Bakugan Battle Brawlers Deluxe Monster Series 1: Gorem

Bakugan Battle Brawlers Deluxe Monster Series 1: Gorem

Amazon.com Review

The popular and fun anime TV series “Bakugan Battle Brawlers” has spawned a variety of toys, including a strategic game and the Gorem, one of the Bakugan Deluxe Monsters. The Gorem is based on Bakugan monsters from the TV show, who look fearsome but use their powers for good. Your child aged four and up can play with this durable, colorful monster completely independent of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, or can use it to add excitement to their Bakugan battles (though the monsters are not officially part of the game.)

The Good: Flexible and easy to move into great action poses
The Bad: No background information about Gorem included
In a Nutshell: Unique and colorful monster will inspire hours of play

Ages: 4 and older


The battle-ready Gorem comes with a detachable shield. View larger.

Children who are fans of “Julie” on the TV show will get especially excited about playing with Gorem, who is Julie’s “guardian” Bakugan. Even if your child doesn’t watch the show, they’ll still love the Gorem figurine, whose powerful, oversized hands and feet move easily into a variety of action poses.

No Rules, Just Fun
No assembly is required for this figurine–just cut it free from the box and it’s ready to go! Unlike the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, which has somewhat complicated rules, this monster figurine can be used however your child likes. If your child is a fan of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, he can position Gorem and other figurines around the game play area just for fun; they are not actually part of the game. If your child doesn’t own the game, he can easily make up his own games to play with the monsters.

Chunky and sturdy, this figurine doesn’t exactly fit in a pocket but it is still lightweight and easy to take to a friend’s house. Gorem comes with a detachable shield.

Hours of Monstrous Entertainment
Each monster figurine has its own distinct look and individual powers. Gorem’s gigantic hands and feet are clad in heavy-duty armor and can be used lethal weapons. It’s very easy to position him in all sorts of cool fighting poses–from extending his frightening fists to the sky, to putting him in a crouch on all fours.

We especially liked how he can stand on his own and how easy it is to move his arms, legs, and torso. We would have liked to see some background information about Gorem included on or in the box, but there was none. Kids who are familiar with the TV show will know all about Gorem already, but others will have to make up their own stories about him or do some sleuthing on the Bakugan Web site. Luckily, kids have great imaginations, and we think this frightening Bakugan with his Darth Vader-style mask and yellow tongue will get the fun times rolling–especially when used with other deluxe monster figurines.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers Deluxe Monster Series 1: Dragonoid

Bakugan Battle Brawlers Deluxe Monster Series 1: Dragonoid

Amazon.com Review

The popular and fun anime TV series “Bakugan Battle Brawlers” has spawned a variety of toys, including a strategic game and a series of Deluxe Monster figurines, such as this Dragonoid, one of the Bakugan Deluxe Monsters. This figurine is based on Bakugan monsters from the TV show, who look fearsome but use their powers for good. Your child aged four and older can play with this sturdy, colorful monster completely independent of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, or can use it to add excitement to their Bakugan battles (though the monsters are not officially part of the game.)

The Good: Dagger-like horn and spreadable wings make this monster extra scary

The Bad: No background information about Dragonoid included
In a Nutshell: Unique and colorful monster will inspire hours of play

Dragonoid is packed with fierce details. View larger.

Children who are fans of the TV show will get special pleasure out of playing with the Dragonoid figurine, who is the “guardian” Bakugan for Dan–the show’s hero. But even children who don’t watch the show will get excited about this fiery figurine, whose giant wings, scaly tail, and dagger-like horn make him an extremely impressive and intimidating monster.

No Rules, Just Fun
No assembly is required for the Dragonoid–just cut it free from the box and it’s ready to go! Unlike the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, which has somewhat complicated rules, this monster figurine can be used however your child likes. If your child is a fan of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers game, he can position Dragonoid and other figurines around the game play area just for fun. But the figurines are not necessary to play the game. If your child doesn’t own the game, he can easily make up his own games to play with the monsters.

Chunky and durable, these figurines don’t exactly fit in a pocket, but they are still lightweight and easy to take to a friend’s house. Dragonoid comes with a detachable tail, which is long, scaly, and curls around the front of his talons.

Hours of Monstrous Entertainment
Each monster figurine has its own distinct look and individual powers. Dragonoid can spread his arms to create an impressive wingspan, or close them in tight for self-defense. He can charge with his frightening-looking horn or stand erect as his open mouth breathes pretend fire.

We like most everything about this figurine, from its cloth wings to its blazing red and yellow colors, to the way its mouth opens and closes. We also appreciate how well this figurine stands on its own, while also easily contorting into a variety of battle-worthy poses.

We would have liked to see some background information about Dragonoid included on or in the box, but there was none. Kids who are familiar with the TV show will know all about Dragonoid already, but others will have to make up their own stories about him or do some sleuthing on the Bakugan Web site. Luckily, kids have great imaginations, and we think this frightening Bakugan with his immense talons and dazzling yellow horn will inspire hours of entertainment–especially when used with other Deluxe Monster figurines.

Bakugan Battle Arena

Bakugan Battle Arena

Amazon.com Review

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 Battle Arena, kids ages 4 and above will enjoy the challenge of earning points in the large black arena 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. For kids who love to play Bakugan Battle Brawlers, this fun-filled accessory will make their game play more enjoyable and feel more “professional.”


What We Think


Fun Factor:

Durability:

(what this means)


The Good: Makes Bakugan game play more enjoyable

The Bad: No specific instructions about how to use arena

In a Nutshell: Great for kids who are already Bakugan devotees and have a collection of Bakugan warriors

At a Glance

Ages: 4 and older


The Bakugan Arena is ready for Battle. View larger.


There are lots of different warriors to collect (not included). View Larger.

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 the cards. 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 Battle Arena is easy to set up and use. Simply unfold the black plastic arena, and erect the red walls by using slots on the side. The walls prevent the spherical Bakugan from rolling away. Up to four players can battle it out in the arena. There are no instructions included about how to use the Battle Arena specifically, although there are instructions about how to play the game.

Note: This accessory does not include any Bakugan warriors or cards, which must be purchased separately.

Adding Fun and Excitement to Bakugan Battles
This easy-to-use accessory adds an entirely new element of fun and excitement to your child’s Bakugan play–especially if he is already a devotee of the game. We would have liked to see some instructions about the Battle Arena itself, including a description of what the various markings on the floor of the arena represent. We can only assume that kids who are fans of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers TV show will understand the arena and won’t need the instructions. But even if kids don’t watch the show, they can still enjoy this accessory–they simply set it up, get out their cards and Bakugan, and play!

What’s in the Box
Bakugan Battle Arena with walls.


Product Description

Wage the ultimate Bakugan Battle! Choose your Bakugan and face off against up to 3 opponents in the official Battle Arena of the Bakugan Tournament League!

Each monster figurine has its own distinct look and individual powers. Preyas’ webbed hands and feet have talons that can tear apart its pray. His fins and long tail make him a good swimmer. It’s very easy to move his powerful arms into intimidating poses and to bend his lethal feet into a variety of positions.

We especially liked his combination of scales and talons and wouldn’t want to swim into this monster underwater. We would have liked to see some background information about Preyas included on or in the box, but there was none. Kids who are familiar with the TV show will know all about Preyas already, but others will have to make up their own stories about him or do some sleuthing on the Bakugan Web site. Luckily, kids have great imaginations, and we think this frightening distinctive-looking blue-and-purple aqua monster will inspire hours of entertainment–especially when used with other deluxe monster figurines.
