A standee from an industry-only toy preview in Los Angeles offers the first full look at Nicholas Galitzine suited up as He-Man riding Battle Cat in the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie.
The cardboard display, set up for professionals attending a Toy Association event, shows Galitzine in full costume with the Power Sword mounted on his back and riding the iconic armored feline.

Who is Battle Cat?
Battle Cat is He-Man’s loyal, armored tiger-like companion who transforms from the timid green feline Cringer into a fierce steed when He-Man raises the Power Sword.
While it’s unclear if the image is directly pulled from the film or based on promotional art, it aligns with the overall look of the film, as seen in the previously revealed weapon props.
The standee is being presented alongside the same Power Sword and Havoc Staff seen at San Diego Comic-Con, reinforcing a coordinated rollout targeting retailers and licensees ahead of the film’s marketing push.
