Takara Tomy B-117 Beyblade Burst Revive Phoenix.10Fr Defense Starter with Launcher

(Review Written by 12 year old son, and this is actually a helpful review) Considering season 3 of Burst is ending soon, if the burst series ends there, and there are no more new beys, then I can definitely say that Revive Phoenix is the strongest defense type beyblade (other than Dead Phoenix, the evolution of Revive Phoenix). This beyblade is just so powerful, Phoenix almost never loses. The top layer comes with two parts, its normal part and the revive armor. You stick the revive armor on the normal part to the side and turn it to make it click, so it's attached. The revive armor is like a burst stopper, except better. Whereas you can just get burst stoppers pushed back in during battle, the revive armor is harder to get off. It's like an ordinary bey, you get the clicks on it and then it comes off. The revive armor is a substitute to prevent Revive Phoenix from bursting (though Revive Phoenix can actually burst when the armor is on, it almost never happens, and the armor does in fact come off before Phoenix actually bursts). Both the armor and the normal part have sharp, aggressive contact points, to help burst opponents, and are very circular, to provide good stamina. The disc is 10. This is a very nice looking disc, and it's good for stamina and defense. It's pretty heavy too! The disc kind of looks like it has feathers from a bird, or a.. phoenix? I guess that's why they gave this disc to Revive Phoenix. Finally, the driver, Friction. Friction has a white plastic ball tip, which is good for defense beys and provides a good amount of movement, and it still gets to the center fairly quick. Above the white plastic is red rubber. This red rubber helps with life after death, and can spin-steal if you're lucky enough to witness the opponent hitting the rubber (I've actually experienced it myself, it can spin-steal regardless of spin direction). And after all that, Revive Phoenix has really good teeth. Dead Phoenix is better because of this - Dead Phoenix's normal top layer part is lighter but I think has better teeth than Revive Phoenix's normal top layer part. Dead Phoenix's armor is a lot heavier than Revive Phoenix's armor (more metal). The 0 disc on Dead Phoenix is heavier than the 10 on Revive Phoenix, plus provides better stamina. Dead Phoenix has atomic, easily the best driver there is. Good springlocks and a lot of life after death, so you already know it's better than the friction driver. If you want the perfect Phoenix, take DP's armor, take RP's normal top layer part, takes DP's 0 disc, and take DP's atomic driver. That aside, Revive Phoenix is awesome, and I highly recommend buying it.

I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN: All I wanted was the launcher to get the wings out on my Cho-z Valkyrie(It Did) but getting the DARK RECOLOR was unexpected. The performance is great, and it has great defense, but the stamina is kinda good. My Cho-Valkyrie often gets Survivor Finishes, and Draws, when battling against Phoenix: It lost to Archer Hercules, which isn’t surprising. It can out stamina most of my beys, like Buster Xcalibur and Slash Valkyrie, sometimes Hajime Cho-z Valkyrie.. Zwei Longinus easily defeats it hands down, and Ace Dragon can also out stamina it. Judgement Joker is a 50/50 due to its 50/50 chance of it hitting with its strong side, or weak side. Overall great bey, and maybe I can pull another Black one with Cho-z Achilles when I get one, and a Golden GT Bey when getting the other GT beys.

It is a perfect price and my son loves it. He said that it sometimes even beaten Drain Fanir. It could beat all the beys. The launcher was amazing. It was colored red so it matched revive phoenix. The part you pull out from the launcher is amazing because it's head was shaped like a phoenix. In my opinion this bey is awesome. If you want to bye a cool, strong, and awesome bey, you should buy this one. This is the best and coolest bey I ever bought before. I love this bey.

So when i first got it the packaging was damaged but that didn't matter, the box was in Korean but when i saw the Takara tomy logo it was legit, it performed well and i LOVE the laucher it came with but it was confusing to lock the armor in (just twist the performance tip with the armor in place) to anyone buying this i recommend, just be aware of who you buy from and be aware that there are tiny stickers to be put in.

Its great and the launcher that comes with it is really powerful. The tightness seems sketchy but in battle the beyblade stays strong and I haven't burst yet. I recommend it. It comes in an un-open box so all parts are legit. You might want to get a grip for the launcher if you have big hands.

This is my son's favorite Beyblade. He matched his Revive Phoenix against about 33 Beyblades straight, which went 33-0. He was very happy and went from Liking this Beyblade to Loving it!Only con is, it is not Hasbro. So he could not scan this Beyblade into an app he downloaded. As it does not have a Q Code.

Bought this a few weeks ago and the kid just opened it yesterday. It came in the original Japanese packaging, which had some creases, but was in otherwise great shape. The beyblade itself was a big hit. To my untrained eye, it seemed nicely balanced, impressively fast and more resilient than the other ones in the nephew's collection.

Grandson loved it!
