Bakugan Hand Launcher

In the Bakugan TV show, Dan and the gang have these cool launchers that send their Bakugan in battle. In real life, you probably have to dig into your pockets to find the Bakugan that you want to use before you roll it on the floor.

Well your rolling days could be over with one of these Bakugan Launchers. The wrist mounted launcher looks the most like the launcher that Dan wears in the cartoon but it doesn't come with any directions. Let's just say that most people are confused by this and don't really know how to use it. But don't worry, I've attached a YouTube video to this post that shows you exactly how to use it.

There's also a smaller launcher (which unfortunately is about the same price as the bigger one) that's called the Bakugan Hand Launcher. Operating it is a little easier to figure out with instructions but really both launchers work just fine.

Bakugan Drago

Everyone knows that Dan is the star of the Bakugan TV Show as far as humans go. But he's a pain in the butt most of the time. My favorite character on the show has to be Drago.

Drago is a Dragonoid Bakugan. This is what the Official Bakugan Site has to say about Dragonoid.

The Dragonoid is designed to seek and destroy. Equipped with high intelligence, they are limited in Battle mobility but compensate for through powerful strikes. Dragonoids will also fire high-speed oscillating, electromagnetic waves from their venomous mouths, annihilating anyone who gets in their way.

And here's the blurb about Drago.

Pyrus Drago, is Dan’s guardian Bakugan. He is a gigantic dragon-like Bakugan from “Pyrus”: a space attributed to fire. He is one of the most powerful species living in Vestroia, able to infinitely evolve on his own. In battle, his power is to radiate intense heat from his body, dissolving everything around him. He is the leader of the Bakugan; a true knight with strong convictions and a deep friendship with Dan.

Drago must have a deep friendship with Dan, especially because he forgave Dan for tossing him in the river in the first episode.

Deka Bakugan

If you're looking for the giant Bakugan balls, then you need to remember that they're called Deka Bakugan.

They work exactly the same way are the original Bakugan Battle Brawlers. They come with cards and they still spring open. But the Deka Bakugan are giant baseball sized Bakugan.

There's one more thing to remember when you're buying them online at sites like Amazon or Ebay. Don't confuse the Dekas with the B2s. B2 Bakugan are only slightly larger than the original style. You should be able to find B2 Bakugan this holiday season at stores like Wal-Mart. They seem to be fully stocked and offer the best prices around.

The Deka are too big to fit in the launchers or the carrying cases and they'll totally roll off your Bakugan Battle Arena but you won't see many of them on the playground. They're definitely more rare and they'll be hard to find in stores. If you want a Deka Bakugan, you'll most likely have to buy it online.

Bakugan Roll

Unlike the Pokemon Trading Card game, Bakugan actually requires some physical skill to play. Some people have called it a updated version of marbles but it's really a lot more.

Rolling your Bakugan marbles takes some practice but becoming a good roller will help you win more Bakugan Brawls.

These two videos show a few different techniques of how to do the Bakugan Roll. And remember that when you're playing in a Bakugan Battle Arena, don't forget to use the bumpers as part of your strategy. Not only will the bumpers keep your marbles from rolling out of play but if you bank they just right, you'll be able to roll over a gate card that might have otherwise been out of reach.

Bakugan Movie

I made this Bakugan Movie using Animoto. It was actually pretty easy to do. All I had to do was upload all of the pictures, select the music and that was it. And if the pictures were already on Flickr, I wouldn't even have had to upload them. And see for yourself, Animoto makes a great Bakugan Movie.

Bakugan Names

What's the most annoying thing about buying Bakugan Toys? Most of the Starter Packs or Battle Packs don't tell you the names of the Bakugan inside the box. Most are just labeled with a color like, Bakugan Starter Pack Red. That's nice but it doesn't tell you the Bakugan Names!

So if you're like me and haven't committed all the Bakugan names to memory yet and don't want to sit through Bakugan TV Show marathon with a pencil and paper in your lap, then this is a pretty good video for you to watch.
