Next Gen Toys and New BEYBLADE X Animation Become Available Globally

This summer, Bey-fans can experience the exhilarating thrill of the next generation of BEYBLADE toys, BEYBLADE X from Hasbro. BEYBLADE X offers Tops identical in weight, feel, and performance across Hasbro and Takara Tomy, along with additional Hasbro Tops that meet the same high standard. The new line features the BEYBLADE X Xtreme Battle Set, which is the perfect starter, packed with all you need to begin your quest for Beymastery and includes everything needed to play and compete: the Xtreme Beystadium arena, two right-spinning Tops, and two launchers with ripcords. Assemble your stadium and Tops, load your launcher, and 3-2-1, LET IT RIP!

The Xtreme Beystadium features the new X-Celerator Rail Gear System to level up your game. When the gears of the Top engage the stadium rail, the Top can super-accelerate into an Xtreme Dash, rocketing around the Battle Zone for breathtaking bursts and colossal crashes.

The three interchangeable blades, ratchets, and bit layers of BEYBLADE X Tops are easy to assemble and reassemble with a quick twist and two clicks, leaving you ready to launch into battle. Use the two launchers to unleash Tops in a frenzy of fury, or mix and match the interchangeable pieces of other BEYBLADE X Tops to create your custom Bey. Other BEYBLADE tops are sold separately, subject to availability.

Fans can also take BEYBLADE skills to the next level and compete in digital battles! Scan the code on BEYBLADE X Tops to battle in the BEYBLADE X app and unleash your Top in a virtual battle with other Bladers worldwide. BEYBLADE X toys will be available at Amazon, Target, Walmart and other major retailers this summer. For ages 8 years and up, MSRP $49.99, available Summer 2024. 

Also launching this summer, the new BEYBLADE series will introduce new characters among the world-class animation that BEYBLADE pioneered 25 years ago.
