As we all have different guesses about what this line will be made of why couldn't we start a little game. There is a list of facts we don't know for sure what they will be. In this thread everyone can post their own guesses. We will see who had the most right answers when the figures will be finally released.

The deadline will be the 8th of September. You can post and change your answers as long as we don't have an official confirmation.

GJNL will offer to the winner a full run of every Beast Saga products during all the lifespan of the line ;)


- Kind of plastic (hard,soft,both) ? If bothe please specify whch parts will be hard and which ones soft.
- Printed dices / stickers ?
- Blank launcher or specific one ?
- Removable/fixed launcher ?


The list is not closed. If you think of more I will add them to the list.

What a great idea!

Hard all over

Printed dices

I think its going to be specific

I think the lanucher is going to be fixed but will be able to remove it if forced

What about slight color variations?

There is my participation.

- Figure all soft plastic with hard launcher.
- Printed dices (with both clear and opaque ones).
- Specific launcher for every beast.
- fixed launcher.

I don't know if slight color should be added to the list as it all depends of the factory. But I can add it to the list if you want.

I've already said my piece in the other thread but I'll go with this:

• Figure soft plastic with hard plastic launcher & core
• Printed dice (opaque - it's that way in every official picture)
• Specific launcher (translucent)
• Fixed launcher

LOL, luckily I'll decide who'll be the winner than :)

- Hard Plastic
- Transparent printed dice, and some variant within it but all printed
- Generic Launcher
- Launcher can be fully removed similar to the Orbs of the LB

And for the bonus points I'd like to add the following;
- NO consistency in the joints, some figs will have the arm joints only while others have usefull (depending on the leg torso design) leg joints as well
- GOOD balance, due toe the holes in the hand which only make one position suitable (close to its boy) for displaying the fig with its shield
- NO display possible with identity emblem dice AND pushed in launcher
- 2 PROMO Figs will be the 'variants' within this line knowing the Hamster and Piranha but that's just a wild guess desperate for bonus points :)


Guess Onyxiaphil will be our judge pretty soon unless Lord will gets his BS first, but I don't trust him as an independent judge ;)

A rookie is going to win this (me):

Hard plastic, with some small parts such as hair soft
The dice will be printed, no stickers
The launcher will be specific and removable

And for the bonus point:

The figures will be very sturdy and stand well. However, there will be one minor detail (not sure what) that annoys everyone on the forum. It will bring us all together out of anger!

Here goes...


Hard or soft plastic? SOFT!! :D The only hard plastic is the plunger itself.

Printed or stickers? Stickers and the dice is transparent.

Removable plunger? Yes but it leaves a big gap in his chest.

The figure does stand pretty well with or without the plunger.

LOL

And the WINNER is.........
That's clear with the huge amount of bonus points that you'd get for having the removable plunger correct :)

Thanks for the update mate!
Guess nobody out here would've expected it to be bendable like that, its hillarious :)

Pretty sure the stickers are just for the prototype and the original ones will be printed on the dice.

Any idea if the material is similar/same as the orignal BB as it looks more flexible to me.
And how are these joints working, I supose its not some kind of poping system like the orignal arms?
Looks like if it is an enclosed system that doesn't allow to pull of legs or arms, right?

What would you say about the quality?

Some additional side by side shots would be nice as well.

Thnx mate

It's much softer and flexible than the originals. You can pull off the legs and the arms easily. As far as quality, I like it. Good details and it feels right when holding it. It stands pretty well too and since it's a bit more flexible, you can make some pretty neat poses. It's a bit tough for me to judge since the figure is unpainted.

Myself ;) Yeah I was the only one to correctly guess the all soft figure.
I was wrong about the fixed launcher so I hope that final release figures will give me more points with the printed dice and specific launcher.

I see you can remove the entire launcher, but can you remove just the plunger part from the launcher?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting the pics! I never would have guessed they would be so soft. Glad to see how the arms and legs are connected to the figure, seems a bit more sturdy than I was expecting. Too bad about the launcher, I was really hoping for a way for the dice to be displayed inside the figure without the launcher in place. Oh well...
Just a few more weeks!

So you got the plunger/launcher in one piece!?
I thought I had seen one that was in two parts that you can re-assemble yourself.
But if that's not the cae than we are forced to leave or the dice out or to get the plunger extending out of its back and put its dice in...... Taking out the whole launcher doesn't seem like an option anymore now :)

@LORD I was almost naming the winner but I just wasn't sure wether you'd have the price for the winner ready by now, but I really appreciate you gave me the honor to just announce the winner. ;)

ps. So he came without a Card as well?

It's two pieces but the end tip of the clear laucher inside is wider than the plunger. So you can't take it out without breaking the end part or cutting it with a dremmel or something.

Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea to take the launcher out because the dice won't have anything to prevent it from going back and forth inside the figure's chest. The launcher prevents it from moving when it's pulled out.

No card and no weapon. Just a little paper ad that shows the two promo figures and how to launch the dice.
