Well I saw the images of the new Xcalibur, called Xiphoid Xcalibur, great name by the way. Really though, it can have the weirdest sounding name as long as the actual bey looks good...
And, to my pleasant surprise, yeah actually. Having IRL images certainly helps, but I swear it looks different from that bonkers concept art. The colours are exactly as you'd expect from Xcalibur, definitely feels like Xeno Xcalibur, which is cool since that's one of the nicest Xcalibur designs to me.
The core alignment is actually the proper alignment! Well... kind of, it feels like either the core or blade can rotate, likely as a result of losing clicks and lining it up. I imagine it's got that wonky positioning when fully clicked, but when clicked twice it lines up perfectly. It looks like a fused layer since there's no armour, and the rotation idea would work if it was fused.
It probably won't have a fused disk/driver, since those normally have plastic tabs, while this one uses metal disk tabs.

No I don't plan on doing more yet.
I should probably go back to making fan custom Zero G beyblade concepts again
