When Mighty Beanz came out with the first series of 60 Beanz in 2002, it took Australia by storm. Manufactured by Moose Entertainment, now Moose Toys, these small capsule toys were released in the United States soon after. The second series with 70 new Beans was released in the same year, confirming the success even more.
The toys were meant for different games, as they have small marble inside of the capsule, helping with the flips and stunts as you roll them around.
Moose Toys came out with different racetracks and games over the years. But the fans focused more on collecting them rather than playing, as the Beanz had illustrations of various animals, action figures, superheroes, monsters, and TV characters.
The company also helped children by releasing several collector edition sets, making the collecting easier. Those special or limited editions of Mighty Beanz are considered a rarity today, and their production finished in 2019.
Most Beanz toys are not very expensive to buy, but limited editions or collectible items can sell for good money nowadays. Learn more about some of the rarest Mighty Beanz with this top 10 list!
