Beanbots Are Here!

2009-05-14T08:25:00.000-07:00

The Beantown Beanbots are now available online! Check out the 12 new Beans, each with their own Beanbot, or pick up a 3 pack and save a few bucks! Each Beanbot consists of a 12 piece, fully interchangeable construction system and includes 2 additional bonus building parts in every package. Combine them with the Beantown Spoon Racers and other Beantown Beanbots to customize your very own exciting creations!

It has been an exciting but long process to get these Beanbots made, and we want to thank everyone for their patience and support over the years. We are truly happy with this new line, and hope that everyone has fun exploring the endless possibilities. We will be posting custom Beanbot/Spoon Racer configurations right here on the blog.

The new Bean buzz...

2009-01-27T19:04:00.000-08:00

We've been very busy around Beantown lately- next month we will be debuting the Beanbots at the Toy Fair International in NYC. As promised, here are a few more sneak peeks at the new characters featured in Beanbot Series 1. Above is the leader of the pack, Bionic Bean. The All-Star Bean is always first in line when it comes to exploring new grounds, and it seems he has a never-ending arsenal of hats and suits to adapt to any situation.

Here we have Flymite. Word is that he can be seen buzzing around this site somewhere...

Finally we have Iron Oink. Not much is known of this mecha-bean. Some say he looks strangely similar to the rare bean known as Oscar... Stay tuned as we will continue to give you exclusive looks at new characters!
