Deka Bakugan (Bakugan May Vary)
Deka Bakugan (Bakugan May Vary)
Bakugan Deka are the massive shock troops of teh Bakugan Warriors. These special edition, collectible bakugan are lethal in combat and heavily armored. Figures are approximately 4 inches when opened.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.

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

4 Stars Best gift
I gave my Grandson this toy (which I have trouble pronouncing) for Christmas.
He was thrilled because he has asked me to buy it for him. He plays with it all the time. I guess these toys are real popular at his school.
4 Stars My son loves it!
My son really likes this Bakugan. He has been wanting one of the bigger ones so I found this online and it was a hit. The one thing I was a little disappointed about was the fact that you do not have the option of choosing which large Bakugan you want. The description just says “Bakugan May Vary”. I ordered two and felt it would be fairly obvious that if I were ordering two, I wouldn’t want two of the same one. Well, of course, I received two of the same. I just ended up giving one of them to a friend of my son’s for his birthday.
2 Stars Bakugan
Did not receive what I ordered. When I received the order confirmation, after I could not retrieve my order, there was a message that original order may be substituted for what was on hand. Received a Bakugan that I could have bought at my local Target. It was big, ugly, and cheap. Will never order that junk through you again. I learned my lesson and I think my 8 year old did too.
