    Couldn't even get a damn Battle Beast at C2E2. I went the booth as soon as I could and they were all gone :( .

    I'm not too upset as I'm not a fan of Minimates, but it would've been nice to get one.

    Wish I had known about the red one...did they give that out at the panel or at the booth? The only one I got was the Retailer Summit grey version.

    Those designs sound BEAST.

    I'm so sorry.

    shame they won't be doing new versions of old characters but I think this line should be really fun, and its amazing what they can do with the minimate body

    No visor on the moose??

    Lame.

    I do like some of these designs though. Not sure if I want to start collecting these too though, but I'll likely throw one or two in with each BBTS order.

    The detail on these looks incredible, I have to admit.

    I'm a little undecided on these honestly. They don't have that same feel as the originals. And that hamster just looks silly.

    I may get some, but I'm holding off for now.

    I agree on the hamster, the sea animals hooked me in though. I've been wanting something like that since I was a kid. I'm guessing it might be a land animals vs sea animals type deal.

    Since they has been finally revealed, I can now say I did some work for this line, mostly on the sea creatures assortment.
    So far I recognize Pirazon (the piranha) and Coelence (the coelacanthus) - other may have been re-drawn or revised (like with the swordfish guy, they changed the design quite a bit, but kept my weapons designs).
    Great to see the toyline coming to (plastic) life! :)

    These look fantastic. I was interested in the dst minimate ones, but the takara ones are a lot cooler I think. The elephant one looks really good. I hope we get a white lion as a nod to the original.

    That's awesome! Do you know if there will be any Japanese medium to go with it such as Manga, or dare I say it, an ANIME?!

    It already has a manga in Saikyo Jump magazine. That's where all the initial scans came from.
