I didnt pick up the he man/ battlecat combo but I would be definitely in for a skeletor/ panthor combo so this news is rather unfortunate.

Nothing against sideshow I just prefer the classic designs over the more detailed stuff they have going on.

Could Jerry just reuse the battlecat mold to save on cost for panthor?

Would you guys that already have battlecat be okay with that?

Instant no purchase for me at $800+. Battle-Cat and Panthor aren't MK ninjas.

Of course I would want it to match the style of the current HeMan/BC combo.

Ah I just misunderstood then.

I actually wanted to buy the He-Man and Battlecat but never got around to it. I wonder if there is a way to still order these?

Combine that with factory costs coming in way higher than expected and a lot of other MOTU pieces being released, and I just dont feel confident about Skeletor and Panthor selling at the price they would need to be.
I've bought your 1:1 Lifesize Skeletor Bust, your 1:4 Filmation Skeletor Statue, and the He-Man & Battlecat Combo... REST ASSURE that I'd be buying a mixed media Skeletor and Panthor. I took it for granted that you guys would make a mixed media Skellz & Panthor, since you made He-Man & Battlecat. Now that I'm hearing your having second thoughts, I'm a bit disappointed. Raise the price, make super limited quantities, only sell them as a combo. Whatever.. Do what ever you gotta do. BUT MAKE THEM. They will sell out, and I will be one of those buyers.

The Skeletor/Panthor set was one I really wanted. I am kind of mad that it won't come out. I really wanted that set. I bought the He-Man/Battle Cat combo anticipating that I could get both sets...

PCS talked about rising costs... So how much of an increase do they think it would be? Please give us a rough estimate. For Skeletor, I might be willing to pay more.

It does not make any sense to have a hero statue without a villain statue. Why bother to have a He-Man/Battle Cat set without a Skeletor/Panthor set? With the 1:1 busts, PCS released both He-Man and Skeletor... Why not do the same with this set? I wonder if I can cancel the He-Man and Battle Cat combo and get a full refund. I am thinking about it. I really want both sets. There is no point getting a He-Man/Battle Cat combo without a Skeletor/Panthor set.

I am not mad at PCS...I am just really disappointed with them.

Can we also get a animated filmation thunder cats line? It may sell better than the first line just look at how popular the new Mattel line is doing. I will buy all of the more than the motu line. So many cool characters in that show. But as for skeletor hope fans will get it one way or another.
