buttheadsmate Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 This has gone very very quiet & I am quite disappointed because I felt that these would 'fly'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't worry about Battle Beasts yet. I would guess DST is still pulling their plans tgether for the license. After all, they bought the license - they must have some plan for it. If we don't have any Battle Beast news at Toy Fair next year, then you should worry.

BrobotC Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 i agree with boyd,also they own the license so if they cancel the playset there still has to be minimates of them!besides.everyone knows there just gonna buy the set for the crocodile mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Toyfair always was the main stage reveal planned for battle beasts, the playset was more of a way to add a sneak preview of them Jeff of the Miniacs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 A few things: -Notice how he mentions the Toyfair mate being a "special colorway." That pretty much jives with the possibility of the yellow-armored gator still showing up in the regular playset. -Guess whose sword that originally is? Ares. -Again, the lack of rubsigns had been pointed out. I just really hope we see someone other than the gator once the actual line gets rolling.

Mystery Man Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I hope we see more of those gators on ebay for us to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Personally, I'll just hold off and pay for him when he is released with the different paint deco at retail, but if you want the promo, here is one: http://cgi.ebay.com/NY-Toy-Fair-2010-Exclu...=item4cedcc7f90 Doubt we'll see this guy go for less than $30 anytime soon, though.

Mystery Man Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I just hope to get one. I fear there won't be another release since we didn't see anything else at Toy Fair. I HOPE I'm just worrying about it. But the point is moot since I can't spend 30 bucks on one, much as I'd like to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrobotC Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Man i really want one!hopefully they have an even different color scheme for San Deigo Comic Con,if they hand them out as promo's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisted Two-Face Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Man i really want one!hopefully they have an even different color scheme for San Deigo Comic Con,if they hand them out as promo's! The Gator in 4 different colors, while difficult to get ahold of, would be incredible. I've slacked off tracking down the last three '08 ones, but these would be top priority for me. Keep it simple, too: Red Gator Blue Gator Black Gator Clear Gator Keep two basic, classic SDCC colors, Black instead of yellow/gold or white/silver since we'd have (hopefully) both, and Clear instead of green because green armor on a green Gator would look odd. Besides, who WOULDN'T want the Clear-armored Gator?? Really?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I agree with the reviewer. The minimate does indeed look amazing, but without the ever popular rub decal, the toy just isn't a "TRUE" Battle Beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbpanizzi Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I was hoping for a symbol on the chest block. I know it would be a pain to know what the symbol is but at least it would be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Well, a tampo with the design wouldn't be so difficult, would it? I wonder if there is something about the license that precludes the use of those logos? Maybe their rights exist separately from the brand name generally and likeness of the characters?

pawcanada Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I have to admit, I wasn't too fussed about the Battle Beasts. I never had them as a kid so they don't have the same nostalgia value as the Turtles (for example) and I'm unsure about the playset they're coming with. However the figure did look cool in the review, so I think opportunity pending I might pick up some of them. I wonder if we'll get any new weapons that can get added into the main line.

Bob Harris Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 It looks way better than I thought, but what the reviewer calls his favorite thing is the reason I'm still not interested in it: it does not look like a minimate. All respect to the cool idea and it's really incredible what DST/AA are doing here, but I'm just not interested in a different toyline.

NightViper Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Looks like there's going to be a new Battle Beast website coming from the webmasters that run Seibertron.com - PlanetBeast.com. Their first content is a pretty nice gallery of Gator Guard. As for the rub symbols, I'm not worried. Mainly because I need to order more from Reprolabels.com anyway. I may as well just grab a few extra for when they finally start up this Minimates line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Thanks NV for that link. After checking out the gallery I am impressed as to the level of detail and the sculpting the Battle Beast Minimate has, also how well it fits with the originals. I think they could be on to a winner with this line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may as well just grab a few extra for when they finally start up this Minimates line. I was looking for those at the Reprolabels site a couple days ago and couldn't find these being offered anymore. I know they periodically remove things from their site, so if they aren't there (and there is a fair chance that I'm just not seeing them), I hope that the new Battle Beast line will compel them to offer these up again. I would definitely buy some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where Reprolabels has moved most of their non-Transformers labels, including Battle Beasts.

karamazov80 Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 (edited) Awesome. Thanks! Though I don't know: a) how many Battle Beasts will ultimately be released; and b ) how well the stickers will fit, I might go ahead and order some soon, anyway. I know that Reprolabels makes these to order, and it has taken over a month for me to get orders received in the past. --edit: we also don't know if the regularly released BBs will have the rub symbols or not. . .maybe I should wait.-- Edited February 22, 2010 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gambitron Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 That review is great and makes me want this even more than ever. It also makes me want this line to expand! I hope I am able to get the Toy Fair one but whatever happens I can't wait for the playsets to come out! Has there been any update on a release date for those? The last date I saw was Feb 3rd.

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Minimates actually made it to the front page of 2005. Impressive. http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/t...-beasts-169209/ 2 things. 1) DST REALLY needs to think about rub signs. I know to us it's not that big a deal, but I suspect it may be a turn off for long time fans. 2) if They have access to the old 80's molds, they should think about a "Then and now" 2 pack.
