Those names are correct. They weren't the first Beyblades to be released in N.A. though.

If I buy Asian versions, will the product inside the box still have the same quality and language? In other words, will the Beyblade/Stickers all be the same as the English versions? Thanks.
For those 4 Beyblades, the Takara (Japanese), Sono Kong (Korea) and Hasbro (N.A., UK, etc) versions would be the same. They are not very common anymore though.
Here is a list of the ones on ebay:
Takara Draciel S
Takara Dranzer S (Transparent Blue Version) - cooljoe-uk tends have a lot of fairly rare Beyblades.
Sono Kong Beyblade Deluxe Gold Set: This set is pretty expensive. It comes with the gold versions of Dragoon S, Driger S, Draciel S, and Dranzer S, as well as 2 Gold Launcher Grips, 4 launchers and 4 ripcords, and a stadium.
Sono Kong Dranzer S (Gold Version)
Sono Kong Draciel S (Gold Version)
Sono Kong Dragoon S (Gold Version)
Sono Kong Driger S (Gold Version)
From tisinc99:
Takara Dranzer S (Clear Version)
Aside from ebay and tisinc99, you could check the BeyMarketplace forum. Some members might be selling the Beyblades you are looking for.
