Yikes. Hate the Flamingo's color scheme and un-colored beak. But I really like the figure itself. The panther is kinda boring. So I went Flamingo.

[WhiteLeo]

I went with Black Panther. He is just a cool figure. I have always liked this figure.

Dang guys.....you beat me to post.

I voted for the Panter. He just looks cool, plus I never liked the blue antennas on the head of the Flamingo.

[musclemenkids]

WoW! the Flamingo really is one ugly sonavabee-eye-itch... not the easiest animal to incorporate intothe battle beast line, what really puzzles me is why they felt the need to put bolts through his head, dear god this guy is pitiful.

The black panther on the other hand is a fairly good sculpt, the eyes complimentthe black colour scheme very well. No contest for me in this round, that Flamingo aint goin no further.

[doc_moore_j]

Whoa what a surprise another cat beast. Like I said in the other thread, I'm bored of the cats. This one aint too bad, but im going with the flamingo just out of spite. Down with the cat beasts!

[doc_moore_j]

Sorry to post again, why do some beasts have a square thing on thier chest and some have the shiny circle thing?

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

I dunno....I feel about even with these figures..... I know I was going to be relaxed with my voting critiques, but I think the Panther has a MAJOR flaw. All of his black is painted on. The Panther I have has paint rubs all over his nose and hands and feet. Although I really don't like the flamingo. He is another one of those figures that stain easily...which isn't good for light colored figures.

I'll go with the Panther, his armor color is perfect and I really like the design. The Flamingo is a pretty decent attempt at making a more effeminate looking creature seem like a bad arse though.

[Scumdogg]

So...wow. This is pretty much the first round i've been completely indifferent about.

If there's one problem i have with the Beastformers line in general it's that there are WAY too many cats, and they all basically look alike. Same dumb face, same bland armor, in a variety of colors. There are SO many animals to choose from, and so many cats in the line.

That Flamingo though...he's really hard on the eyes. Just...not a great figure, even as far as the birds go. His armor doesn't fit the figure at all, and those things coming out of the side of his head have no reason to be there from a design standpoint.

I guess, when in doubt, i've gotta side with the Black Panther party.

Sorry to post again, why do some beasts have a square thing on thier chest and some have the shiny circle thing?

The Square rub signs are all battle beasts,and the circle globe signs are the laser beasts.

[SaltLakeToyJunkee]

The Frenzied Flamingo will be snapped in two!!!

[mrjayberry]

I went with Black Panther, yeah cats are getting boring but this guy is near the top of the cat heap in my book, Frenzied Flamingo got points for being one of the 5 goofiest sculpts in the line but it wasn't enough for me.

[CCVegita]

Just in case you donnt know.....
Each BB has a different heat sensative "sign" on their chest (LB just have a clear orb you can look through to see the sign). They are either water, wood, or fire. They wanted you to play with them sorta like paper, rock, scissors (fire beats wood, wood beats water, water beats fire). I think they originally were supposed to be the Autobot and Decepticon symbols....but they were never produced that way.

[tonganbynature]

Easy choice for me, Black Panther.

I have personally never liked frenzied flamingo, I only collected him to complete my set.

[Ghost Lion]

VERY easy choice for me: Black Panther. Always has been one of my all time favorites. Love the little detail on his armor and I really dig his spear weapon.

[koppenschevelle]

Yeah, this one was an easy one for me. Definately the Black Panther. The cats aren't my favorite, but compared to the Flamingo he really shines. I still have no idea where to put the Flamingo in my storyline.

On a side note, I am rather bitter that the snake lost in yesterday's vote. Very sad. My snake army is defeated.

[Donkeykid77]

Black Panther looks stronger so he got my vote.
Neither one of these is great though.
BOTH colorcombinations don't cut it.
BOTH weapons are STUPID.

DK77.

[Tortle]

As far as cats go, the panther is one of the coolest we've seen so far. The flamingo is just a disaster on all levels. Does he have handle-bars on his head?

[meatcutta78]

Black Panther gets my vote.
He is in my top 5 favorite BB.I think this figure is absolutely flawless,Thats right Flawless.

Flamingo can go puff a queer.

[BaltanII]

It's been a while since I've seen a figure this nigh-universally loathed. Where'd the three guys that voted for the Flamingo go?

[Ericnilla]

Flamingo vote #4... i love how wacky he is. look at that thing.

[meatcutta78]

look at that thing.

losing.

[CCVegita]

Panther easily wins 28 to 4.

Ill post the next three rounds up for the weekend tomorrow. They will be open until Sunday night.
