As epic as this piece is doesn't worth the 1k price tag asked imo, so as a huge MOTU fan i will have to admire it from afar!!!
This is another perfect example why most collectors are at the tail end of this hobby!!!
But with Battle Cat this thing is two feet tall and over two feet long. The total mass is greater than a lot of 1/4 pieces out there. It's about the same size as the Skeletor life-size bust.

If He-Man and Battle Cat were sold separately in this scale (bearing in mind that BC is like two 1/6 characters put together), the price for both would be at least $1K. We've seen a lot of excessive price hikes in the hobby lately, but this isn't one of them. It's a lot of statue.

I agree. I think the price is more than fair. Now, the extra shipping and tax is another thing.

I think it’s a good price for what is two statues. I see the height is 23.25 inches…..the space I have earmarked allows me 23 inches! I’m hoping with the axe it’s slightly less, looks to be in the photos…

Anyway, I’ll definitely find somewhere for it to go! ����

i thought the same thing when i first saw the axe hand. it would look better him holding the end of the handle. it's one of the only things i would change.

I've forwarded it to FB. But will prob be lost between all the noob questions.

PO would be very hard to resist when they instantly announce Skeletor on Panthor as a 100% companion piece.

Technically you're right but this is He-Man we're talking about so I think it's safe to say that he's going to destroy whatever he hits regardless of how he's holding the handle.

She-Ra is my #1 want from this line but I wouldn't want her to come with a horse and that massive wingspan. Of course I might change my mind if I saw it but personally I just want a stand-alone She-Ra (in both this line and as a 2.0 Maquette in the Legends line.)

Swiftwind would take up a massive amount of room with his wings out. But there were plenty of actions scenes where they would be dropping down to fight. His wings would be folded in and she had her sword up (or rope out to throw).

Also, I would not be opposed to a sweeter moment. She-Ra standing next to him with her hand on his face (she did that a lot). It's hard because I know people want action and that wouldn't be.
