General Monsuno Thread

This is for discussing MONSUNO it's this new TCG/Action Figure game I picked up a couple at target today. It's a mix of Beyblade/Bakugan/Pokemon. I bought DriftBlade and BackSlash. there is also a TV show on nicktoons.

That would belong in the Media forum.

The toys look like the least inspired creation ever.

Hazel · Mar 03 2012 09:10 PM

I saw some of these today, and I really have to agree with To... they seem to've very much ripped off every other series on their aisle(Pokémon, Beyblade, and Bakugan) in TRU.

I found the stadium at my local target, for a split second I thought it was an actual beyblade stadium until I noticed it said "monsuno" on it. Pinching_grin

So Far East Movement did the show's theme song

Wait, wut? The song itself is kind of awkwardly done (if they had to use the song I would've started it at 28 secs in) and given the target demo won't know who Far East Movement are it makes it a very confusing decision.

That's exactly what I thought! I was like "Wow Hasbro, new stadium, I likey!" And then I picked it up and saw Monsuno and was like "...." -__- I feel like trying it anywats though haha.

If it was curved on the inside, like a bowl, it would be like a Hasbro/SpinMaster Stadium, but better.

Brittany Mason · Mar 27 2012 04:13 AM

I want a monsuno action figure soooo bad,but my mom is to lazy to take me to the store! : p

Brittany Mason · Mar 31 2012 01:12 AM

I just got Lock! I had to work my but of doing choars to get it though Pinching_eyes_2

PhantomKid · Mar 31 2012 01:38 AM

I have 4: Lock, Evo, Wind____ and Backslash(?)

Nuzumaki90 · Mar 31 2012 02:38 AM

I felt the same way about the opening for Monsuno that I did for Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal opening. The high-techy singing put me off at first but I have to admit, it's gotten to me and I like it a lot.

I'v yet to buy any seeing how I don't really know how the game works and the names are confusing.

Crab Commando · Mar 31 2012 12:56 PM

That opening song was interesting.
Anyway, can somebody explain to me how to play this and WHAT this is, exactly? It looks like Bakugan.

But yeah, that Monsuno stadium screams "BEYBLADE" right in my face.

A very obvious cash-in by a company who saw the green Hasbro and Spin Masters were pulling in and decided they wanted some of it.

I honestly don't even know why you need to spin the toys other than it being "cool". It's not like Bakugan where these monsters have hidden G power, and where the roll ends dictates the use of a card. In Monsuno it seems the only reason you spin the toys is to summon them? Err, all the toys have card counterparts, why is that needed? Well that's the funny thing, for Monsuno there's a version of the game where you don't need the toys at all. Amazing.

This project since announcement nearly two years ago has always rubbed me the wrong way. It seemed very "Me too!" and I think the product is showing that.

Anchor · Apr 06 2012 12:35 AM

I wanna try out that stadium,its tempting to buy. It looks a lot better than Hasbro Stadiums for sure,thats sort of sad too.

Thor Odinson · Apr 06 2012 12:37 AM

I picked up a Lock from TRU last Saturday. But there IS, in fact a number on each of the figures.
The figures are fun to spin and launch, but yes, not original at all...
