Battle Beasts Minimates

[The Geohound]

The TRU exclusives in place of the humans are the Bat and the Moose, aren't they?no idea how things would be packaged together, but whatever. We need a Squirrel soon so I can have Moose and Squirrel. Squirrel Girl would also work for this purpose, and make other happy too, so just go for that. No big deal to me.

I'm waiting for Lion & Eagle, so I can make me a Griffin! :biggrin:

DST posted a contest over on Facebook with a few awesome Minimate prizes, including some Vorin exclusives:

Thanks for the case break down, Zach! Now, a follow up that may have been answered already but I forgot: what is the TRU assortment?

I know we are getting different colors for some (all?) of the LCS beasts and there are no humans, right? So will it be:

LCS Vorin/beast color swap

LCS Merk/beast color swap

Gunther/Snake color swap

TRU exclusive beas/beast pack

Or will Gunther and the Snake be paired with the TRU exclusives? Or a total swap-a-roo?

Thanks, Zach. I am trying to determine the easiest and cheapest way to amass an army of snakes.

Who the heck is Gunther? You mean Gruntos? DId I miss an in-joke?

Everybody at TRU is a re-deco, but the level of re-deco will vary. the Heroes' armor will be metallic, most likely, and the bad guys will be different colors entirely. Not sure of case breakdown, but the two-packs SHOULD be:

Vorin/Tan Scorpion

Merk/Brown Tarantula

Gruntos/Green Snake (POSSIBLY tan)

Moose/Bat

So you can just buy the new two, or you can pick up all the awesome re-decos.

No joke. Just lack of sleep and a poor memory. Gruntos, whom I love in the comic, was who I meant.

And thank you again for the line up. I am definitely looking forward to all of these, both versions of everyone. I just need to come up with the money and space to justify at least a case each from TRU and Luke's.

We really need a UPC incentive program for minimates!

[screamfleet]

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to hit up TRU and keep my eyes open.

[Kostisfire]

I've been away from the board with school starting so can anybody update me with when these hit or if there were any other major news except the tales box set?

[luke314pi]

Series 1 is supposed to arrive in early January.

[b00sted]

anyone read #3 yet? I just ordered 3 covers so be a bit before I can take a peek.

Thanks for the info!

I picked up two covers of #3 today along with my two Stealth Vorin. What a great color scheme. Best version yet (I don't have gold)

[battlecat]

Zach, don't know if it's possible, but it would be awesome if both of these waves got the full AA blog photo preview treatment whenever the samples show up. It would be really helpful for deciding which version of each character I'm going after...

salt in the wound bro, still waiting on my stealth lol

[b00sted]

got my stealth today, def my fav out of all of them so far. now to figure out what the heck t do with 23 spare comic books...

[luke314pi]

You could donate a few to your local library, as long as you let them know it should be in the young adults area and not the kids area.

[undeadpool]

ive read three, as i said earlier...it made me super happy that we are getting human characters in this line

[b00sted]

good idea.. i tossed them up on the bay but will take a few down to do that as I really dont want to ship them and this sounds like a much better option

Thanks again for getting them out to me Luke

[sky_dive]

I'll have to check the local library then. See if anyone had the same idea.

[Onyx_6]

I work at a public library and I am thinking these will make great prizes for adults and young adults. We have lots of comic/graphic novel readers who participate in our programs. This will be a unique prize to hand out.

Looks like the first image of the TRU exclusive Battle Beast bat has turned up on Facebook.

[b00sted]

I dunno how I feel about it, may grow on me which is usually what happens but I think I just set my expectations to high.
