Problem is we don't know much right now. Going off of the promotional Battle Beast that was handed out, the size of the Minimate is a little bit taller than a vintage Battle Beast. It came with one weapon much like the vintage ones did as well.

But we have been given zero information about the retail plans for Battle Beasts unfortunately. Everything seemed on hold, or up in the air all throughout last year.

If they go by their current Minimate sales structure I would assume that we could find these guys at TRU's with a few exclusive to specialty stores like comic book stores. Vintage Beasts were sold predominantly in two-packs much like most Minimates are today, but there were a few multipacks (also like Minimates are today).

The x-factor was at SDCC they had some static statues on display that were obviously not Minimates, and not even close to the same scale, so I am not quite sure where they are at with their product right now, or what direction they plan on going. But don't worry, I am a huge Battle Beasts fan so I will be paying close attention to this and will be providing more information as I hear it.

I can provide images sometime when I am at home, comparing the newer promotional Battle Beasts Minimate to some of the vintage ones as well.
