Meiji is a Japanese candy company. In 1988 they released small, super-deformed, articulation-free versions of the Beastformers via Gachapon machines. They also released a series of gold-foil "Battle Cards," featuring the painted character art from each character's original bio card and available in randomly-packed sets of cards that came with ramune-flavored candy tablets. The back of the cards featured severely truncated bios, with data for the game from the Meiji chocoball SD figures' packaging.
