youbastards Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 That may be their numbering, but unless we get packaged pix of the "Bulky Hulk" wave soon, it looks like the Thor wave will be shipping first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sylvain Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I was waiting for this Toy Fair so much. I had hoped that we would have seen plenty of Battle Beasts new sculpts as the release date seems to be 2011. But nothing ! Not even a small gator in a carrying case. Now I'm really worried about the fiuture of the line (BB not Minimates). I even wonder why DST get this trademark. The first appearance of the gator was now more than 1 year ago (July 2009) then all we saw was recolored figures of the same gator. The first product that would come with a BB was cancelled, new style sculpts were shown and already forgotten, etc. I had a lot of hope in DST but now I wonder where all of this will end. If DST finally give up the BB line we are good for more years of nothing as the trademark will still be owned by a company that doesn't care about it. In fact all of this could prevent Hasbro/Takara to try a come back of the original line as they certainly don't want to pay DST to be able to use a name that was theirs some years ago. DST had a great opportunity with this line but the wait and the lack of news is killing it. Just my 2 cents of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It's been done before with old man Logan and old man Hawkeye. You're also right about the exclusive Logan which was exclusively missing the coat that he has in the WTTA box set Ah, but the exclusively missing coat isn't the only difference, don't forget that the TRU version doesn't have the "bloody tampo" (careful Rob...this is an all ages site) on the claw hands, and has bare arms with "old man detailing" I guess what I'm saying is, even if the only change the expression on his face and nothing else, I hope the TRU Nightcrawler isn't just a direct re-release of the Excalibur version.

buttheadsmate Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 On the bright side I'm pretty sure that something will eventually happen with Battle Beast Minimates although when & how is a completely different matter. I'm confident if only because nobody buys a licence & doesn't use it.....especially DST who milk every licence for the last drip from the teat. Battle Beasts ,I believe,are proving to be a problem with respect to the Minimate body.....well-documented in the BB thread ....but more specifically to the amount of new moulds they'll have to design & produce for each & every Beast. Without dwelling too much on my theory which may well be way off the truth I wouldn't get too despondent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaIceman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 So will all of the Marvel and MvC 3 sets featured at Toyfair be released this year, or will some be released next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniFiend UK Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 The thought of each beast having to use different moulds for armour etc never crossed my mind. So what you are saying to me is a reasonable theory why still no seen headway on Battle Beasts. They could always go the way of blind boxing and different colours of beast with different rarity etc. Ths may offset using the same molds over and over. I'm not a fan of this at all but just trying to think how to move forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Between Halo and the Sony mates, they're building up a pretty substantial library of futuristic armor pieces that could potentially be reused for Battle Beasts. It makes sense to me for them to invest the money in tooling for those sure-fire moneymaker properties, then reuse those pieces for a "test" wave of Battle Beasts MAX. They can dip a toe in the water without having to dump a ton of money into an untested property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I'd hate blind boxes for Minimates but it wouldn't be for the first time ... & most of the original BBs had a variant I think DST realised they may have made a blunder with the Crocs because unless they are Giant Crocs everything else will have to be in-scale & those Crocs are amongst the biggest 2" Minimates made ....if you get my drift? The Iron Man drones changed the game-plan as well with their tiny heads (potentially ready for larger slip-over heads) with normal run-of-the -mill size bodies. Still just my conjecture!
