screamfleet Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I'm pretty excited. The announcement of battle beasts way back when was what got me interested in minimates to begin with. No matter how they come out, minimates, larger figures, rubsign or not, I'm into some armor wearing anthropomorphic figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 DST isn't paying you enough for all the work you do! :biggrin: I may need hazard pay to go onto the Transformers message boards. Risking life and limb, there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Eh, put together a crack team. Me, KA, Maxi and Miry will go in your place. We know how to handle transfans. I just wonder about the rub signs. The fact that you want to make them distinctive is a good thing that I can understand and agree with. I just happen to know that's a point of contention with a lot of classic fans. Maybe you could sculpt a place to put them on your molds, but just not add a rub sign? Let people put their own on?

I just happen to know that's a point of contention with a lot of classic fans. Maybe you could sculpt a place to put them on your molds, but just not add a rub sign? Let people put their own on? If they're showing the line at C2E2, I imagine they're already sculpted. Plus it would look a bit weird if they all have an empty square in the middle of their chest -- although I guess it might bring back nostalgic memories of all those old ones where the damn rub sign fell off :tongue: If someone's interest in the line is that dependent on them being exactly like the old toys, they will likely be disappointed by something, rub sign or no. For me, any new Battle Beasts is good Battle Beasts -- it's been 20 years! I'm pretty excited for the reveal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostisfire Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Can we atleast be teased with some concept art at toy fair or with a prototype of another beast?Or with a giveaway of another beast or the same gator so I can finally buy one in a reasonable price?

Mystery Man Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I had Battle Beasts as a kid and loved them. If minimate ones don't have the little rubbing stickers (or the marble in the chest, either) then that's okay. I'd just like to see them released, honestly. I'd also like to get a crocodile. I still don't have any version of that guy and man, it buuuugs me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of figures, the easiest one to get, ended up being my least favorite color scheme. I still hope they do one as a homage to the original grusome gator with white skin and green armor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sylvain Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 According to the Facebook DST page we should get an announcement before the end of the countdown. Then we would be able to see the result of the announcement the day the countdown end. Only a few days left and maybe announcement in just a couple of hours.
