
Oops! Fixed.
