I snoozed on Battle Cat as a non subscriber, ending up with every other iteration of the buck. Love them all, especially Battle Lion, who I pair with Dolph Lundgren movie He-Man... since he missed out on Battle Cat too :)
I think missing Battle Lion from the original Matty line is my subconscious reason why I bought 6 Battle cat revelations on clearance and form my Tiger Tribe along w/ my 200X Bcat, Motuc Battle Cat, & Origins Battle cat.
Fun video! Thank you! Yeah, the backwards-compatability on this one was very nicely done. But I suspect like a lot of collectors, I put Battle Lion's armour on Battle Cat once to see the effect, said "Huh. Neat." and promptly put everything back the way it was.
I always thought it was intresting and clever to have used an old Big Jim tiger mold as the 80s Battlecat and Panthor. That alone must have brought in tonsssss of money. As a kid in the 80s...the box art on all these figures made anyone want them all!
I would like to have a Battle Lion in 3.75 scale Anyway the armour deliberately being designed to be shared reminds me of the Boba Fett's Throne room presentation where they also showed the playset with Jabba on his Throne, knowing perhaps that many of us will display it thusly
The final shot of Vikor alongside Battle Lion speaks the imagination in a major way. Just imagine the adventures of that savage Preternian warrior and his ferocious green mount/pussycat companion! I can see them fighting dinosaurs like some kind of Harryhausen/MOTU mash-up...!
Other than Major Matt Mason has any other Mattel lines been referenced as happening within the same universe as MOTU? Like if you went to Earth in the MOTU universe would you find Big Jim having adventures?
So what's the story with the panther from Tarzan? Part of the figure's molded in detail is clearly intended to be tiger stripes. It looks as if a tiger was intended but like Beast Wars' Cheetor mold, it's just 'generic big cat' more than anything.
I always thought it was weird that Battle Lion was also green. Tigers, lions, panthers are different colors in the real world. It seems unlikely two cat species evolved to be the same color. I wish he were a different color.
There are white lions as well as white tigers. Ligers. Also the rules for species on Earth go out the window when you venture to elsewhere in the universe.
Dude this guy destroyed the he-man franchise when he worked at Matty collectibles fucked up the lore stole from fans and now he calls himself a toy guru give me a break
Stop giving advice on He-Man when you sank the franchise when you worked at Maddie collectibles you have you have some of the worst experience in the toy industry you're a failure at Mattel and you stole sky High from Joe Amato.
@@gawbieviking1716 He-Man classics wasn't available on the shelf until much later and not as it came out it was originally supposed to be exclusive from Maddie collectibles. that didn't take off regardless of what Scott had thought he thought wrong and so it ended up making its way to retail store shelves anyway where your buddy over here running this channel tried keeping it off the shelves at retail as long as possible cuz he said He-Man would never last as a brand on retail again. as soon as he lost control it guess what it did make its way back to retail and collectors bought them anyway he gave us such characters as eternia's dentist and himself as a Deadpool rip off🤣 the master of time this guy is that conceited that he's the first guy to walk in the room and tell you why you're wrong and he does not support fans or The collector he supports the industry that kicked him out he kept Voltron Ghostbusters DC comic characters and so forth off shelves for a little bit or at least tried but was not successful he failed at Maddie collectibles which was owned by Mattel. Mattel fired him and he had to go work on some other toy company that I forget at the moment and then was forced to start his own company which I don't really think does all that much this guy failed at the toy industry and now he's on TH-cam trying to kiss ass to the industry that he so desperately wants back in but that doesn't want him I think you're kissing his ass too by the way stop being a fanboy wtf u know any way and who tf are you lol?

Hi Scott
I see eternia backed!
I thought rb was putting a stop to it?
Lol
It's too bad that with the Battle Lion Buck now, you guys didn't get a chance to repaint and give us Clawdeen for Catra. That would have been sweet.

The art was aimed at adults I believe since they the ones paying see
I was too little when classics came out so I hope they come out with a masterverse battle lion
Lions and tigers are related to each other, and lions in zoos have mated with female tigers and have produced ligers.
I still need one for my greyskull still.
I would like to have a Battle Lion in 3.75 scale

An awesome figure!!!!

I spend so much money on toys watching you Scott….
I still remember Tarzan coming out after Big Jim.
I only have the Battle Cat and Griffin.
I wish I have all 4 beasts.
So what's the story with the panther from Tarzan? Part of the figure's molded in detail is clearly intended to be tiger stripes. It looks as if a tiger was intended but like Beast Wars' Cheetor mold, it's just 'generic big cat' more than anything.

I always assumed that they were the same species but sperated by evolution, battlelion is ike the sabretooth tiger to our world's tiger
