ImABarRoomHero Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I can't say I've read every post about DST Battle Beasts on the Littlerubberguys forum but I've read most & I hadn't noticed the level of venom against Minimates that is implied in the posts here .....maybe I'm wrong.... it sometimes happens. I only read three negative posts over there before I had enough. They used their three anti-minimate strikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 THis one isn't bad, either. All digital: http://www.littlerubberguys.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=74927&view=findpost&p=409550 Another nice coloring job. I look forward to seeing the reaction from people when we see the fully-painted samples of the first wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Zach, when do you think you can post some of the control art you showed at C2E2? Please, Mr Oat sir, may we have some art? Seriously. I would really like to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamfleet Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Wow, that forum makes me want to puke. I have never met anyone who is anti minimates in all of my toy collecting conversations. Even those that don't collect them at least think they're cool. A small part of me makes me want DST to ruin the line BB line just to make those dudes all pissy, luckily a larger part of me wants to see these things blow up because man this ram is awesome. I guess the internet standards "haters gonna hate" is just true. I don't get it frankly. Why waste energy hating and being negative about something? What do they want, the same exact thing we had before? I really like the original BB, but, they're an old toy, and needed an update. I've heard a great deal of confusing attitudes from people. Like, they're excited, and mad, and just all over. It doesn't make sense to me, to just be in love with a brand name. I like animal warrior looking guys. I love the papo mutants for example. These minimate battle beasts are more animal warriors. Just because they're called BB doesn't mean I have to love them, or for that matter hate them. It's just a name. I'm getting tired of people and their brand loyalty and then their hate for the competitor. Like what you like, no need to go around hating the other option. It's sickening and disgusting, just like pepsi. Even then, takara is making new battle beasts too. BB fans have two options coming their way. It's like, the greatest time to be a BB fan since they were first released. They really have nothing to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battlecat Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Had a quick browse and I'm with BHM, not really getting the same impression as you guys, at all. Our own thread seems way more hatery at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Has anyone compiled a list of new Battle Beasts coming? So far we have: Ram (Vorin) Scorpion Tarantula with multiple legs (four?) Cobra with no legs Dragonfly Walrus (Gruntos?) I'm really stoked for these. I need to get back to work on my custom for the contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Merk, the falcon or whatever. I look forward to him the most at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 The falcon control art wasn't shown at C2E2, but I can't wait for everyone to see the tarantula and scorpion. Mostly because I'm curious to see if members are happy with the amount of sculpting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I've never cared whether or not there are large amounts of sculpted parts on Minimates, but I see the BB line to be a lot like Ghostbusters was. There's just a lot of characters that can only be done by altering the basic Minimate body, but the end result is amazing. Of course, I recognized some GB parts being reused, so it was an easy conclusion to come to. I think you'll all be amazed. And I think those that have a problem with them will be the people that would find any reason they could not to like them regardless of what they say.

TM2 Dinobot Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 While I am a huge complainer champion of vinilla-mates, I see Battle Beasts as a new creature entirely, they almost doesn't allow Minimates to factor in. That being said, I seriously don't want to see another line like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 There will be a Merk in Series 1, but we just revised the sculpt. (x10000 better). Not sure what will be TRU and what will be comic stores, but we'll know by July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cappy Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Gotta say, I LOVE the style of these. They remind me of the Seventh Kingdom figures by 4 Horsemen which is awesome because those are some of the best action figures on the market. BINGO! Thank you, Punisher, for nailing something that's been niggling me since I saw pics of Vorin. These guys will be like collecting affordable 7th Kingdom! Yay!

JeffBohn Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I think there is some sort of Minimate exclusive/incentive with the IDW comic coming in July... http://www.dcbservice.com/category.aspx?id=37 BATTLE BEASTS #1 (OF 4) 25 COPY MINIMATE INCV Order Code - MAY120358 Looks like the comic store gets 1 for every 25 copies of the comic they order. DCBS has it listed at $12. Can't find any more info on it yet though. May be worth checking at your local comic store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
