Toys and Games Reviews of Bakugan Deka Bakugan (Bakugan May Vary)

Customer Review: Megasized Bakugan
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a supersized Bakugan figure when compared to the original line of Bakugan figures. Even the second generation Bakugan B2 figures shy in comparison by the sheer size. The unit is solid in construction and more durable than the smaller counterparts. Rolling this figure on the Battle Arena is a little awkward given the sheer size (palm roll) and landing onto the metallic gate card is more challenging. No other Bakugan will be able to land onto a card (at least if it is centered), if this monstrosity is on the card.

Since these figures are harder to find than the 'slightly less than impossible' to find Bakugan figures, your child will be considered very lucky to have one of these. Since we only have one, it is hard to say what the Power Levels will range for this product. It is about the size of a 5 year old's fist so fitting into a pocket would be cumbersome and impractical. It will not fit into any conventional Bakugan case, either.

These retail for about [...] depending upon the retail store. Aftermarket sales run [...], if you are willing to buy one. I am constantly looking for these in the retail stores but it will have to wait until after Christmas.

VERDICT

Highly recommend adding one of these to your collection.

Description of Bakugan Deka Bakugan (Bakugan May Vary)

These over-sized collectible warriors morph when placed on their Metal Gate Card. Bakugan fans can collect and display all four. Pick from Dragonoid, Fear Ripper, Saurus and Juggernoid. Spin Master. Ages: 6-11.
The popular and fun anime TV series "Bakugan Battle Brawlers" has spawned this strategic game that pits a variety of "Bakugan warriors" -- such as "Juggernoids," "Fear rippers," and "Robatallians" -- against each other for points. With this Bakugan Deka Bakugan, kids aged four and above will enjoy the challenge of earning points by rolling their Bakugan (or shooting them from a launcher) onto magnetic cards where the plastic spheres burst open to reveal the fearsome warrior apparatus inside. Kids will also love the way the Bakugan transform suddenly into warrior mode, and fans of the show will have an especially good time with the game.



Deka Bakugan are nearly the size of a softball for super-sized fun. View larger.

At a Glance

Ages: 6 to 12
NOTE: The Bakugan Deka Bakugan includes a randomly selected single Bakugan Deka warrior. It does not include the optional launcher.

Ready, Set, Play!
The mission of Bakugan game play is to battle against other Bakugan to win the points awarded on the cards by getting your Bakugan to land on card. Players will love pretending to be one of the various characters in the show, such as the fiery 12-year-old leader "Dan" or the wise "Marucho," and they gain a deeper understanding of the cards and warriors as they play.

The Bakugan Deka doesn't come with instructions. The Starter Pack and Battle Pack both have instructions, however, so if your child is a newbie, it might make sense to get one of these first. You can also consult the Bakugan Web site, which does a good job of explaining the different types of cards and warriors. The game itself is fairly straightforward but if your child has never played before, you might have to help him or her to understand the rules -- after reading and understanding them yourself.

The bad boys of the Bakugan world, the Dekas are bigger and even more fun to play with than the standard Bakugan. Almost as large as a softball, but much lighter, the bigger, beefier Dekas add a new dimension to Bakugan play. Though not pocket-sized like the other Bakugan, your child will still love battling with the Dekas and collecting the different warriors.

Exciting Magnetic Action
The Bakugan come in lots of colors and varieties that make them fun to collect and trade. Most of them are pocket-sized and easy for your child to carry around and bring over to their friend's houses. The Dekas are are much bigger than the standard Bakugan, but still lightweight. Having a magnet that activates the warriors is a clever idea that adds excitement to the game. The optional Bakugan Launcher (sold separately) is a great accessory, with three shooting modes ("curve," "angle, and "distance"), but it doesn't come with any instructions.

Room for the Imagination
We like that this that this game combines skill (aiming your Bakugan) with strategy (placement of the cards). We also enjoyed the way the warriors pop open on the magnetic cards -- although sometimes they do it even when they don't land on the cards. Being unfamiliar with the TV show, we felt a little lost at first in the world of Bakugan. But with the help of the colorful, animated Bakugan Web site, we got the gist of what the game is about and how to play. Our attempts to fire the launcher proved somewhat difficult and instructions would have helped. But the launcher isn't necessary. Kids can simply roll the Bakugan like marbles for a fun and action-packed game with their friends.


What's in the Box
One Bakugan Deka warrior.
