    back then

    Oof, ow, ouchie

    Idk what they are now, but they were just cool looking spinning tops with sharp pokey bits to topple enemy beyblades, or more likely, to cause bodily harm to your friends, especially the diecast metal ones that had some heft to them

      Simpler plastic design I mean. I know that beyblades were always radical-goofy looking, but older ones you could still make out most of the shapes from a distance. Newer ones look like the one in the pic, 5 layers of different whatever just on the upper part. Maybe the plastic ones always looked like that and I’m just that old, ugh

      The one in this picture matches my idea of what new beyblades looked like in 2005-ish, when I was getting over them because they looked so excessively bulky. I think the launcher also saw a revision?
