User blog:ReconStrike Commando/Shogun Steel: Strange News---UPDATE 2.0

In Hasbro's latest press release, I noticed a curiosity

BEYBLADE SHOGUN STEEL BEYWARRIOR Battlers and OCTAGON SHOWDOWN SET

''Hasbro's first ever figure-based battling system is inspired by the spirits in the new BEYBLADE: SHOGUN STEEL series. Insert the ripcord into the battler, rev it up, and send it spinning into action to bring the intensity of SHOGUN STEEL to life. Each BEYWARRIOR battler is made of five pieces to allow for ultimate customization, including interchangeable arms and feature different spirits from the BEYBLADE: SHOGUN STEEL show. The intricately designed OCTAGON SHOWDOWN set arena allows battlers to spin, crash, and ricochet for optimal BEYWARRIOR battling! (Ages 8 & up; BEYWARRIOR Battlers Approx. Retail Price: $9.99; OCTAGON SHOWDOWN SET: $39.99/Available: Fall 2013; Each Sold Separately)''

It seems that either the Zero-G part names are in for a unique name change, or Hasbro will be releasing a whole new series of Spinning Action Figures.

Also seen in the mix is a new Octagon Showdown Stadium, the properties of which, besides being a strange shape, allows Beywarriors (also a new term) to ricochet, spin and crash.

Now I'm sure you all will be saying "WE HATE HASBRO" or "BOO HABSRO SUCKS OCCUPY HASBRO" but at least we're getting some all new, unique Beyblade merchandise.
