>>10817827OG Bakugan put Spin Master on the map. It also showed what happens when you extrapolate forecast and sales (and staffing) based on a few seasons of success. The phenomenon died and Spin Master took a massive hit.
The reboot strategy took those lessons and built the brand, not just hoping for a 2- or 3-season lift.
Spin has very few evergreen properties - Air Hogs,Tech Deck. Maybe Paw?
Beyblade OTOH weathered the storm, and I know Spin considers it evergreen. They hold Beyblade in high regard as the category standard bearer. Boys, fidgetable, collectable, game-centric.
The core is the Bakugan transforming ball, but there will always be incremental gameplay features that may take off, may not. Borrowing inspiration from Beyblade is part of that as the brand is built.
All's fair. Don't buy it if you don't like it.
