Beyblades

Dueling spinning tops

Beyblades are spinning top toys designed to battle each other in an arena.

Players launch their tops using a ripcord device, and the last Beyblade spinning wins.

The toys spawned from a Japanese manga and anime series in the early 2000s, generating competitive tournaments and collector culture: My son wants Beyblades for his birthday.
