A LEGENDARY Battle Beasts Collector — Calling It Quits?!

Video Description

Jay McManus has been collecting Battle Beasts and Laser Beasts for 25 years, and his collection is legendary. Now he’s selling everything. I traveled more than 1,300 miles to Branson, Missouri to meet Jay — a longtime Instagram friend and a mythical name in the Battle Beasts community — and to see one of the largest and most valuable Battle Beasts collections ever assembled. A hoard valued at nearly $60,000, tucked away inside a single unassuming tote box. Inside was almost everything a collector could dream of: Ultra-rare Laser Beasts, Canadian War Monsters & Greek Battle Beasts (Tepato Maxoi), SD Beasts, Gumball Beasts, original GodBeast Customs, Punch-box prizes, and mail-away exclusives. Rarities almost no collector has handled in person And yes — I had the chance to buy the entire collection. Did I? Well… you’ll have to watch and see. Along the way, we dive deep into the lore behind: • The infamous Yellow & Maroon Battle Drills • The nearly mythical Blue Battle Drill • The Striped Clear Carp — arguably the most valuable Battle Beast ever made • Jay’s decades-long journey as a collector, curator, and icon in the hobby This is more than a toy pickup. It’s history, community, nostalgia, and one of the biggest vintage toy buys of my entire life. If you love Battle Beasts, Laser Beasts, 80s toys, rare collections, or insane toy hunts… you’re going to want to see this.
