I really want a battle beasts reboot, i know about the beast saga one but that was japan exclusive, and it was too short lived

Not likely to happen, but it would be cool. Especially if it tied into the TF universe again.

I love battle beasts, but the gimmick really ruined the appeal of beast saga. The sculpt really suffers for having to fit a dice launcher into their chest. Wish they had just come with guns to launch them instead.

The toyline I'd like to get a reboot the most is dino riders, though with how limited retail space is these days they'd have real trouble selling things like the t-rex unless they scaled the toys down to where the pilots are the size of diaclone or star wars action fleet.

if you'd try one you'd see that the connections are pretty tight and held in by a ring around the peg. a lot of people use glyos as pocket figures and they hold together quite well, they mostly don't fall apart unless you're trying to pry them apart.

Disagree. Although they had better articulation than Beast Saga, They felt kinda janky in hand and the sculpts, while detailed, looked really bad stylistically. The proportions are just strange and awkward, and really lack the quirky charm of BB/BS.

These are awesome. Good animal choices, lots of personality in the sculpts, nice proportions. Really dig Kayman and Armadel. If you have any info on how to buy these from the US, please let me know--there are a few on eBay from a seller in Italy, but they list shipping as $50 USD for a single figure.

Also, I'm really surprised nobody has mentioned Russian Battle Beasts. Some of them were straight up Battle Beast molds, but there were a number of original sculpts as well. From what I understand, these were sold under various names as a sort of cheapo knockoffy-type thing. Really cool sculpts though, as long as you don't mind painting em.

These were just released in clear bags here in Italy, so i guess if you have some contact they can hunt characters for you pretty easily. Plus you can order them (only for Italy) from the Megantik website. Kaiman is out of stock from the web store though.

The sad thing is the ones they had planned/sculpted as the line was cancelled. Takara released a mag, Tribute to Beastformers, that had a bunch of painted and unpainted prototypes.

>not being able to accept that someone might just not like Glyos
I still have a fair amount and occasionally still buy them, fuck I even still have the og Hybrid Sarvos. But it's just not gonna be for everyone, I recommend Glyos to a friend of mine, he ordered a few figures and was done. Between the way they look aesthetically and the fact there aren't a bunch of molds, it can be a nice homage to Battle Beasts but far from a substitute for it.

Glyos can be a tough sell. I've been through that exact same song and dance with several of my friends and online acquaintances. Some of them just aren't into the whole idea of Glyos. Some of them love what they got, but ultimately tap out because it's too pricey. And some do that thing where they order like, a Traveler and one phase arm, can't do any building or combining, and then say they don't "get it" and quit. It can be hard to get all the stars to align correctly for someone else, but I still think it's one of the best indie toylines out there.

My personal "homage to Battle Beasts" via Glyos basically consists of buying a shitton of Armorvors, building custom limbs for some to differentiate them, then buying up every single Glyos-compatible animal head I can get, mostly from TGB/Jason. This is not cheap of course, but it does make me happy and give me a decent assortment of different animals.

This was so promising I got so hyped. The power armor, the different colorings. I was really looking forward to the minimates battle beasts. Then the ones they ended up doing were just furry minimates. They looked so cheap and bland. No armor, just blah.

The unmade prototypes looked nice too. Idk wtf happened, diamond screwed up hard.

Diamond a shit. They had no idea what the fuck they were doing. I don't think their hyper-complicated pseudo-realistic sculpt style works for a cute little line like Battle Beasts either.

>>6935389
Like I mentioned above, a few of them ARE on eBay, but the seller wants $50 to ship each one from Italy. And that's not even including the price of the toy itself. Even worse, some of his listings have "unknown" shipping costs, I'm afraid to even ask.

Has anyone tried ordering directly from the company?

https://www.diramix.com/prodotto/modellini-3d-megantik/

It says 3D models, but you can order up to 3, and there is shipping, so it doesn't seem like they mean a model for 3D printing, so I am not sure exactly what they are selling.

2006 was by far the worst year of Bionicle but they really stepped the marketing up that year. Maybe because they knew the sets were bad and needed to hype them.

I'm not gonna say it's completely awful, but the squat, gangly, gorilla-armed, big-headed thing in this pic looks almost nothing like the imposing badass in the render to me.

There's also the fact that the lighting in the render makes it look like he's cast in gunmetal and pale blue-grey plastic instead, which would look much better than what we got.
