Hasbro Beyblade X, Dranzer Spiral 3-80T Right-Spin Balance Type Anniversary X-Over Top & Launcher

The Green Hasbro Beyblade Dranzer Spiral 3-80 T (Taper) is a balance type Beyblade (Japanese spinning tops) engineered by Takara Tomy (TT; a Japanese toy manufacturer) as an “X-Over Project” or “Crossover Project” collaboration to market the newest generation of Beyblade in the US. Hailing from the plastic generation of Beyblade, Dranzer comes to the UK market in a green color Blade called “Dranzer Spiral” which is the same as Hasbro’s red US market version. “3-80,” a 3-sided rachet, and the bit (the part of the Beyblade that makes contact with the stadium floor) called “T” which stands for “Taper” and causes the bey to speed around the stadium to make attacks at the cost of a loss of some stamina but in keeping with Dranzer as a balance type, it is able to re-adjust better after being knocked off-balance when compared to full attack bits (i.e. like Flat or Rush), so it has much better stamina while still having good enough movement to do off-balance damage to opponents. Being a plastic generation bey, Dranzer has been modified by the TT engineers with metal contact points to make the “crossover” compatibility possible into the Beyblade X meta. However, since it is plastic, it is unfortunately lighter than most of the competition and is by default, at a noticeable disadvantage competitively. For the record, it seems to be made with the same materials as its blue Japanese TT counterpart (see pic). I can confirm that the Japanese Beyblade X launchers like the TT string launcher and X winder launchers both fit nicely on this Hasbro Beyblade. In conclusion, the Dranzer Spiral Beyblade X booster offers some collectible charm with its special coloration, and should be welcomed by any fan of Beyblade nostalgia. So I therefore approve of this Hasbro booster release [believe me, this feels like a rarity for me, knowing full well of Hasbro’s sales strategy and cost-cutting measures for the last decade].

one of the lightest beyblades in the game and weakest, but my personal favorite due to nostalgia. came as advertised, no complaints.
