BONUS FEATURES: never-before-seen pilot/demo reel on-camera interview with series creator Robert Mandell select episode audio commentary with Robert Mandell, story editor Christopher Rowley and voice talent Henry Mandell original music tracks and "No Guts, No Glory" music video recreated slideshow of the vintage talking storybook "Tortuna, The Outlaw Planet" 32-page "Visual Guide to Characters" collectible booklet A cult favorite among fans of '80s-era TV animation, The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers combined anime-influenced artwork with elements of traditional science fiction adventure and Western shoot-em-ups. Jerry Orbach ( Law and Order ) voiced the show's hero, Zachary Foxx, who led the technologically and genetically advanced Galaxy Rangers against the evil Queen of the Crown and her minions. Action in each episode is plentiful, though one of the keys to the show's popularity was the relative maturity of the scripts, which did not shy from exploring real emotions (such as the fate of Foxx's wife after her capture by the Queen) or some genuinely menacing villains, like the lethal alien creature dubbed "Scarecrow" by Galaxy Ranger Shane Gooseman. The show's animation, created by the acclaimed Tokyo Movie Shinsha (now called TMS Entertainment) in Japan, was highly influenced by the anime of the period, which also contributed to its appeal among older fans (however, the quality of the animation varies from episode to episode due to different teams working on different stories). Add to this the fine vocal work by Orbach and others, and the result is a weekly American animated series from the 1980s that holds up remarkably well for current audiences. Thirty-two of the series' 65 episodes are featured on this four-disc set, which is nicely supplemented by a 30-minute interview with creator Robert Mandell. Over the course of the featurette, he discusses the influence of other animated shows on Galaxy Rangers (including his own Thunderbirds 2086 and TMS' Space Cobra ) as well as the challenges of farming out the animation to Japan and then using ADR to dub the footage. Mandell is also featured in commentaries on four episodes, where he's joined by his brother Henry (a voice-over artist on the show) and story editor Christopher Rowley. The real finds among the extras are the original pilot, which differs slightly from the series' first episode in both story and voice talent, as well as a recreation of one of the show's tie-in storybook audio cassettes. A jukebox feature offers videos of the show's pop-rock theme songs as well as three library tracks used in subsequent episodes. --Paul Gaita Review: Galaxy Rangers - Ho! - The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was a show ahead of its time - it had *real* writers (Christopher Rowley and Bryan Daley to name just two of them) doing the stories and the stories they wrote were *not* fluff. The show was written and pitched without having the toy deal in place - unlike He-Man which was the toy first then a cartoon to support the toys. Then, it was lost to us fans in the states. The tapes became all but impossible to find here - but the fans didn't give up. We're quiet, but we're here and when we got word that this project was *finally* in the works we were skeptical - having heard that line before. This time, it's happening. Having seen the cleaned up video - all I can say is **wow.** It was sovibrant and crystal clear! I'm breathless with anticipation in seeing the rest of the series in surround sound digital audio and the cleaned up video. Galaxy Rangers is truly one fo the lost treasures in terms of 80's cartoons with its stories and strong characters. The thing that makes it stand out from so many other cartoons is that the female member of the team is *not* a token character - she more than pulls her weight when it comes to either hand to hand combat with the bad guys or using her considerable pyschic talents to pull the team's fat out of the fire. The cartoon has withstood the test of time with its quality animation and superbly written stories. I highly recommend this show for anyone looking for a quality cartoon to watch with their kids. It's written so that the whole family can watch this. As for Sir Robert's hope to do a direct-to-DVD movie.... Wow! I would be first in line to buy that! :) Review: The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers NO GUTS! NO GLORY! - (What does BETA stand for, and what is BETA?) BETA stands for Bureau of Extra Terrestrial Affairs. Moreover, BETA is like our United Nations here on earth; inclusively, its members are from different "other worldly" cultures as well. (What are the Galaxy Rangers?) They are a para-police or para-military law enforcement organization based upon the past lore and glory of the Texas Rangers. More importantly, they are the enforcers/peacekeepers of BETA. (Who are the Galaxy Rangers?) Their is a special segment of the Ranger Corps that utilizes a cranial device that enhances their individual and personal attributes. These Rangers are: Zachery Foxx, Shane Gooseman, Niko (the only woman on the team), Dr. Walter Hartford, Waldo Zeptic (an Andorian), and Zozo (a Kiwi). (How was this series produced?) INITIALLY, it was decided that this entire production would not be associated with a toy line; in fact, I only saw them on a child's lunch box being offered at a grocery wholesaler where I often shopped back in the late 80's. MOREOVER, unlike other animations of the 1980's, the artwork was rendered first. Then, the voice actors were flown to Japan to do the sound recordings. As a base of reference, they viewed the artwork first which guided their recordings. This technique was a vast improvement in the production of later animations. LASTLY, in 1983 to 1986 dollars, the entire production cost $65 million dollars or $1 million dollars per episode. (How well did I enjoy this series?) When they first aired in the autumn of 1986, I would wake up every weekday morning at 5 am in order to watch them at 5:30 am. To me the Rangers were very special; I've been a devotee ever since. (Is this purchase worth your money?) If you like the military, special forces, and "other worldly" cultures, along with a mixture of merriment ;then, you shall like/enjoy this production. Also, this production had one of the hottest sound tracks ever recorded, which some of the tracks have been included with this offer. Purchase both volumes, you won't be disappointed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Bob Bottone, Doug Preis, Earl Hammond, Hubert Kelly, Jerry Orbach, Laura Dean, Maia Danziger, Robert Mandell Contributor Bob Bottone, Doug Preis, Earl Hammond, Hubert Kelly, Jerry Orbach, Laura Dean, Maia Danziger, Robert Mandell See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 204 Reviews | | Format | Animated, Box set, Color, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Genre | Action & Adventure | | Language | English | | Number Of Discs | 4 | ## Images ![Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, the - Volume 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZgvEP-hBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Galaxy Rangers - Ho! *by L***O on October 4, 2004* The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was a show ahead of its time - it had *real* writers (Christopher Rowley and Bryan Daley to name just two of them) doing the stories and the stories they wrote were *not* fluff.

This series is more interesting than its peers of the time, it is not up to modern standards but it is still very worth your time if you are ok with watching older animation. But this show was actually farmed out to Japan (one of the first I believe) so the animation is also better than the average show of the time and has anime touches to it. Beware they were trying to get a toy line going so that they would not cancel the show so they had to do some campy episodes and believe they are very campy, but when they have plot driving episodes they are awesome.. Hopefully someone will pick this up and make a new cartoon series with as much love and budget as the Justice League or the spectacular spiderman. The potential is definitely there and Firefly just further proved that space cowboys is a concept that is appealing and works, they just need to put more complexity to the characters already there to be more in line with modern cartoons (sorry, I do not count spongebob, johnny test or any of the current half drawn half scripted garbage they make kids watch these days). Do not skip this one, if you are short on cash rent it but I would strongly suggest you buy this it is a classic you will want both volumes in your collection. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11626002-adventures-of-the-galaxy-rangers-the-volume-1](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/11626002-adventures-of-the-galaxy-rangers-the-volume-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
