Also the price for the size of them might be off-putting for some buyers. beybrad, why do you not like the origional bitbeast picture. i loved the way they looked and when i was 8 or 9 i realy did belive bitbeasts were real, i think this will ruin a magical element to beyblades for the new generation of bladers.
Um, MFB aren't much smaller than plastics and they're slightly larger than HMS, I doubt kids losing them is going to be that big of an issue.
The price for the size ... what ...? What does the size have anything to do with the pricing?
I don't like the original bit beast picture because Jesus Christ, there's enough anime/manga about battling monsters out there. Beyblade is a pretty unique idea and shoehorning monster battling into it makes it cliched beyond belief. They served no purpose other than to be a "deus ex machina" for the main characters of the series and some carp for little kids to believe in. They were just stickers and anyone who got a "magical" element from them has severe problems separating fantasy from reality.
Then again I was thirteen when I started Beyblading so maybe that just flew over my head entirely. However, I'd rather kids focus on becoming better as Bladers rather than what vaguely-dragon-looking-thing is stuck to their Beyblade.
The Faces are a lot cooler and more unique, IMO.
