Really generous of Jerry to even say that given that he is going to be trying to sell the Mixed Media one first but that's just how nice he is. With products that have this kind of a time line for turnaround and price nothing is ever really confirmed until you see it and even then who knows just like with the Chun-Li diorama. He has not said anything specifically about He-Man riding Battle-Cat.
Even with He-Man riding Battle-Cat there are some images so iconic that many fans would want both. I mean I want them a riding dio but no way I could pass up his sword held high from the transformation sequence.
For my own wishes I would love it if Jerry would use the same sculpt from the earlier He-Man to create different poses. He could do Prince Adam in the same pose with a switch out arm pulling out the sword from behind and holding it up right before he says "By the Power of Grayskull" just like the previous Filmation statue.
I would buy them all. To be honest I don't think the license for the line can survive for years to come only on secondary characters yet to be released. There is a demand for the flagship characters and so variations are perfectly justified.

The cost would be more but boy I'd love him on that bone thrown.

I don't think a single product's price could support 3 different display options.
When Jerry first got the license he posted a poll between 4 different He-Man images from straight Filmation to more customized ultra realistic He-Man. The 2nd choice was the winner. It was straight Filmation with realistic touches like more boot fur detail, shading, deeper cuts, etc. It looked like the Filmation designs brought into the real world.
My ideal dream would be for He-Man riding Battle-Cat and Skeletor on his bone throne to be companion centerpices done in the same very true Filmation yet realistic style. That would give us very true Filmation styles in the usual 1/4, a custom realistic He-Man in the Mixed Media lineand then a 3rd option for blend.
He has mentioned doing 1/3 Filmation which I would love to be these dios but I understand that would probably be far too large for most people.
I would prefer the Filmation riding He-Man and Skeletor Bone Throne dios over 1/3s.
