Beyblade (toy)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beyblade (ベイブレード Beibureido) is a spinning top toy developed and manufactured by Takara starting in 1999. The introduction of the toy in Japan corresponded with the broadcast of an anime television series of the same name. In 2002, Hasbro began to sell Beyblade toys internationally (under license from and produced by Takara) along with a coordinated country by country roll-out of localized versions of the TV series. The Beyblade toy line went on to be one of the most popular toy lines in the world from 2000-2005 and as of 2005 over 100 million units had been sold worldwide.
In the basic rules of the game, one player wins by knocking the competitor's beyblade out of a dish (commonly called a Beystadium) or to outspin the competing top(s). Although Hasbro's version of the "Beystadium" is enclosed and instead has "penalty pockets" which are able to stop the Beyblade from spinning, but the top may come back out.
