Something a little different this time. This is an image from the now deleted blog of James Eatock, a big name He-Fan who worked on asset discovery for the Character Guide & World Compendium--meaning he had access to archives the layperson will never get to see. In his words,
Here is a page from the He-Man and the Masters of the Universe season two Series Bible showing a character that never made it into production. This character appears to be a regal character, a great warrior and possibly a hunter. I am sure that Filmation would have simplified this character design to one that suited the style of Filmation animation. One can only imagine the kind of episode he would have appeared in…
This design represents quite the departure from the established cat people of Eternia, the Cat Folk (such as King Paw, or the significantly more popular Kittrina). He’s styled with more futuristic equipment, is more distinctly feline, and of course has the rocking 8-pack. His head/face structure is actually a lot more like the Magicats’, particularly Sir Tao’s--though of course season 2 of He-Man preceded the Magicats by quite a while.
