#FamilyRatedClub is reviewing Spin Master Toy's Bakugan Geogan Rising. Each came with as collectible action figure and trading cards. I was given Amphrog to review. There are over 60 creatures from Vestoria the land they are from.
I had never heard Bakugan (I am shortening it) and neither had my step son (age 7) or his two friends (one 7 one 8). Like most toys the action figure is prominently displayed to entice children. It worked because within moments of the toy leaving packaging it was mailed in, it was snatched from my possession.
Not knowing what it was they ripped it open and typical of kids today in no more than 5 minutes they knew what to do with the action figure.
The Action Figure- a.k.a. the only cool part of this toy. It says collectible but as mentioned there are over 60 and they are still going.
Bakugan are magnetic toys fold into little shapes and then you drop them and they roll out in to their creature. It was cool to watch.
Novelty Wears Off-a.k.a. so what is the point of those cards?
Inside was 2 ability and 1 gateway card. Not one of the kids seemed impressed because they hadn't heard of this toy and didn't know what to do with them.
Google Help!!!!
With the kids losing interest and me not being able to give direction I looked to Google. What did I discover? Its a game. Sold in separate pieces and relying you having friends who are also Bakugan fans who also have a creature to battle yours. From there it went more in depth. Its also a t.v. show on Cartoon Network giving them a built in fanbase.
Verdict- Being a fan is definitely a requirement. Watching the action figure roll out into its creature was creative and amusing but the novelty wears off. Without being a fan of Amphrog or whatever creature you have you are not as invested. Assuming you have at least two kids who are fans or you're willing to buy for the neighborhood it is brilliant marketing.

Kid approved
We were lucky to get chosen to try this toy for free in exchange for an honest review. My son loved playing/testing this toy. The little pieces are cute and he loved when he rolled it and it opened up on the card to reveal a character. He had a great time playing and now wants more!
My son was so excited by this new Bakugan
My son loves Bakugan and this new style was so exciting. He was really impressed by the pyramid shape and he loved figuring out how to make it work. He's excited to show it to his friends and teach them how it works. Reading Bakugan cards gets him excited about reading.
Cute Little Toy
My kid was entertained for maybe 5 minutes playing with this - we could not identify what kind of animal/insect it was. Other than that, the material is of good quality, and no matter what kind of creature it is - it was cool when it opened up from being in an enclosed form.
Fun Toy!
My youngest was so excited to review this toy. The packaging was eye catching with bright colours, it was easy to open and didn’t have a lot of plastic waste.
Loved this
I gave this to the kid I babysit and he absolutely loved it! His imagination ran wild and he even grabbed his other toys to create a line up of Bakugon
My little guy live this toy!
My little guy has had hours of fun with this toy. Definitely a future purchase for him. My nephew also like to play with it. It would make a great addition to a birthday gift for any kiddo!

Bakugan is amazing!
This little toy has so much punch! My children love it. My son is now using his imagination and pretending way more than before. He is playing alone but also playing with friends and able to understand what to do. Great quality, great toy! Hands down would recommend this to any parent looking for something a little different foe their children!
6 year old loves it!
My six year old is obsessed with bakugan, he doesn't quite get the rules of the brawls yet though.
He was so excited to try out the Geogan bakugan, unlike the original round ones, this one is rectangular. It releases perfectly and is fun to put back together. The detailing is great! It's neat how it can power up his future brawls, once he learns the rules.
Huge hit with my boy!
Compact and well made
We recieved this product last week and my son loves it. It is made differently then the other Bakugans we have its a triangle shape and clicks back together effortlessly. Its bery well made seems like a stronger material which we appreciate because you can telll it will not break easily.
