My vote is for the snake. I really like the way they used 3 snakes to make one figure. Plus I think they could have done a better job on this figure.....something about the head never struck me as being correct.

[meatcutta78]

Sawtooth Shark,Gets my vote.
I love both of these figures,but in the end the Sharks armor did me in.
I really love how they added all of the fins to his armor.The paint scheme is also great!

[Czarcher]

Shark for me. I like the snake as well,but it always bugged me that the snake looks like he has 2 right arms!

[musclemenkids]

Damn! there have been a few rounds where neither figure really grabbed my attention but i like both these characters, i went with the snake tho i like the hand design, the vibrant green skin colour is nice too and snakes are just the most awesome creatures on the planet, bar spiders perhaps. i really like the shark though... i want a shark and always did when i was a kid, i had the snake though and i really liked him, very cool

[lhssenior]

Had to go with the Snake here (sorry Eaon) The way they made him really reminds me of King Hisss from He-Man with all the snakes coming together to form one creature. The Shark would definitely kick his ass in a fight though, that's one BEEFY shark!

I was torn. It was a very hard choice. Having maid my LB Shark I love that figure. But I also love the Snake. I finally had to choose one and the snake won.

Well, I really like both of these figures, cause I had them since I was a kid.

However, I dislike the Snake for the opposite reason that CCV does like him. I didn't like how they used three snakes to make him. However I also dislike the way he looks like he has 2 right arms like Meatsy said.

I'm voting for the shark. The colors are perfect the design is perfect and the armor with the fins are perfect. I mean crap even his trident weapon is the shiznit! Just a great figure all around.

I would like to see the shark go far in this tourny.

[Scumdogg]

I do love the shark figure, and i definitely need to score one for my collection. His armor is really the best part about him though, the teeth could've used some paint to make them stand out. That little change probably would've elevated the shark to perfection.

Triple Threat Snake has been one of my favorites from day one of collecting Battle Beasts though. While the "two right arms" thing does bother me a bit, it's not really enough to hurt such a cool figure. I love the color scheme, and he's got great feet when the feet are typically one of the weakest parts of a Battle Beast sculpt. He's one of the few figures i've bothered to get two of already, and i could probably stand to have a couple more. Hell, he was even the subject of my most recent fanart. Gotta go with the snake.

I went with the shark. Although the snake is cool, he's also pretty weak-looking. The shark has a cooler weapon and a badder attitude. And I agree with czarcher and the gang about the snake's arms.

[Donkeykid77]

I missed out on voting yesterday,
but am glad to see Lizard advancing!

That said, I hope Triple threat Snake can pull the same off here.
I love the heavyweight shark, but his armor is not that great,
whereas the Snake has 2 highpower blasters incorporated in his.
That and the fact he was one of the coolest figures to play with as a kid,
makes me tie this round for now...

As for weapons, I like both,
and colorwise they are equally 'ok' imo.

One of those first rounds that shouldn't be two killer figures.
I went with TTS because he is the leader of my evil battle beasts while Shark can only hope to be a hired thug. Although either one of these advancing is alright with me.

[koppenschevelle]

Man, this was the toughest so far of all the rounds I have voted in. These two are two of my favorite Battle Beasts figures, and I honestly don't have a favorite between the two. The shark just looks beefy and strong like a real killer in battle. The snake looks weaker, but in my storyline Triple Threat Snakes are fast, agile ninjas serving Gruesome Gator, so their look fits with my character for them very well. Also, as far as the two right hands thing, what I do is I swap one arm between two snakes. Then you have a snake with both hands going into his body and one with both hands going out. It adds variety to my army and makes the snake look a little better.

Ultimately I had to go with the snake. I love the Shark, but I have my massive army of snakes. Anytime I see a snake figure anywhere, I always try and snatch one up.

It's funny though. I sort of feel like this is almost a battle between me and Roland13. His shark army pitted against my snake army. We both have basically the same size armies. Right around 70 sharks for him and 70 snakes for me, with different variants for both of us. That would be an interesting battle, although I think the sharks would have the edge. The snakes rely on speed and numbers, but if the sharks had the same numbers, it would be a tough battle for the snakes to win. Unless they had their army commander King Cobra. Then it would be a lot closer.

The nonthreatening Brontosaurus looking guy or the I'm gonna bite out your throat guy?


I'll take the throat-biter. He just looks like he'd kick your ass (then eat it).

[Ghost Lion]

Whew another tough one. Either one of these against ALMOST any other first series beast I would vote for, but I went with the Shark this time for his mean look and little details like the hatch by his heart. As a kid I would always imagine the hatch opening and being able to remove his heart. Ge was also the leader of my evil beasts and the snake just a minion.

[CCVegita]

The shark wins 20 to 14
