New Battle Strikers Metal XS -- My first work in the design

Hey everyone. I hope nobody has a problem with me posting this here.

The new battlestrikers.com website launched today with new Strikers, parts and arenas. I would normally post this in the Battle Strikers thread, but I wanted to draw your attention to it because this is the first Battle Strikers line that I co-developed. I developed the character concepts and names myself and I assisted the design team with the Weapon design and geometry and the tip geometry.

It's my hope that with these new parts we can up the level of strategy in this game tenfold. I've already played around with them extensively and I truly feel we've created something great. It's my hope that you'll all give this toy -- which I sincerely believe is the greatest battling toy since Beyblade's creation -- a chance. I'm very proud of our work on it.

Cheers,

Bey Brad
Oh, it seems to be a great design, congratulations, Brad, you succeed.
Ahh, sweet. One or two of the designs are kind of "meh", but for the most part, I like it. When is the new line coming out? (Or is it already out and I'm being dumb?)
They look cool and you can clearly see that a lot of imagination has gone into the creation process.

Can I just ask, are the stats reflective of their abilities or is it like Beyblade stats?
you work for battle strikers now? cool they sell them wehere i live ^-^ and congrats bey brad ( i used to think battle strikerswere rip offs of beyblade but seeing how nobody has a problem with them and i have read about their not half bad) but really congrats bey brad Grin
Hmm, there are a few errors on the site.
First, the 'Show Parts' section of Fangrir placed the Booster before the Tip (when the Tip was supposed to 'go first')

Second, in the Raptor view parts section of Ultimate Battle Tournament set page, you switched the descriptions of the Tip and Booster around.

Anyway, good job on introducing the new Strikers! I hope HK imports them too...
Ahaha, thanks Diamond. I will report these errors to the web team.

It's out in some locations and it's seeding out to more as we speak.

We did a lot of work on the statistics process and I'll write a blog post about them soon, but for now, I will say that they are quite reflective of their abilities for the most part.

It's good to know that there will finally be some 'real' stats from a toy company, haha.

I gotta say that Masumai is really well designed. The helmet, the armor, the Kanji for 'Samurai', and the overall color scheme is really good looking.
My personal favourites are Grimnir and X-Calibur, yet I'm still drawn to Team Predator. Weird. Maybe it's the blue?
Wow awsome new design. I especially like grimnir and x-calibur.

Predator is my fav team haha
Okay, I've warmed to all of the designs now. Sigh... I really want to buy all of these, but I would have no purpose for them. My current ones just stay on my shelf, unused.

I wonder if it would be tacky to have these be prizes at a Beyblade tournament. Joyful_3

Hurry, warn the Bey Fray!

The Mecha FX strikers are remarkable. I've never seen anything like them, and they bring a whole new edge on the game.

I'm also in awe at the new stadium, haha.
Excellent work, Brad, excellent work.

EDIT: By the way, what's the kanji on Masumai stand for?

It's Samurai. I thought you knew Japanese?
Nice! I definitely want to try some of these out at some point. I don't like all of the new designs, but Rebelon is my favourite. So sick.
I just noticed there's a lot of vibrant colour on these. Will it scrape off a la Beyblade?
Wow that's great beybrad. I'm also a battler myself,and I have eight battlestrikers.

Yes, it will scrape off during use.

I'd complain, but it's not like I battle with them anyway. Also, I bet it's impossible to stop it from scraping off.
We could probably use a special coating if you guys are OK with paying $30 per Striker Smile

Hah! Personally, I would have no problem with that. I would pay more for a pretty spinning top that doesn't get scratched up. I don't think it's a feasible plan though.
these are deffinantly the best line of battle strikers yet(my favorite) i cant wait to get my hands on all of them, i think the new stadium looks amazing great job beybrad keep up the good work cant wait till they get to the U.S, i love the game on the website to its alot of fun i hope everyone gives battle strikers a try because they are a AMAZING toy.
omg love them, i think i might actully be willing to import these dont wanna wait for them to come out here xD

nice work brad!
Dragun with the tip changing is awesome. The fact that you can change it multiple times is way too cool.
