          back then

          Oof, ow, ouchie

          Idk what they are now, but they were just cool looking spinning tops with sharp pokey bits to topple enemy beyblades, or more likely, to cause bodily harm to your friends, especially the diecast metal ones that had some heft to them

            Simpler plastic design I mean. I know that beyblades were always radical-goofy looking, but older ones you could still make out most of the shapes from a distance. Newer ones look like the one in the pic, 5 layers of different whatever just on the upper part. Maybe the plastic ones always looked like that and I’m just that old, ugh

            The one in this picture matches my idea of what new beyblades looked like in 2005-ish, when I was getting over them because they looked so excessively bulky. I think the launcher also saw a revision?

      I came to the chat wondering what it was too. Look like an endoplasmic reticulum to me, but no idea why that would be there.
