Sketch Saturday: Killer Carp




Vicious fish! Killer Carp was a face player in Hasbro and Takara's Battle Beasts toy line. Based around a rock-paper-scissors rumble between rubsign elements, Battle Beasts were a slew of tradable, pocket-sized uglies designed to be easily lost. Having acquired these tiny monstrosities, I doubt any boy was daft enough to risk losing them in a game of chance. These were keepers! In Japan, the figures were called Beastformers, lived on the planet Beest (natch), and enjoyed brief roles in the Headmasters season of Transformers.

Looking at this on iPhone: you'll have to excuse the yucky eraser marks, I've lost the original, so I can't do a re-scan.
