Split Series-Shadow Shark & Delver Mecha

I'm a granddad but I really like to play battling tops with my grandchildren. So, I keep a few tops and launcher at my house for when they visit. I also have a small stadium. I've used a few different brands, and this set matches up very well in terms of quality, precision manufacture and spin with any of the tops I've seen. The tops are assembled from a number of smaller components that are made from high quality machined metal and plastic rings and small shaped components. The tops assemble using these components like a 3-dimensional jig saw puzzle. The metal pieces add rotating mass/weight to the tops which makes them spin fast and long. And in a battle the heavy tops hit each other with considerable force which causes them to break apart or EXPLODE releasing all the assembled pieces onto the bottom of the stadium. Very cool! Note: keep the box and any manuals so you can see how to reassemble the tops when they do come apart. To bring the tops up to spinning speed a launcher attaches to the top of the battle top and a pull strap is pulled through the launcher to bring the top up to a fast rotation. The top releases automatically and falls to the floor when the pull strap is pulled completely through the launcher body. I really like the 4-prong connector featured on these launchers. These hold to the tops very strongly as you pull the pull strap. And the pull straps provided on this set are some of the strongest I've seen. Pull straps are typically a weak link due to the rough, extensive use. It's nice to see these stronger designs. This top set meets the descriptions and images shown on the website. I'm very happy with the set I've received. The tops are heavy and made from precision made components. They spin very fast and are designed and constructed for the fierce world of battle tops. The launchers are well made and work very smoothly with the pull straps bringing the tops up to speed and launching them into battle. This is a very nice set available at a very competitive price. This is a good set for any level of user and would make a good present. As an accessory I would consider a stadium which keeps the battle tops in a fairly small spot and drives the tops at each other for quick contact. I would recommend this set.

I bought this for my grandson as a Christmas present. He loved it and it performed as expected.

I think I remember these being popular as a kid. I guess everything old is new again.

These are a great Bey-like top. The set comes with 2 tops and launchers. You don't get a stadium with this set - it's still fun to launch the tops even if you don't have a battle arena. These are meant to come apart, so if yours falls apart, don't panic! The official brand does that too. It's like the total KO when your spinning top gets defeated. You do have the option to custom configure these. I'm not that blade savvy and just use them like they came from the factory. My kids are really into swapping the pieces around and that seems to be part of the fun. Really fun for those already into these kinds of battle tops, or first time users.

Nice quality heavier than previous ones so battle lasts a bit longer getting nice bang for buck. Can be a bit hard for young ones to put together on own so need some parental assistance but is not so bad. Reminds me of the one I had as a kid performing just as well to take apart to tweak things to see how it would change In action. I’m glad to see characters hope to see more girl colored for little lady loves playing with big bro. Makes fun game for the family now we all can battle duos or quads everyone from grandparents get a kick playing.
