What are Bakugans?

Posted on | June 6, 2009 | No Comments

If you have a grade-school age child, chances are you’ve heard “Bakugan” at some point during the day – usually in the question “Can I have a Bakugan?”  What is a Bakugan?  It’s a collectible toy that kids can’t get enough of – much like the Pokemon craze or years ago, the Beanie Babies.  The Bakugan is a small, usually round , toy that comes with a magnetic card.  When rolled onto the card, it pops open to reveal the character inside.  Each character has different powers or attributes, so you can find the same character in different colors, each with a different power or “G” strength.  There is an actual game and the rules are included in the starter pack or can be found online, but are not included with the individual characters.  Most kids just like to collect them though, and sometimes trade with friends that have “cooler” characters.  Sometimes Bakugan can be hard to find, particularly the newer Trap Bakugan that come in various shapes, but that is to be expected with any popular collectible.  Now that you have an idea of what they are, you can better understand the variations of Bakugan that you may find.
