They look very Battle Beast-like but they're not as far as i know. Any help or hints highly appreciated! BTW: i think the right-most figure does not have the correct arm(s). Also found these two very collectable Hasbro Galactic Heroes, Jango Fett and Anakin Skywalker, and a beautiful 8" Jazwares Megaman "Bass" action figure thats badly damaged (rocket arm missing!). All the above and some other bits for just 2 euro

(It's kinda hard to explain but long story short, the Medabot's character is determined by the Medal placed in their bodies and not their outward appearance.) EDIT: Mk II, every time you post one of these threads, It's almost guaranteed that a huge wave of nostalgia is going to hit me hard... Edited by Shangyou, Sep 3 2011, 12:10 PM.

And the number of ranges and characters is unbelievably huge. the nice thing is that i can rummage thru boxes with junk (i love that!) and i often pick up some surprising finds for next to no money. finding games i dont have is getting bloody hard and a lot more expensive. EDIT: yup, they are Medabots; i've identified one of the arms that dont fit on another figure The left one with the knives is called Nin-Ninja and the other one has the body of Warbandit but the wrong torso, head and arms!

Anyway, Medabots is still popular nowadays (especially in Japan) even though the anime ended like a decade ago. There's a pretty recent Medabots DS game that came out last year: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-9g-49-en-70-3soc.html As well as some new model kits like this one that came out just a while back: http://www.play-asia.com/Medarot_DS_16_Fine_Scale_Plastic_Model_Kit_KBT10M_Gunknows/paOS-13-71-12q-49-en-70-4a11.html I'm still waiting for the Medabots DS game to get an English translation but something tells me that will never happen...

I always assumed it was just a cheap-ass Pokemon rip-off; i'm only beginning to get a bit more educated about Japanese toys / anime. Anyway, thanks for answering my question - i knew one of you guys would come through with the info i needed, excellent! Edited by Mk II, Sep 4 2011, 02:06 AM.
