New Battle Beast line from MiniMates

[boss1017]

I picked up a the set of four from Toys R Us yesterday. Two of them are TRU exclusives. A few of them are a kind of boxed, like the other mini mates, but the others are pretty well articulated, and remind me of the 80s version. Has anyone else out there picked these up? Are there any demand for them?

Are they just coming out or have they been out? I'm interested but I haven't seen them in TRU.

Yeah these are brand new.

I am pretty sure they are a newer line. I read a review about them somewhere online yesterday, and apparently there are four main packages that were released (two included human figures). I wasn't able to find those two, but I was able to snag the TRU exclusive packs (there are two of them).

If you go to TRU, you won't find them by the mini-mates section. At my TRU they are located back by the electronics (along with Mario, Sonic, Predator, Halo, and some MK stuff). This seems to be the way that they are laid out at all TRU that we have in Chicago (I have been to all of them).

Hope this helps! I really do like the new look, and the accessories remind me a lot of the 80s line.

You'll have to go to a comicbook store or online to find the human figures. I don't care much for generic human minimate figures anyhow so I'm happy with the TRU series for now.

I don't care for the human figures either. I am considering putting together the whole set though. Not sure yet. I LOVE the pack with the walrus and the snake. They look great!
