Battles Just Like the Television Show
Based on the popular anime TV series, fans will get a thrill by being able to mimic their favorite characters on the show. The object of Bakugan is to capture your opponents gate cards or defeat his Bakugan. You do this by rolling your Bakugan Warriors, in marble form, into the battle area filled with magnetic cards. If you roll your marble correctly, it’ll open up into a fearsome monster.
Now, with the added control of the Hand Launcher, you’ll have an advantage over the competition by being able to shoot with more precision, and do advanced shots like side spins, curved shots, back spins, and more. With some practice, your opponent won’t stand a chance.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars It was a hit
My 9 year old son enjoyed this toy. I looked at the workmanship and it looks like it may break after several uses but only time will tell.
2 Stars “In my day, they used a thumb,” says the old man…
With the popularity of Bakugan firmly entrenched in the psyche of boys everywhere–at least until some hotter fad comes along–the need to buy everything Bakugan-related becomes a life mission for some. Hence the need for a Bakugan launcher.
At Amazon, reviews of the wearable wrist launcher (which differs from this item and has a higher coolness factor) have been universally underwhelming, so when presented with the “gotta have Bakugan” chant from our son, I bought this hand launcher instead.
The truth? This launcher winds up being a substitute for a thumb. As Bakugan is simply a hipper version of marbles meets trading cards (with more than a dash of Pokémon thrown in for good measure), the point of having to buy something to do what one’s largest digit can accomplish is lost on this grayhair–though I will admit the launcher is better at the get-go for adding a backspin to your Bakugan roll.
Still, this hand launcher seems like overkill for what it actually does. My advice to the kiddies: Ditch the launchers and learn how to use your thumb. As an old man would say, “The practice will build you whippersnappers some character.”
4 Stars Nice addition to our growing collection!
Nice that this fits both the newer big and older small Bakugan balls. Not too exciting - you just stick the ball in and hit the switch to “release” it, but my son loves it and uses it often when “brawling”.
3 Stars It works (mostly)
My son likes it but gets frustrated sometimes when things don’t quite line up the way it should and then it won’t “shoot”. Still, I asked him if he likes it and if he would want another one and he said yes. (He is 10)
5 Stars Best Bakkugan Launcher
Bought this for my son who is 7. He also got the first launcher that you strap on your wrist which doesn’t really work at all. This one works well for the original size brawlers and the new series 2. We now have two for when he wants me to battle with him. Hey, he can’t beat me every time! : )
