IMPRINT NEW AVENGERS

New release: Imprint recently announced their upcoming Blu-ray release of The New Avengers! Spy Vibers who have been collecting the distributor's sets, such as The Avengers, The Prisoner, Captain Scarlet, and Department S, might enjoy seeing the cohesive design range continue on their shelves. Imprint has been doing a nice job putting out the cool TV shows we love with an added cool visual vibe! Those who have already purchased the recent UK Blu-ray or 4K editions are probably set, but do check out the details and compare. Imprint's edition is due out March 26th. I don't see 4K plans as yet. More info at Imprint and Blu-Ray. Spy Vibers in the US can order from Diabolik DVD and Orbit DVD. 

From the press release: Don your finest bowler hat and get your pistol at the ready. The Avengers are back in this spectacular sequel series THE NEW AVENGERS! Original series creators Brian Clements and Albert Fennell returned to fill our screens with two more series of high-stakes espionage capers, with Patrick Macnee returning as John Steed, and newcomers Gareth Hunt as Mike Gambit and Joanna Lumley as Purdey by his side. The trio are out to foil dastardly plots by whatever means necessary, defeating Nazis, mutated animals, sleeper agents, mysterious cults, mechanical killers, and assassins aplenty. 

Fully restored from the original 35mm film negatives, experience all 26 episodes like never before, presented on Blu-ray alongside hours of Special Features. All ten discs are housed in a Limited Edition Hardbox, including a Collector’s Edition Booklet, Collector’s Edition Comic, and a Hardcover Booklet Episode Guide. 1500 copies only.
