Well that's great, the water tribe pack is the one I am most looking forward to! I have fixed these issues before by placing items under a heavy book for a while, so hopefully that will work here, otherwise the warm water would be worth a try. In the end, though, these figures are just too damn cool to really complain too much about! :)
Thanks for the info!

Seen these as well looks like some people are already looking for memories :)
Still believe this line will cause a new wave of collectors for the vintage line as well, but for now the 1st release wave has to calm down a little awaiting the 2nd one LOL

@Lord do you already have some hands on information available or are the first figs still on their way to France?

I'm still waiting for my first figures. The first shippment with a full case of blind boxes is on its way to New Caledonia (and not France ;)) and the second one is delayed due to the fact that I ordered dices sets. The delay on the dices sets forced a delay on all my order (regular figures + starter sets). I guess I will have the case later this week and the regular figures at the end of the month.

WOW I did a quick google search on New Caledonia as I was somehow convinced you were located in France but looks like you've found yourself a nice place on our globe ;) I'm sure even the Beasts will make it to there at least I wouldn't have to doubt for a sec if I'd a chance to go there LOL

Hope they get to you soon!

@People with hands on information.
What's your thought about the Shark and Marlin figs, as they seem to be more dark than the first images that were released. Personaly I really liked the way the clear shark looked from the first pics but it looks as if they've been using a more darker color for its body color than was expected Or is this mostly a lightning issue?

I guess we still don't know where the giant tribal lords went? It would be incredible to own one of those.

AWSEOME! I saw a figure in that vid that I must have missed from the photos of the event...the ZEBRA figure!

That reminded me to update the BEAST SAGA SUPER CHECKLIST ... so I did! :)

Looks like there have been 41 different characters revealed so far in the various media/publicity/prototypes etc - (42 if you include ROBOT/GOLEM thing!)

If y'all could take a look and let me know if you've spotted any I missed (or if I have repeated any...don't think I have, but just in case!)

Anways - Here is the ULTIMATE LIST!!!!!!!! ->

Personaly I really liked the way the clear shark looked from the first pics but it looks as if they've been using a more darker color for its body color than was expected Or is this mostly a lightning issue?

I'm still in the process of unboxing all of my figures but I've done a few, including the clear shark. The plastic is MUCH darker than the others and sort of makes him look odd among the other figures. He's still a great figure, and the darker plastic sort of gives him an evil vibe. It's actually pretty cool after you get used to the difference.
Also, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but there is a little piece of reflective foil sitting at about a 45 degree angle in the back of the plunger so that when the dice are placed in the chest they appear to glow when placed near a light source. The glowing effect is pretty bright and has completely changed my outlook on the dice being placed in the figures. Its an extremely cool thing that Takara didn't have to include but they did, and it adds so much to the look of the figures.
On a side note, as was mentioned before in this thread, my chase dice and cards all appeared in the top row of the case and while the dice seem to appear with random characters, the cards were with the lion and the shark.


Note: After examining the figures in better light, its actually not a piece of foil, (it looked that way in the dim lighting in my room) but rather just the way the plunger itself is molded that catches the light to make the dice glow.

Posted 19 September 2012 - 10:02 AM

Just opened up my packs of figures. I purchased one of everything, but didn't get a whole case of the booster packs. I ordered 16 boosters, and here was my breakdown:

Long Giraffe x3
Bammet (Bird) x3
Eridoram (Elephant) x1
Raiooga (Lion) x2
Bill Sword (Marlin) x3
Morick (Bat) x2
Killer Shark x2
Special Yellow Dice x3 (Although I didn't take note of specifically which figures they came with)

Overall a pretty decent distribution. I didn't get the Clear Dolphin. The shark is definitely MUCH darker than in the pictures, but I think it works for him. As someone said, it makes the clear shark look pretty sinister. Perhaps he will be the dark, evil version of the painted Killer Shark.

Overall, I am absolutely ecstatic with these! I love them. They are what I was hoping for in a battle beasts reboot. I really like the proportions, sculpting and paint detail. And each figure has their own unique character and charm to them. I could see the dice shooter device severely limiting the sculpting on the torso, but I have to say that with this initial wave, I don't think it's gotten in the way that much.

The figures look nicer with the dice loaded in, but of course there is the plunger sticking out the back. But honestly, if I have them displayed, I don't really notice. It's mainly when I am handling the figure that i notice.

Rioogar is an awesome sculpt. But man, he's huge! I knew that the Beast Saga stuff would all be larger than the original BBs. And most of them are just slightly larger. But the lion is really big. He's as big as the Elephant. Not that it's a problem, he just looks a lot more buff and intimidating than the others.

The two that I was most surprised by were the Bird and Dolphin. Both of them I was rather so so about looking at the pictures. But once I had them in hand, I found myself really liking them. Dolphin to me actually feels like the closest in size,proportion and style to original battle beasts, which of course is a plus for me. Bird really surprised me with the level of detail and the style of the armor. I think his armor is one of my favorites from the entire wave.

The deer is another really nice figure. I really like the regal look to his armor, especially with the larger shoulder pads, and the protective armor around his neck. He has a style to him that feels like he would be some noble lord or knight, which is really fitting for the character that I have created for him. Be careful with Big Serow when you get him. On mine, the antlers were not glued in, so they were loose in his bag, and could be easily lost if you were just tearing into the plastic to free him.

There are a couple of the figures that are a little goofy looking to me, namely Long Giraffe and Bill Sword. I was really excited for a marlin battle beast, and I really like the figure, but man that head sculpt and the armor at the side of the head is a bit goofy looking on him. And the giraffe's proportions and the way his neck and head bend forward is a little odd. Still love both figures, but they do have a certain oddness to them.

Now, I really want to see some english translations of the game rules and the cards. I would actually really like to try and play the dice game, but right now I can only guess at the most simple of rules. I don't know the details of what any of the special dice do.

Also, has anyone gotten their Dice Battle Colosseum yet? I preordered one along with everything else, but it is taking a little bit more time to come in. I am curious what the Golem/Training robot looks like, especially next to the other Beast Saga figures.

I am super excited for this line. Can't wait to get waves 2 and 3. The only complaint I have is that I haven't seen a Chameleon BS figure yet, not even a lizard of some type. The line seems to be very light on reptiles thus far, with only the upcoming alligator and sea turtle.

I could be wrong, but I believe this is the leader of the Air tribe. His name is "キャプテンイーグル" or Captain Eagle, so it would make sense. Bammet is a smaller, wingless bird that I am imagining is the fast, agile scout.

Someone said the pieces are compatible but i don't know what that means exactly.

If they just snap together... i would be very happy.

True about the Eagle being the leader the AIR tribe like the Lion is from the EARTH tribe and the Shark from the SEA tribe.

So again we've a pic showing up of BS parts that interchange with in this case an Armovor body but the question I launched on the previous page about this matching fit isn't aswered yet;

There are tons of pics showing up of BS figs with interchangable parts from other toylines and vice versa I never noticed this till the BS line but it looks like there's some international standard fit amongst some toylines!?!? Looks like they fit with Armorvor and I've also seen other parts showing up can't believe its just a matter of coincidence.....



Its a realy interesting issue in my opinion, any thought about it?
