Expected to ship in Spring/Summer 2023. Ships to Most Locations Worldwide, shipping free in the United States and will retail for $499."Masters of the Universes BATTLE CAT! We have been working on this figure for a long time now, making sure that we give collectors something that is truly special. This will be the first ever time that a 1/6 scale Battle Cat has been released and it is absolutely massive, at about 18 inches in length (basically the size of a house cat). After releasing many Masters of the Universe figures throughout the years, Battle Cat feels like the culmination of it all, the biggest moment in this line. The sheer magnitude of releasing a figure like this is not lost on us. An 18-inch-long, fully articulated Battle Cat with swappable heads and completely removable armor!? Crazy! Well, yeah, it's crazy. But sometimes it takes a little crazy to do something special, and we truly believe we have made one of the coolest Battle Cats of all time.

Once we decided to take this project on, we reached out to the guy who knows MOTU better than no other Emiliano Santalucia. Emiliano ran with all our ideas and direction, turning in some beautiful concept art (as seen below). Once we had an approved concept, we had to find a sculptor who would be up to the task of bringing this figure to life. So, of course, we turned to Matt Black for the initial sculpting and then Tommy Hodges to handle all the articulation, engineering and additional sculpting. You can see the final render below. After sculpting was completed and 3D-printed, we turned to Mark Bristow to handle painting duties. We debuted the paint master at San Diego Comic Con 2022, this past summer, and it blew everyone one away. Once prototyped, we sent it over to Raul Barrero to work his magic with the photography. The results are stunning.When we started this project one thing was clear: we had to honor the history of this amazing and iconic character. This figure not only pays homage to the amazing design of the original figure from the 80s, but also celebrates Battle Cats rich history.This figure wouldnt exist without the amazing work put into this character, over the decades. We are so excited to add to that history and bring you the biggest Battle Cat to date the one we all imagined as kids, when we were playing with the original figure, leading him into battle against all the threatened Eternia. You have the Power!"

$500 bucks is one hell of an adoption fee...

It is, but Mondo also charges around $250 for their MOTU figures. Battle Cat is at least twice as big. I kind of get it.

If you're an absolute MOTU completist across several lines, you have some rough terrain ahead of you lol.

I'm content dabbling with Origins myself.

Mondo has released another preview image for their upcoming Masters Of The Universe 1/6 Scale Battle Cat figure which they say will cost $499 plus free shipping. This will be made available starting on 10/25/22 where they will also be offering a regular edition 1/6 scale Deluxe He-Man figure.If you are a MOTU fan it looks like this month your wallets are about to get punched like He-Man's fist would hit Skeletor. Later today Mattel will be launching their $600 crowdsourcing Origins New Eternia playset on the MattelCreations website.

You would think these companies might communicate with each other a little better and maybe space out the release of these big-priced items a little better, but what the hell it's only money right?
