I have about 400 battle beasts, 3 chariots, one of the bases, and a vast cadre of weapons. Only battle beast I don't have is the anteater, whichever number that was. As far as TMNT figures...if you have a Quarry or a Foot Elite Guard, I'll trade you. Otherwise, I'm up for selling too.

I am just wonder, can someone on this post give me the general stats about Battle Beasts (ie. years of release, what they are based on etc)

I just find it weird in all my searches, I don't think I've ever come across one (I grew up overseas which might explain part of it). But usually I buy huge lots of action figures from thrift stores and garage sales and if I don't know what they are, I educate myself on them.

So can anyone give me a quick rundown of their information. Thanks

Battle Beasts were released in 1986 by Hasbro...they had some link to Takara (maybe designed by?) and had a brief comic book series: they also had a guest appearance in Transformers, IIRC. Each figure was an anthropomorphic animal with tech-ish body armor, a hand-to-hand weapon, and a "rubsign". Somewhere on the figure (almost always front and center on the chest) was a small black square piece of film. If you lightly ran your finger over it, it would reveal a symbol underneath: fire, water, wood, or some rare fourth kind (star-burst?). That's the rubsign. It was a rock-paper-scissors thing, with fire beating wood, etc. The rubsigns were notorious for coming off if rubbed too hard. There were 76 Battle Beasts made in all, and they were a success both in Japan and in the U.S. There was a brief follow-up series called Laser Beasts...I don't know much about them, but they didn't have a large release here in the states and are considered much rarer.

Weapons: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t=DSCN0198.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...a/DSCN0201.jpg Battle Beasts With Rubsigns: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t=DSCN0192.jpg Battle Beasts Without Rubsigns: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t=DSCN0196.jpg Chariots: http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t=DSCN0191.jpg Bases: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...a/DSCN0190.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...a/DSCN0189.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...a/DSCN0188.jpg Also, one customized robot-armed Toad (don't ask) and few extra arms if you like customizing: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...a/DSCN0197.jpg
