Battle Beasts Minimates Desmodius - NYCC Exclusive

I don't know how I'm going to get mine yet since I can't make it to NYCC, but Diamond Select Toys announced Battle Beasts Desmodius - a black bat, based on the former Toys R Us exclusive mold.  It's a mere $6 if you get yours at New York Comic Con in October, and you probably should get one for me too.  (Or somebody.)  
It's nice to see something new for this line!  The last new release was a 2-pack in 2016.

Imaginext Adds Battle Beasts to Series 11 Mystery Figures

Mattel through Fisher-Price has released a new Battle Beasts figure!  Sort of.  The toy isn't called that, but it's clearly a 3-inch tribute to Hasbro and Takara's Triple Threat Snake.  I posted this to Twitter earlier.
