How to spot a fake Bakugan

With the many Bakugan products circulating on the web today, it’s no wonder there are counterfeits dotted around among them. Along with this came complaints and frustration from Bakugan collectors and lovers. Let’s be honest. Nobody wants to have a fake. So when buying Bakugan products, here are some tips to help us avoid the fake ones and stick to the real thing.

Packaging: First of all, there is the packaging. By looking at the packaging alone, we can sometimes determine that the Bakugan is fake. A name other than “Bakugan” and a packaging design other than the real thing are very obvious signs. There are many packages that are called “Burst-Egg” or “Bomb Ball” and are considered fake. We should also check the copyright statement and company logos of Spin Master and Sega Toys, the producers of Bakugan. Without the copyrights and logos, the Bakugan is surely fake.

Color and Attribute – The next thing you need to check to determine if a Bakugan is fake or not is its description. The Bakugan would be fake if its color is not the same as the general. For example, you found a Bakugan with an underground attribute, but it is colored a very dark brown. This Bakugan would be fake. Now, if you get a Bakugan with a Pyrus attribute but it’s blue in color, obviously the Bakugan is fake. In addition to color and attribute consistency, you also need to take a closer look at the attribute itself. Fake Bakugan often make a mistake with their attributes, making a circular end instead of a sharp point, for example.

Size and markings: If the Bakugan is not the correct ball size, if it is larger or smaller than the B1, B2 or B3 size it should be, then it is fake. The balls have a diameter determined by their size B. Any size other than this is considered fake (except the Deka Bakugan). We should also take a look at the screws that are used to attach the Bakugan. Real Bakugan have screws with a triangular tooth. If the Bakugan’s screws are cross shaped, then that Bakugan is fake. Another to keep in mind is the magnet used in the ball. If the magnet is exposed, then it’s fake. The real Bakugan have the hidden magnets inside.

There is also the matter of the G-Power markings and codes written on the Bakugan ball. Look at the G-power closely and see if it is written clearly and compactly. It is false if it is the opposite, if the font is thin and tall. There are also Bakugan where the G-Power is in the form of a sticker, and this definitely tells us that the Bakugan is a fake. There are also the series embedded in the ball. The Bakugan is fake if it doesn’t have the copyright code “@s/s/b” embedded in it.

These are the most important and obvious things to consider when looking for a real Bakugan. It is important that you first see a picture of the real Bakugan before you buy it online. Knowing what a specific Bakugan looks like can help you determine if it’s fake or not at first glance. The rest of the tests mentioned above will be done when you take a closer look at the Bakugan product you want to buy.
