I picked up Battle Cat-Man (The most Powerful Cat in the Universe) at Target yesterday.
I like him. Very cool figure. The included comic is a hair odd. Good art. (There's one spot where the word balloons are either misplaced or badly designed)
The story is just a bit confusing in a continuity sense. The Thundercats parts seems to take place in their original Cartoon continuity referencing events from the later part of the show (The Tower of Omens, the Thundercats defeating Mum-Ra and moving from Third Earth to New Thundara) and the He-man stuff looks at first like it's the same way starting with what seems like Normal Eternia and Normal Skeletor doing normal Skeletor stuff (summoning Mum-Ra's pyramid via an ancient spell book).
The pyramid appears before him BUT ALSO at the same time Skeletor's world is pulled into the Thundercat's Space/Universe/Dimension as the planet materializes in space in the path of Lion -O's space ship just after he's had a vision of Tyra captured in the Black Pyramid. The Thundercats (Lion-O, Cheetara, and Panthro) crash on the newly appeared planet and are immediately met by He-man and his companion Battle Cat-Man, a Thundercat who recognizes Lion-O and the sword (the package says Battle Cat-man crashed on He-Man's world after the destruction of Thundara and now protects his adapted home). BCM welcomes them to Third Eternia. They set off to rescue Tygra while Skeletor says the Mum-ra thing and becomes Skel-Ra the Everliving.
Soooo... I guess the spell that summoned the Black Pyramid to Skeletor also merged Eternia into the Thundercats world making it Third Eternia and replacing Cringer-Battle Cat with the Thundarian Kal-El Battle Cat-Man? I guess. It's a mini comic and not the best written one ever so the events of the plot are all a bit vague.
I would like to see other characters in this merger. Zoar as a humanoid Falcon-Woman would be cool. Slythe as a Snake man. I'd also really like a Bengali and Kit and Kat (but since they weren't on the Space Ship I guess they're not gonna be in this story)
-ZacWilliam, and what are we even doing here if we don't get a Snarf/Orko merger.
