@ Gaddiko: I don't think I've seen that one.

I just ordered all 5 dragon type B-Daman and they should be here in the next couple of weeks. I actually had Dracyan and Dragren before, but a fatal accident led me to have to get new ones...

I intend to review all of them eventually in video form, but I've already made a review of my initial Dracyan. If you could give it a look, and maybe some feedback, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

I also have a review of DHB Cobalt Blade on the channel, if any of you are interested.

I've returned from the land of spells and fairies.

I've also obtained some of the old-fashioned Strike Shots from Battle B-Daman (purely by surprise too), so I'm testing how they work with Cross Fight models.

Also, if anyone's interested, here's a set of (most of) the first few competitive B-Daman.

I really want that set ;_;

Flipping dog toys are the medium that the stock market should be measured by.

why does everyone say "Tune Nap Gear"? I bought the Power Mantle and it says on the little paper inside of it in english "Tune-Up Gear". Not ranting on you Rollout, Ive just noticed it in general. Great review of Dracyan.

BlackAce: I have been looking at Super B-Daman for a while, alot of them have really unique gimmicks but they are so damn expensive its insane... What Strike Shots did you get?

I remember this from when I was younger, I had a 'Cobalt Blade' shooter, it was quite amusing to play with haha. Hope this goes well.

I did notice it a little strange to be called "Tune Nap", and at the time I filmed that review. I was just familiarizing myself with Cross Fight, though. All of the eBay auctions say Tune Nap and I suppose - (literately translated maybe?) - the kanji reads Tune Nap. Probably just Engrish.

I always thought Tune Up made a lot more sense and sounded better, but until I saw that Tune Nap was just bad translation and on the website it actually says "Tune Up Gear" I just thought it was official terminology.

Have you got any other Tune Ups, other than the power mantle? Are any of them particularly worth getting? I always thought the grips, barrels, and especially (if you consider them Tune Up Gear) die cast cores looked like they weren't worth their expense.

sadly I dont have any others, so far I havent seen any difference with the power mantle equipped, but I havent done any absolute tests, I need something to measure speed/force though, Im just firing from my lap at my bucket-o-balls. Based on experience with past B-Daman though it should be worth it.

I just put a white finish 1ft by 4ft shelf on the floor and shoot targets (my old Battle B-Daman ones) across that. If you have heavily carpeted floors like I do, it's a fantastic alternative to an official stadium.

Now if only I could make my own Break Bomber tower somehow...

so I actually did some tests last night, basically a component comparison between the Power Mantle and the regular... safety... power... thing... Anyways, the only thing that appears to be different about them is the case appearance, functioning parts are basically the same in design and strength (the Power Mantle tab piece has maybe a gram less of plastic to it), so if it works then its cause of magic or the only actual power piece is the pad on the back. On my Stroke Core it actually did worse then with the regular mantle... so I hold it as a waste of money, but if someone has solid evidence that its better then Ill eat my own post

Maybe the power mantle was made more with the original Cross Fight Penguins in mind?

Anyway. What Cross Fight B-Daman do you own? And what are the differences in the cores? I Always thought Stroke Orochi, Round Tigare, One-Sided Sharks, and Roll Sasord all had kind of generic uninteresting cores. I do like the track for the trigger on the back of Orochi, though. I always hate it when B-Dama drift to the left or right because of the way the trigger wiggles.

I have Drazeros and Orochi, I chopped up Orochi to make the parts for Titanknight. So know I have Twin=Titanknight and Stroke=Drazeros.

From what I can tell the core itself is fairly uninteresting, the things that make them unique is the triggers and any back parts. Like Shark's wing grip and Orochi's guide track.

Something I noticed about the Twin Core, even though it has the holes on the back for the Trigger Guide and the Wing Grip... I dont think they fit.

I'm working on making a Break Bomber tower out of Lego. It's almost finished. I just need to work out some errors in the way the blocks fall and how to secure it to the table/shelf.

I'll definitely have pictures and maybe a video once it's complete!

Just got the first of the dragons I ordered! I think it's Dravise. I'm waiting until I get all of them to open any of the boxes. Then all open them all at once like Christmas!

BTW. Does anyone have both Force Dragren and Round Tigare? How worth the expense of Tigare is Perfect Dragren?

Hey guys, i'm back off holiday, alot's happened huh? well its nice to see we have some new posters, and I did some training while I was away...

I have a choice of:
Accele Dracyan
Smash Dragold
Twin Drazeros

Also, I will purchase This.


Witch B-Daman Should I Pick?
And no, I do not want Force Dragyen or Rev Dravise...
Personally, I'll Probably go for Acelle Dracyan, but I Need You Guy's Opinion.

I personally only own Dracyan and Dragren as I type this, but I have Drazeros and Dragold ordered and coming in the mail very soon.

Dracyan is a fantastic B-Daman. It's a great introduction to Cross Fight and has a great gimmick and solid feel. It's obviously also the main protagonist's B-Daman, so there's that perk.

Drazeros looks fantastic though he is the most expensive of the bunch - if only by a little. Great colors, awesome gimmick, (although I'm not sure how useful) and fantastic molding on the wings and head.

*EDIT* - Just got Drazeros today. I have to say, the way you hold the wings is extremely weird. I'm not sure if I like it or not. I'll have to mess around with it and get used to it before I make my final decision.

Dragold seems like the most functional. It has the most play value by far of any other B-Daman in the series and if you're looking for gimmicks and fun over looks and icon value, then this should be your pick. Although, I'm not sure how I feel about the clear plastic and some of the extensive play value is lost if you do not own all 5 dragons, it's definitely still a powerful contender.

It all comes down to what you perfer. All 3 seem to be great toys, and while at the moment I type this I only own 1 of the 3. Whichever you choose, you'll be happy with.

So. I just realized this oddity. On my Drazeros there's this weird mold defect on the front part of the core. It came this way out of the box.

Weird...

.

good choices, though I wish that Twin=Drazeros and Accele=Dracyan's gimmicks worked together

.

I would say that one of the loading gear is the best choice first, more marbles = better, after that I think that a barrel would be good, all the new B-Daman have a built in power accessory.
