Some genius figured out that if you take regular tops (not cool ones like a gyroscope) and dress them up as monsters kids will want them. I tried to explain to her that the entire behavior of this toy can be described by physics and that the dominant factors are likely angular momentum and friction. She wasn't having any of that though and insists that their stamina, attack type and some other anthropomorphized bullshit are the determining factors. It's like kids from the olden days arguing about who has the best marbles. So I realized that it's not actually about logic it's just about what's "hips", or "cool", or "in". But I'm a dork and I wasn't any of those things as a kid. Now I'm an old dude and I'm totally hopeless. It seems that "Takara Tomy" and "Metal Fusion" are good words to find on the box. There was also some mention of "Gunmetal Fusion" but my google-fu is too weak to figure out WTF that is. So help out a lame dad. What's the right Beyblade to get?

If you want to do this properly, you'll have to do your research via these documentaries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_(season_1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_(season_2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_(season_3) Start at Episode 1 of Season 1, go from there.

Beyblades are great if you love the sounds of ratchets clicking and hunks of plastic and metal hitting each other and a cheap polystyrene box over and over and over and over, all while your kids yell anime nonsense. I, too, am a lame dad.

Don't buy kids stupid plastic poo poo that will find it's way into a dumpster in six months. I have no kids and can serve no reasonable alternative that all parties will find favorable.

Beyblades are only entertaining if there's money on the line.

You need to get both Reaper and pre-nerf Ana to have ultimates fully charged then the Ana uses nano on Reaper as he simultaneously uses death blossom. The speed boost imparted by the old nano combined with the spinning Reaper does during a death blossom is what earns this combo the nickname "Beyblade".

If you love your kid and want to be a proud beyblade dad you should go all the way and make one out of lead (the heavier the better, I believe).

i had a younger sibling into these for a hot minute what was even more bizzare is they weren't like actual action figures or dolls that also functioned as tops, they were tops assembled out of pieces that would (in theory) change their spin pattern and how they moved around and knocked other tops but yeah it wasn't sold or distributed to kids as "hey this is zig zaggy, or part X counters part Y because of where they hit" and other physics stuff it was all about giving dumb lore to pieces of metal and plastic and pretending there were dragons and poo poo represented in the top

How are the modern beyblades different from the original ones? I played them back in the day and they were pretty neat

It turns out that what I though were "gunmetal" Beyblades are actually "shogun" Beyblades.

Luckily, I don't have to deal with that sound. She brings a bunch of them to school and plays during recess.

My nine year old loves em. He bought a ton at a yard sale for like five bucks. I just bought a bunch for him for Christmas and let me tell you, there are some serious enthusiasts out there. It looks like there's knockoff beyblades that are a lot cheaper and can be mixed with beylades but I don't know if he's a purist or not yet. I was literally googling "best beyblade" and went from there.

Back when these things first came out in the early 2000s, my little brother was obsessed with them. He eventually started making his own out of wood and metal and poo poo and they were actually pretty cool and dangerous. I vaguely remember there was this one big green one that was super OP and would loving own every other beyblade regardless of their "stats". If you can find that one it would be your best choice IMO. Edit: Just texted him. Apparently it was actually blue and it's called Seaborg 2. Thermos fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Dec 19, 2019 |
