there are people around the world who own 3D printers and have designed and created their own modelstaiwanese dude (in part 2 he upgrades it to shoot marbles at >30km/h (approx 18.5 mph))(Part 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53aoeF8FCAY(Part 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_eue8eLJNYjapanese guy #1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EeaBvNWUJsjapanese guy #2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5kYoiP4BVojapanese guy #3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjGjpVtCABYno idea where this guy is from but he speaks englishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o69QZgIjq7Ebonus:guy with massive B-daman collectionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbXVCxT3VM4
>>11058174How can Bakugaiden be """Pre B-Daman""" when its full title is "Super Bomberman: Super B-Daman: Bakugaiden", retard.
>>11058182hey man, I would love to invite you to a party in the future, you seem like a great guy!
Combat phoenix was good stuff, with they made the battle bdaman stuff as powerful
>>11058486oh dudethere's this one dude who 3dmodelled fighting phoenix then 3d printed alot of replicashard to replicate the bit where he did the metal parts with a lathe thohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn8zo_zQ8YM
>>11058176I wish they sold that double barrel separately so I could put it on my Pirate guy. Also I was a fool to think that these toys would strive during the pandemic
Cobalt Blade forever. imo it was the only good B-Daman in the entire line. I've always wanted Blaster too, but man it was just never easy to get for me
>>11060475The quick swap magazines? DX parts don't fit on the OG lines.
One day, I'd like to find pic related. The metal B-Daman look so cute.
>>11060516I thought they were modular. Oh well. I know the slot covers of Crossfire were still compatible with the penguin B-daman
>>11060538DX and G are cross compatible, og is not aside from the caps. They had to redesign the core bottles altogether because both og designs disintegrate the more you shoot them.
>>11060522mercari has a bunch,this guy is selling 3 unbuilt metal bdaman kits for like 25 USD and with a shipping site you can probably get them for 35-40USD total
>>11061473linkhttps://jp.mercari.com/en/item/m34269111028mercari is like a jap ebay for 2ndhand items
>>11058176Aren't a lot of these parodies? It's weird that some are incensed.
>>11060522here's 3 from Yahoo auctions with buyeeif you buy, do go find some youtuber who promotes buyee, i think monsterislandbuddies doesbecause they will have new signup discounts on it, maybe 10% off or smthhttps://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/b1138138314?conversionType=YahooAuction_DirectSearchhttps://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/u1079241657?conversionType=YahooAuction_DirectSearchhttps://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/r354557879?conversionType=YahooAuction_DirectSearch
>>11061478i wouldnt call them parodies, they're more like homages? its making it look like a drink you'd see IRL, skirting around copyright like how jojo skirts around names, localizing them differently
>>11061474It annoys me how we don't have any good Bomberman figures
>>11061694theres a decent gashapon
>>11061694If it weren't for Hudson going out of business, we'd probably have Bomberman Bottleman figures.
>>11058176I've got the Spritening G recolor of this one.
I got the cerberus bottle one cuz it looks cool but the double shoot gimmick is meh and the shooting force is underwhelming. Which one do I buy to replace the core for a finger splitting one but keep the look?
>>11058174How is this related to bomberman? Did they just collab once and then split? Did takara pull away after the big bee got acquired by junami?
>>11063320Kerpeps is already using power type hold parts, only way to make it stronger is to change out the shoulder armor to those capable of squeeze shots: Colamaru, Cola Energy or one of G's megawing cannons.>>11063345Started as a Bomberman merch in early 90s
>>11060550>>11060516Does that go for the armor shells too? Like what if i put my pirate parts on the new DX/G bodies?
>>11063345>Did they just collab once and then split?Yes. B-Daman started as a Bomberman spin-off before becoming the franchise we know today. In fact, the later B-Daman still contained elements of their Bomberman roots in their designs.
>tfw bottleman is illegal in EU now
Crash B-daman was my personal favorite. Loved the ridiculous handgun designs. The guns you could attach as optional parts were great too.And honestly, the crash tower mode was probably one of the better actual game modes they ever made for B-daman. Though you could really use those with any B-daman, they didn't have to be Crash ones.
>>11063665This was probably one of the most ridiculous Crash B-daman set-ups. Two of them combined into some oversized cannon.
>>11063665>>11063667I hate that sideways look though. Even upside down wouldve looked better
>>11063320>>11063359i think the doubleshot gimmick is detrimental to the bottleman system,you should prob go for a colamaru dx core, its power and shoots a single cap and is also blackbtw did you get the regular Kerpeps DX or the König Kerpeps DX? (König is a homage to König cerberus, seen in op image)
>>11064381König, it just looks better even tho the other one has that Pepsiman look
>>11063655Why? Is it because of the bottlecap change?
>Takara Tomy made a bottleman out of that French furry drink.
