LOL @ how everything has at least one mistake. Draciel S has a yu-gi-oh card called Great Moth as its bit-beast XD

To be fair, those box images are probably a lot closer to their contents than those on most fakes.

It is not by Takara for sure, so the title is a lie at least.
So... fake or real?
They could be Hasbro, if that is yours you can look at the instruction manual (you may have to open it) and look for a logo.
That is by Hasbro, so it is real.
Oh, I should have mentioned in my post that oJMPx had PM'd me and I'd already verified the authenticity about 12 hours before your posts, haha, sorry!
All the right logos are there, so I doubt it. The symbols are just not Japanese though : it may be the Chinese version of it, or Hong Kong's before they just kept the same writings like now in Metal Fight Beyblade.
Just got these in from a junk eBay lot. I did end up snagging a legit Driger V and a remote Dranzer V, but these 2 I can't tell if they're fake or not. My guess is yes, but I'd like a second opinion Smile

Thanks!
The Pegasis is legit from the looks of it - from a gan gan galaxy gift set hasbro did.

As for the Knight Dranzer, check the base and see if the outwardmost rim inside the bey has the © Takara/Hasbro etc markings on it - if not, it's fake. I don't know of hasbro releasing any gold plated eight wides though (that is a hasbro mold of it) - check to see if it's plated at all, if that's the color of the metal that part is fake, otherwise it might be custom done or something, IDK.
I don't see why Pegasus wouldn't be real.
Turns out the Knight Dranzer is real!
Somebody can comment, Sometimes the TOMY or Hasbro logo cannot be found in the parts, but you will see this symbol below. You can also see this in the MFB release.
When I see this I am confident it's genuine.

Hi, can anyone tell me if this Dranzer S is real? Made in Korea, has SOK on the front but also a shiny label next to it so it could be genuine.

It is real, SOK means sonokong; the Korean manufacturer of beyblades.
By how shiny it is, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it is.

That is also sometimes present on fakes, not commonly, but it happens.

It's genuine, but the fact it's a sonokong release of a Pre-G-Revolution beyblade means the parts are smaller than Takara/Hasbro ones, resulting in some incompatibilities (I think there's a link to the blogpost where I went into detail in my signature), and the molding quality is generally poorer than Takara/Hasbro too.

Thanks very much th!nk, I asked this because I bought a Sonokong Dranzer V from the same people; the plastic seems fine except the stickers have poor adhesive and weren't cut brilliantly. I'm thinking that it's the manufacturing of Sonokong or simply because it's old stock that wasn't stored at an optimum. I'm ordering this Dranzer S anyway, there aren't many places I can get one - especially NIB!
Oh no, most stickers barely work anymore since those Beyblades are a decade-old. However, that only accounts for the adhesiveness, not the poor cutout.
This is probably a noob question but are Hasbro bay blades fine??

Yes. Yes, it is.

Yup. Takara Tomy is fine.
