Looks like He-Man will be getting his trusty sidekick in battle for the MOTU Classics line – Battle Cat! Check out pics of He-Man riding his best friend after the break. Wow – that didn’t sound right.

MOTU Classics Battlecat and He-Man
YAY!~
He looks awesome! Thanks for the pictures!!! I can't wait!
Damn! Looks awesome. I wonder if Battlecat is going to be one of the normal releases.
I was hoping that he'd be bigger.
Nice kitty.
Makes you wonder how far they are going to go with the MOTUC thing, will we get Castles?
Battle Cat.....Hell Yeah!
They better make a Panthor!
*Hidden bonus in picture* - It looks like we will be getting a Zoar also!
Seeing Panthor down the line is a given. any Chance we'll be seeing King Grayskull's Battle Lion down the line?
Battlecat is so spectacularly-outstandingly-amazingly-phenomanaly-AWESOME that I think I just wet myself a little! and the strap on the side to hold the sword is a nice touch too...
You know, as much as I want to say how awesome this is, he still looks like a brick to me, I mean I don't except him to have tons of poseability, and there does seem like he will have some, but I dunno, just screams brick.
I couldn't have said it better.
The strap on the side to hold the sword? I didnt see that...where is it?
on the right side of BC's saddle, infront of he-mans foot.
So far, I'm quite impressed. I'm also curious about the mass release vs. web exclusive issue, especially if it means He-Man gets rereleased as a co-sell.
I wonder what the neck and shoulder articulation are like. I'm hoping he had a side-to-side for his front legs, since cats don't normall swipe at you with an up-down motion. It's usually in the form of a right hook (or left, if your cat's a southpaw).
Battle Cat will be a definite purchase for me as I'll have the opportunity later in the year to pick up a re-issue He-Man figure to accompany it. WIN!
It looks like we will get to see Battle Cat soon!
Here's an update from MattyCollector:
We also got early samples of Battle Cat in package in. Have a bit of an issue that his mask is falling off in package. We're doing everything we can to fix this before the full production is finished. He'll come in a box with a blister back (similar to the original toy) so worst case is the box can be opened without damage to slide the mask back on. But we'll do all we can to avoid this!
As soon as we have a better sample we'll post it for all to see.
Ill be honest I never liked these retro style figures they just look pretty lame compared to the masters of the universe horsemen figures that were from the new show so much more detail...honestly these re-hatches are just boring simple and blocky...
Looking sweet!
I still have my original Cringer in storage (he lost his armor a long time ago
).
the original line will allways be the greatest in my eyes,I loved the 80's mini-comics and box-art and the classics figs are fantastic superposeable 3d renditions of the designs of that era.
and now we see in-package pics of battlecat and he is... BREATHTAKING!
That looks AWESOME
Very impressive. Looks like he'll have some articulation, as oppose to the brick that was the original.
Feel free to like what you like, but there is a huge market for these with people who had the originals as kids, like myself
oh yeah dont get me wrong I grew up with the originals as well and I wont knock the collectors who like them I think its just I liked the more details sculpts and looks of later lines lol
See the new Battle Cat pictures on the Action Figure Times (about the half way on the page).
Looks pretty nice!