>>11064384Based, I didnt even consider tge pepsiman angle, imagine printing custom pepsiman decaks for itI think the only advantage of pepsiman colors is the white lining on the eye sticker
>>11064393it's not actually illegal it's just you have to cut off part of the bottle cap with a knife now. doesn't make a good toy for kids anymore
>>11063655why?
>>11060550eh ill just get this instead
>>11064381I wonder why they never bothered to do actual cross-promotions with drink companies for these things.
>>11066096They did with Suntory >>11058176 but they are mostly parodies for licensing reasons. Remember that B-Daman was almost ruined by the loss of the Bomberman license.>>11066070The components are good on their own but they don't really work well together. G Cores are bad at holding onto magazines, 2 out of 3 of the armor modes interfere with the 1-hand trigger. Might want to divvy them up onto other Bottlemen.
>>11066108>They did with SuntoryThey should've done more of them.
>>11064384this dude made a konig with small corehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_5KZ5U3ucM
>>11061694But you already have some
>>11066173>The most popular Bomberman game is currently an Arcade/PC MOBA with coombait gajinka of Bomberman and other defunct Konami franchisesI just want to be a silly little robotman...
Love this little fucker like you wont believe
>>11066541>>11066173Gacha is truly the cancer that killed Asian media.
>>11067028Arguably it's microtransactions and pay2win
Watching super B-daman rn, desu its not badWhy are marbles so hard to find nowadays
>>11067044I can never find marbles without the swirly thing inside. I hate those. I want to pretend I'm Yaiba again
>>11067214What am i gonna do with 260 marbles
https://youtu.be/kg024RBJxcg?si=KrhJA_eQoEiD7SyKBdaman meetup in Senagawa ( outskirts of Tokyo )
>>11066070>The cool shoulder canon looking things don't actually fire>They are just crappy low capacity magazines when this series has had better alternatives for ammo storage for decades
>>11068447>>The cool shoulder canon looking things don't actually fireive been told, but i dont really care. i just have a shoulder cannons fetish or something
>>11068447>yeah but how else will you store bottlecaps?
is there a site that has an archive of images for the toys? I remembered that I got some bootleg toys that look like bakugaiden toys as a lad and I wanted to double check
>>11069353I hope you can read japaneseThis site lists the toys, if you plug the japanese name from the site into google, youll definitely find pics
>>11069571http://eielteeo.fc2web.com/bbb/list3.htm
>>11069571>>11069573thanks anon
>>11058174Anyone get their Pen B yet? Just wondering
>>11070567No but pen B modhttps://youtu.be/4wcdFZXzvtQ?si=d1NSO2zm5o233478
>>11074267Fuck that, now it's ruined.
>>11074322my man racist against non-canon modshow about canon add-on parts?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwA7gUhozl4
>>11074528I don't buy B-daman because they improve stats, I buy because they look cool
>>11075721i buy B-daman for their cool factor as well, but i also appreciate the building and modification that people in the animes do. the problem solving and upgrading they do in the animes.isnt it cool that people can do that in real life too? like, shit, people can make marbles shoot at 120km/h (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxMJpoWG6HU) this is very much like the ingenuity of racecar engineers back in the early wild west days of le mans, where people just push things as far as they possibly can.sure, it's cool that you can get the things you have in animes, but isn't it even cooler if you can have your own custom machine? one not necessarily recognized by the average fan, but one that you can truly call your own.[marge: I just think they're neat]
>>11066070I realized this thing is the final Bottleman ever. They closed the book on Bottleman this year.
>>11075823let's hope for a proper series refreshmaybe b-daman gets a good revival, just like how beyblade got X
>>11076067going to be a while seeing how the pokemon disc shooters are doing good.
>>11075753that's fine and dandy. but i have absolutely no reason for my bdas to shoot faster and such. with no tournaments or even knowledge this exists, theyre just plain toys at the end of the day>>11075823that sucks. they hardly caught on despite me rooting for it
man just machined a bdaman from metalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkpqREbmSFw
Found me a real Bomberman toy. Replaced its old face sticker because it was peeling and faded and i never liked those blush lines it always has for some reason
>>11060477>Cobalt BladeI love this lil guy
>>11077162This looks like it could kill a small dog
>>11081410hamsters definitely
>>11058174I'm really wanting to bite the bullet and get a Chrome Harrier from ebay. I never watched Battle B-Daman until later, first discovered it through the GBA games. But not sure if I'm willing to do it.The 3D stuff people are doing is interesting.
>>11084182Why not try to see if theres a community in your area?
>>11084264Any special places to help with that or just the "hope there's a Facebook group that's close by"?
>>11084372i hate to say this, but [spoiler]r*ddit[/spoiler]
>>11084410Well it's better than nothing I guess. I'll take a look there and some random googling too. Yu never know.
>>11084490
>>11084702I just want to shoot marbles man
