Bakugan 7-in-1 Maxus Dragonoid

I don’t pretend to understand my sons’ fascination with Bakugan — the magnetized transforming battle-balls are all over our house, and yet I can’t recall a single time the kids have played a proper battle with them. But then I remember how I just had to have that giant transforming Voltron figure when I was their age, and it all makes sense — especially when the Bakugan object-of-lust in question is this 7-in-1 Maxus Dragonoid.

Seven Bakugan (six of which are exclusive to the set) merge to combine the ultimate battle beast — or seven separate ones, if that’s the way you want to roll. Just remember, if you’re expecting the kids to share: Seven of this year’s hottest holiday toys will only divide evenly if you’ve got septuplets.
