Boys were amused for about 5 minutes

I can see this toy being fun if you already have a Bakugan collection to play with. But the whole point is to "battle" so you can't play just with what's included. Would've been better if more than 1 characters was included.

Great for kids who like collectibles

I was given this toy for free by #chickadvisor and #spinmaster in return for my honest reviews. My girls were excited to receive a new toy however by the look of it I wasn't sure if they would enjoy it much. They haven't played bakugan before and are into collectibles yet. I was happily surprised that they figured the toys by themselves and were discussing points and tricks of the play. This came handy at keeping them engaged for hours during the summer break. Excitement of seeing how the ball turns into a fighting figurine and dropping them at metals to see the transformation. They want more of these now so I guess this would be their first as collectibles figures and many more to follow.

Two is better than one!

We've never seen a big Bakugan before, and the boys liked that there were 2 (one each = less arguing). King Cubbo the bear was super cute. We were surprised that he was a functional Bakugan and the crown was a fun accessory. My oldest son thought his B points should have been higher because he is a special one.
