Toy Information
Series: Beast Team
Company: King Kong King / Leader Shine
Year: 1990s
Country: China

Intro
There is always something new and odd I find out about these toy molds and here is one of them! These versions are released by King Kong King and released by toy company Leader Shine and they have a new look than the original Fighting Animals.

Toy Packaging
5 Set Pack

A large carded complete 5 set pack of the Beast Team by King Kong King. They are ordered alphabetically from A, B, C, D, and E just like Leader Shine releases. Sadly I can't find any official source information on the toy company that released these versions and going by what I see. One thing is certain these molds are the same as Leader Shine releases with slight alterations with the paint jobs and weapon accessories.
Some of the toy names are changed by their actual animal based forms, otherwise all remain the same as many other releases. What is misleading is the incorrect grammar for the names, you have B who is spelled Black Leopards which clearly doesn't make sense since he is his own individual Black Leopard. So I just renamed them in this post how they correctly should be spelled.
Overall the

The Toys

Beast Modes
As they appear, all are the same molds by Leader Shine and released by King Kong King. What this company does differently is take the molds and give them interestingly new unique cool slight repaints, detailed pre-applied stickers, and painted colours on the chrome weapon accessories which I've never seen before with other versions.which I really love!
The quality of these versions feel more hollow and lighter to the point where I can play around with them more than the original versions.
The new changes are really pleasing to look at, they feel more brighter and contrast individually well.
My favourites parts are the new stickers added to give them more robot tech designs to their toy parts and the colour painted chrome weapon accessories really gives them unique colour characteristic traits. 


Tiger Soldier: Tiger Mode
Comes with 4 pre-applied stickers and 2 weapon accessories.

Black Leopard Soldier: Black Leopard Mode
Comes with 4 pre-applied stickers and 2 weapon accessories.

Lion Soldier: Lion Mode
Comes with 4 pre-applied stickers and 2 weapon accessories.

Leopard Soldier: Leopard Mode
Comes with 4 pre-applied stickers and 1 weapon accessory.

Wildcat Soldier: Wildcat Mode
Comes with 6 pre-applied stickers and 1 weapon accessory

Robot Modes
As with their Beast modes they look great in Robot Modes too! All stand out vibrantly and are fun to play with. One thing that is unfortunate sometimes is you don't get is fully painted or not painted robot eyes, which on the packaging it shows they should and I only have Black Leopard's properly painted, so please be wary!

Trademark Stamps
Here are the Leader Shine trademark logos, however the only member missing a trademark stamp is Lion Soldier who instead just has Made in China stamped which is strange or its just mine I got.

2 Set Packs

The 2 Set Packs are really nice by King Kong Kong. They packaged 2 members 1 in Robot mode and 1 in Beast Mode which I think shows the variety the toys offer and how they present themselves. What's different about the back packaging from the 5 Set Pack packaging is they have pictures of the Beast modes instead of the Robot modes.

Outro
It is a fun set I enjoy and it is good to learn there is always other interesting and unique versions released from the original Leader Shine versions.
I hope you enjoyed the review!
