In 1987, Hasbro imported Battle Beasts from Takara and a cult classic was born. As a kid, the idea of armored animals wearing fighting each other in a never ending duel of rock, paper, scissors was cool. Nearly, a quarter of a century later, Diamond Select Toys has resurrected Battle Beasts as Minimates. Before I get into the review, I wanted to thank Jason Hurley of Hurley’s Heroes. The Battle Beast reviewed today was exclusive to C2E2 this year, and Jason was able to grab one for me while he was there. Thanks, Jason!
