General Hasbro BEYBLADE:Metal Fury/Shogun Steel/Beyblades Legends -FALL 2014 [HOBBY]

What I think of the new names:
  • Ninja Salamander. Why ninja? Salamander is what the name was going to be for Saramanda, but it still sounds pretty cool.
  • Samurai Ifrit. Eh, It sounds pretty normal, but I think Ifraid is better.
  • Guardian Leviathan. It sounds normal as well.
  • Pirates Kraken. Sounds normal as well... again.

I'm thinking they will name Archer Gryph, Archer Gryffindor.

EDIT: I also <3 that red Phoenic that I will definitely keep mint.
I think Hasbro is definitely going in the right direction. I love how Zero-G stadium are now available in the US. (One would assume that a individual stadium's would be sold for around $10-15, following the usual pattern of stadium releases in America) Most of the beys look fairly untouched too! ...well except some of my favorite Zero-G beys....Here's what I think!

Pros:
Lovin' most of the recolors. Especially the Phoenic and Orojya. I really love the new Phoenic color scheme. Couple that chrome wheel with a red E230GCF from RBV1 and you are all set!

Cons:
Orange Bahamdia? I'm really hoping that it is a special edition and not the regular release. A bit disappointed in Killerken's facebolt. Why did they need to get rid of that beautiful purple/red? That is my favorite stone face! It doesn't help that mine broke too...

Petition this, please. Right now. Somebody.
Yeah that orange was very ugly, but hasbro is on a random rainbow rampage "RRR". There is no telling what will hapen next for example we could get a yellow samurai pegasus XD
They probably rename Archer Gryph to Archer Griffin/Griffon
Very impressed Hasbro! Haha love the new Box art work! I also love how some of the Crome Wheels are Painted! It seems like only yesturday Zero-G was realeased and now BOOM! Hasbros got em!
That was already posted a few pages back by Kai-V.

Really looking forward to Shogun Steel so that E230 would be way easier to get. XD
Oh wow, I have nothing but good things to say about Hasbro now. Seriously, these guys are doing wonders for our hobby, even if they like to make goofy spin-offs. I can't wait for the easily available Chrome (Warrior) wheels, the influx of new testing, and I'm even a fan of a lot of the name changes they made (THANK YOU FOR SPELLING SYNCHROME WITH AN E EVEN THOUGH THAT SEEMS WEIRD NOW)! To top it off, even the Hasbro rep in the video was able to say "Let it Rip!" in a way that made it almost sound cool :o

Now all Hasbro has to do is come up with some new releases of their own and I will never doubt them again
Hopefully they will release them with stickers cause i dont see printed on the warrior or chrome wheel
Nice work Hasbro! I would definitely buy those Beys. The Pirates Orojya and Thief Phoenic look very nice; especially the Chrome Wheels.

Not that much of a fan of "BeyWarriors" though.
This is good news Smile

Thanks for the shares, and I hope Dragooon gets a black recolor... Please

Well, Hasbro is worthwhile now, let's hope they keep up the good work.
Haha, when we saw the pictures of metal fury in 2012, everybody was like : I hate you hasbro!
And now everybody is like: Love you hasbro!
I AM IN LOVE WITH THAT RED PHOENIC!

Same here, when I first saw the spinning action figures, I thought that was the main toy line. I was so mad, then I saw the beys and I calmed down. I also had brain trauma cause of how awesome the beys were.
No metal stone face? Ah well I expected that but I wonder why it wasn't put on.....

Was it too expensive or did they think it's dominant? But I don't know

Too bad but if they do release it i hope it won't come in a game only.
It would be cool if hasbro would release metal stone faces like TT does and that gun looking launcher, for metal fury we did not get anything (rev up, wind & shoot ... )

Hm, 'wonders for our hobby', sure, the basis is to actually release the toys for a hobby to exist, but like any good hobby, there has to be a form of competition, so that is still only provided by us ...


About the "Warrior Wheels", like Kei mentioned, I do hope now that he just confused the parts and that that is the Crystal Wheel's dub name now. That would be just alright, not that big of a deal.


JinbeeTheShark, of course a Metal Stone Face would make the product cost more, by one or two dollars, but more importantly, Hasbro has just never released a Metal Face inside a widely available Starter, so they should not have been expected to do so now.
Well, anyways, it doesn't look like Hasbro's taking any chances for the Shogun Steel line after all the mistakes they made with Metal Fury. The fact that they're [seemingly/most likely] releasing everything normally, plus with a few excellent additions like the recolors and the Zero-G-like stadium in the annual set, makes it seem like an apology to all the fans who held out.

Metal Fury actually does have a launcher: a green recolor of the Rip Gauge launcher, which I haven't seen anywhere. Most stores are still selling the Metal Masters launchers and accessories anyway (at least by me).

Most likely reason: kids are more likely to recognize "Ninja" than "Shinobi."
I hope hasbro will release this launcher:

Yay,so it is official that hasbro will release zero-g(shogun steel)!Those beywarriors look really cool and the recolors in the double packs are awesome!Well,I didn't expect the Cyclone stadium(or whatever you call it)to be translucent.
I see a pic of a starter from pirate orochi with a blue chrome wheel, and from thief phoenix a red wheel, will hasbro release the normal ones? Like that orangebGladiator Bahamdia, i hope they will sell the normal one, not that one...

Maybe in the other multi-packs or other sets. It's still too early, but we'll learn more later on maybe around summer.
Wow the Red Phoenic looks really cool I hope they make Dragooon White though
A black dragooon would be awesome!
I was abought to say that, and yes it would be an ideal pic up for everyone in the beyblade comunity ^-^
