Ladic Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I recently remember about these toys, and how much fun I had with them. Who else here had these? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Beasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsjado Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i thought the post said battle breasts and figured you had a way cooler childhood than me. i used to have a few of those. i can't remember anything about them though. either too many toys as a kid or too much tom foolery as a teenager.

David Hingtgen Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 There was an article about it in the recent Toyfare. It said "sunburst" ones were so rare in the US "there are no recorded sales". But I could swear I had one. Possibly with green armor---no idea what the animal was. But for years I recalled seeing a G1 Arcee at a Kay-Bee, so I know my "toy memories" aren't 100% reliable...

Phyrox Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I loved these things! They were small enough to fit in your pocket and play with in class without getting in trouble, and cheap enough that you could trade them with your friends like baseball cards. And the variety really appealed to me. Yeah, it was the variety and kookiness that I really loved. I don't think I ever managed to keep any accessories longer than a week though. My favorite had to be the squid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mister_e Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ah yes. Battle Beasts. Rock, Scissors, Paper at its finest. I had a ton of these as a kid. Good memories, but now I feel old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Battle Beasts you say? Simply Awesome! I remember the first time my Dad brought home a four pack (i think it was)? I was hooked. Me and my friend traded out various ones in hopes to collect all the ones we were each missing. I got pretty damn close too, but i think around that time i was already moving onto something new, which at the time if i remember was MegaForce, another under-appreciated and under-represented toyline. I guess if your toy line doesn't some kind of tie-in beyond the toys themselves it's that much harder to get recognized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, you lucky sonavagun! They also showed up in an issue of the Dreamwave comics IIRC. I loved the shark and the squid when I was little.

eriku Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 But for years I recalled seeing a G1 Arcee at a Kay-Bee, so I know my "toy memories" aren't 100% reliable... One of my friends will take to his grave his insistance that his friend had a G1 Headmaster Arcee toy when they were kids. As for the Battle Beasts, I got this shark playset thing with a white lion figure as a gift but I must not have liked it that much because I never asked for any additional figures. They actually seem more cool to me now than they did then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Wow, not just Arcee, but a *headmaster* Arcee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
