This is a pretty exciting time to be a Battle Beast collector! With several companies releasing prototypes / teasers of new "spiritual successor" lines we will soon be able to add to our collections with brand new figures. While a lot can happen between a picture of a prototype being posted online and a figure being stocked on a shelf or available for order, it's hopefully safe to say that one of these lines will be launched soon!
Let's imagine that all those lines we've been hearing about are launched some time in 2012 / early 2013- which are you most excited about / willing to spend money on?

I can't answer this poll as long as it is missing the ARMOVOR answer.

I am not too familiar with Armovor; can you share a link? If you're excited about a few different lines I'd select the last answer. It's not the most scientific poll but it will be kind of fun to see where everyone is leaning.

Also i would like them to the same size and have a similer look. Just with new animals.
I liked the ROTB Squat figures but not the longer skinny one. Its tough. Jsay

All the other lines will give their best shot to come close to the succes of the originals but this is just impossible since the design of the originals in my opinion is so detailled and timeless that it'll be an impossible task.
Its a matter of memories and the time in which they were launched....... this value is something that cannot be fulfilled with all these new lines. And to be honest I think the time has changed to much for a succesfull toyline.
Does anyone on here think that over 20 till 25 years from now the children of today would be collecting Pokemon or other toylines of today....... I don't think so.
Think we've to face the facts.......
The succes of the Battle Beasts is created by the Children of the seventies and eighties, this time has passed and it has to be a damn good line when children of today will be triggered to get away from their PC and gameconsoles. Just like before it are the children that make these lines a succes because the developer cannot live and produce for the handfull of collectors for who only the name Battle Beasts is enough.
Nothing will ever beat the orignal beasts for me.

...that and there's probably not going to be any price drops on the Lasers at this rate. It's new figures or bust from here on out!

Diamond Battle Beasts - No these are just Mini-mate styled Animal warriors.
Plastic Imagination’s Rise of The Beasts - Not interested in none articulated LRG Beasts.
Classics - I own the Classics. They are Great.
Glyos Armorvors - I don’t care for Glyos but these do show promise and remind me very much of the Classic BB Aesthetic .

For the shaky-handed, ours will be the only ones available in Toys R Us, and they'll cost less than $10 for a pack of 2. Plus, there'll be a comic you can read. A good one!

Four for us and 12 for anything they can get? Hey, I'll take it!

That's a pretty good deal. While I'm leaning towards the Beast Saga more (the aesthetic is more appealing to me), I will probably give these a shot for myself and my kids. The ram has been growing on me the more pictures I see of it.

It's funny cuz now there is going to be a battle of the beasts...
I don't think that there will be a battle. The 3 lines are all in totally different markets. The Beast Saga will be released in Japan, the Armovor will be available only through Onell site and the Minimates will be made available in Toys'r Us. The only ones that would have to make a choice are the members of the Battle Beasts community on internet. Those are not the ones that will make a line a success or a failure. This community is not large enough to have any important influence on mass market. The Beast Saga will be a hit if japanese kids decide that it should be. DST Battle Beasts will be a hit if american kids want it to be so. Even the Armovor success will be determined by the support of the Glyos community and not the BB one.

I was a skeptic at first, though after seeing the ram I'm on board. Any word on if they'll be released in TRU in Canada?
