DSTZach Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I believe Bliss and Tate each come with a Gauntlet. And the Bat is in TRU Series 1. Maybe not that exact bat, but a bat. No eyepatch that I recall. You;ll get a better look at specialty Series 1 this Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Battle Beasts will be out around Christmas and there's not a reindeer in the initial wave? That's a lost marketing opportunity right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delta chameleon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Those look really nice. I agree that the Vorin armor does look a bit bright, but I kind of like it. The tarantula looks much better in this shot. He looked a bit off in the SDCC pics, but in this picture, I can see quite a bit more of him and his proportions. And of course, as many others have said, Merk and the Snake looks amazing. But the one that is starting to impress me the most the more pictures I see of him is gruntos. Out of all the BBs, for me he does the best job of capturing the look and character of him from the comic book. Both Merk and Vorin look like minimate versions of their characters, but Gruntos just looks like a perfect miniaturized version of the character. Really nice. So this is the specialty store series 1 correct? I am excited to see pictures of the TRU series 1. Really waiting anxiously to see that moose.

groundhog7s Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 BBTS has series one up for pre-order. And I'm with you delta. I can't wait to see the TRU group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I really like that Vorin armor if that's the final colour, really makes it pop. Merk and the snake I'll probably try to grab the TRU versions if they're going to be significantly brighter. They might've even gotten me to buy the human if they'd done a more obvious likeness of Zooey Deschanel like the comic Was never really into the creepy-crawly beasts so those are a pass for me, but I'm sure there'll be lots more birds/mammals/etc down the road.

DSTZach Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 This is specialty. The humans are only at specialty, and these are all comic colors. TRU will have metallics and brighter colors, plus Moose and Bat. Only thing I'm not sure about is whether I've been talking out of my ass about the green snake being at Toys R Us. Specialty should be comic-accurate, and the comic snake is tan, I believe. We'll see. They're both cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Here's some pics of Takara's new Beast Saga stuff. Honestly? I prefer Minimates if only for the articulation. But then, I'm biased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanester Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Zach, your mission is to get a Minimate Multiverse plug into future articles and interviews. It is cool that this line is getting a lot of notice. I must admit that its more attention than I thought it would get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well, the online edition. But still! Print is dead. Online is the way to go, with your social medias and your page views and your impressions and Tweets and YouTubes and Likes and pokes and smartphones and iPads and flibbertyflabbertyfoo. </cosby> Really liking the Battle Beasts. That's the best picture of the spider I've seen, and he is impressive. I have no idea how I'm going to get him in the house though - my wife hates spiders.

Lobsterman Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's kind of funny that BBTS is using the classic Battle Beasts logo with the wood/fire/water emblems rather than the new DST-designed one. Also, awwww February? :sad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
