For the longest time I thought all Takara metal fight had printed facebolts up until the 4D era. Looking back now, at the early unboxing of beyblades like takara BB-28 Storm Pegasus and Rock Leone, they do not come with printed facebolts. It appears to me that Takara only started using printed facebolts for hybrid wheel system after July 18 2009 with the release of Lightning L Drago.
This means that several early beyblades like Flame Sagittario and Dark Bull never had a takara release with a printed facebolt; however, I've seen several auctions for these beyblades with printed facebolts that seem to be the original color. I am also aware of Sonokong releases of these original beyblades, but could not find any unboxings or images of the Sonokong versions besides the packaging. Were these versions the ones that came with printed facebolts?
