So what’s so special about Bakugan?

First of all, the spelling is a mystery. Especially when you don’t have it in front of you. How would you spell it? It’s a bit complicated, isn’t it? A little intriguing. I even spell it wrong (backagon, bacagon, etc). But children know exactly how to write.

Second, everything is just addictive. The show, those “balls”, the characters. You can’t have just one. They come in many bright colors, sizes, and shapes. They open up to different characters and shapes, which look great. Most kids have at least 10. You need 3 to fight.

If you ask any child in elementary school (2nd, 3rd, 4th grade and up), you will get their answer. Bakugan Battle Brawler toys are so irresistible and catch on fast, in fact, they are the new Pokemon in my opinion. And better. As well as being able to wrestle them yourself, spin them on the table, you can wrestle with your friends at recess, they are “portable” and can fit in your pocket, purse or backpack. And as a Pokémon, practice math at the same time. A new Pokémon more sophisticated and higher technology. There are cards, “balls” or battle fighters and action figure characters. And of course a great TV show, DVD and chapter books. There’s a battle arena that’s great to play at home and plenty of toys that come out regularly. They sell out every morning at our local Target, so the best place to buy them is online.

So what is Bakugan all about? Just throwing some plastic balls at a card and playing the game?

Do not! Not only, and only that… there is much more. There is a whole world of Bakugan, a whole story that goes with it. Dan and his friends are finally trying to save the earth and the parallel universe Vestroia from the Bakugan monsters, so they fight and fight to win. Dan and his young warrior friends initially thought the cards they found and battled were just a fun game, but the characters on the cards were Bakugan monsters with their own agenda and it has become a race to restore peace to all. the universe.

Bakugan graphics are outstanding. The bold colors and designs of the characters and environment are cool and outrageous. Think purples, reds, blues, and greens of fantasy, foreign territory, and outer space. The posters look just as awesome as the cards and the TV show. They will definitely transform your bedroom or game room.

So if you’re looking for something fun, fantastic and a little different this year for Christmas… you’ll know what to buy. And, don’t forget the stocking stuffers.
