Battle Beasts!
FIRE! WATER! -Water puts out Fire!
Battle Beasts!
WATER! WOOD! -Wood beats Water!
BATTLE BEASTS!"
Anyone remember
BATTLE BEASTS? They came out in
1986. I was too old to play with them, but when has that ever stopped me? Battle Beasts were little 1" tall figures with very little articulation; their arms moved. They came in two-packs and were
humanoid Animals of battle. Each character fought for either
FIRE, WOOD or
WATER.

They had a small
heat-sensitive sticker on their chest, which when rubbed, would reveal which side they were on.
99.9% of the characters were pretty lame. But I tend to find that in every toyline there's
usually atleast
ONE semi-cool looking character. Battle Beasts had
ICKY IGUANA! And yes, I had him and still do to this day. I don't remember who he came with in his 2-pack. But I do know whoever he was, he went in the trash immediately.
WATER BEATS FIRE!

Battle Beasts were awesome! I only have the Bulldog left over from my youth, but have since picked up a Seahorse and a Boar at a couple garage sales, many years apart.
The Bulldog no longer has his rub sign, but the Seahorse has a faint Wood sign, and the Boar's Water sign appears nicely! No weapons either. I plan on posting them to my blog soon, so stay tuned!
holy crap! i totally remember those. RAD.
man.. what happened to toys?
My favorite was the Bat! I still have em all.
Made a MINT selling these on Ebay!! Sold the junk for nearly $300.
I don't tell you enough, Jim, but JimSmash! is the absolute best! :)
