Mighty Beanz: History and Key Facts

Mighty Beanz was a range of collectable bean-shaped toys created by Moose Enterprises in Melbourne, Australia. The toys were first released in Australia in 2002, and were later released in the United States in 2003.

Each toy is decorated with a humorous illustration of a person, animal, or fantasy character. Several Beanz were caricatures of celebrities, including Elvis Presley, Hulk Hogan and Steve Irwin. Accessories and playsets were also released, including a line of Mighty Beanz racetracks. The primary Mighty Beanz game is to race the Beanz down different types of battle stages.

Mighty Beanz was the first toy line from Moose Enterprises to gain widespread popularity in the United States. Moose would later introduce another line of collectible toys, Shopkins, which were marketed alongside Mighty Beanz.
