As for why they didn't get put into production, not sure. After their first showing, they just vanished. No word on why. After that the minimates versions cropped up and took off from there.

Those were in fact another attempt to do BB. The first one has always been Minimates like and the first proto was the yellow gator that should have come with the laboratory playset. I think that those were canceled due to bad feedback about them after the show.
Ah, he is right, the yellow gator was the first proto. Forgot it was given away as a promo and within a set... not sure why I forgot about that, that design has kind of grown on me.
EDIT: If anyone might have one of the promo gators for sale, any color, wouldn't mind working something out

If I'm right these were DST prototypes shown at Comic Con last year right?

I wasn't too hot on the gorilla but I was looking forward to picking up the others, especially the rhino. Its too bad they pulled the plug on these in favor of the minimates. Oh well...I would have bought those at 14 dollars each

Seriosuly, DSTZach, you've besmirched the the name of Battle Beasts.

That seems to be the concensus. Have you not been following along?
Not sure what dwarf you're talking about, though. Bliss is the main human character, and her little brother is Tate. Wasn't sure how people would respond to them, given this forum's opinions on Earth in general, but the reviewers mostly seem to like them, and the window they provide into the action. I think they were necessary to make the story accessible to a wider audience. Check out the comic, seriously.
