As I was passing through the Beyblade section of TRU today, I spotted one of these little oddities for about 5 dollars. I was curious and had money to spare,so I bought one for fun.
And I found myself very amused by this little thing's power.
This is not a normal size Beyblade mind you, this is a..."baby" Blade.
The keychain is on the launcher itself, with the ripcord going through the curve at the front. The launcher also features 2 "arms" to hold your baby Beyblade in place.
You launch it,of course by pulling out the cord. The cord is much more fragile than traditional winders,so caution is necessary.
But the real impressive part,comes from the "baby's" performance in Beybattle.
I managed to knock out the full size Storm Pegasis 1/3 times with it,using a full power launch.
From what I can tell,the tip isn't rubber,but painted. It simulates the action of RF well enough though.
And this little guy is DENSE. Comparison wise, it's about .75x as heavy as its big counterpart, and it's 1 inch in diameter.
I like what Basic Fun and Hasbro have created with this product.Although the lack of customization is a shame, the idea of small MFB opens up some new ruleset ideas (at least in my mind).
Overall, for fans of MFB, and for people who just want to take a piece of Bey with them where they can't normally, and even for serious competitors to some extent, this is a great thing to get.
