Customizer Mori - Thumb Grip "How To..."

As i have been getting a lot of mails and PMs about how i make my "Foam Thumb Grip"...

 here's the "How To" make your own~


First, you need the materials:
-Craft Foam (can be bought in Popular, Artfriend, Big Book Shop)
-Thick PVC Clear Sheet (from unwanted PVC boxes, Book Covers, or you can buy at Artfriend)
-Cardboard
-Stationery, Glue, Scissors, Cutting knife, Permanent Marker.



First draw out a rough shape of how you want the "Thumb Grip" to look like on the Cardboard.
*note that the width of the thumb grip must be as long as the "pull bar" on your Bey Launcher.


Cut it out.


Next, trace the Cardboard template of the shape onto the PVC sheet using a permanent marker.
*roughly draw a "5mm slit line" on each side of the "O" gap for stretching allowance later.

Cut those out. (Remember to cut the "slit lines" also)



Next Glue the PVC cut outs onto the Craft Foam using "UHU Foam Glue - UHU Por"

Wait for total dry out (aprx 6 hours) and Cut them out~



*Remember to cut the "slit lines" on the craft foam also, if not your Beylauncher Pull Bar will not fit through.



and you are ready to slip the BeyLauncher Pull Bar through the "O" and glue or double side tape the ends together after bending the Tab.


For that additional "Impact Cushioning", you can use a small spring (from retractable ballpens) and twist it in the string to absorb any return impact that will crack the Pull Bar.


And your own-made foam "Thumb Grip" is complete!

Hope this DIY session is helpful to the "Pull Bar" breaking problem ya~

BB-106 Fang Leone 130W2D Update

Got some update to the upcoming 4D Bey BB-106 Fang Leone 130W2D~

Apparently the Divided Metal Wheels of the Fang Leone can be fliped over to interchange between two modes:



Defence Mode

Counter/ Attack Mode


Also got an image of the W2D which states that its a singular part that combines "stamina" with "defence". Looks like it is more of a "Wide Defence Sharp" than a W2D.


other peeps include BB-109 Random Booster Vol 7 which once again feature a "censored" new MW - Beat Rinkus? XXXX

Well looks like its going to be a hard time getting this again~

BB-P01 Vulcan Horuseus 145D

BB-P01 Vulcan Horuseus 145D


Contents Include:
Clear Horuseus Facebolt
Horuseus "Clear" Wheel
Vulcan Metal Wheel
145 Track

Overall a good defence bey with a slight attack potential due to its Vulcan Metal Wheel design. Also has quite a decent stamina capability and weight balance. Hope to get its "upgrade" version Mercury Anubis 85XF soon ya. 

Coro Coro Comic March Issue Review

Got my copy of Coro Coro Comic March Issue today at Kino.


And yes it has the new "BB105 Big Bang Pegasis F:D" smacked right in the center of the cover page~


Comes with a (Shiny) Art Board~ nice!


Fold out page of Big Bang Pegasis.
"Defeated Kerbecs!! Big Bang Pegasis F:D Birth of a Miracle!!"

Bottom half explains two features on the "4D" system.
1)Different Material - Metal Dust added to Clear Wheel to increase durability and weight.
2)Divided Wheel - Metal Wheel section is made out of two metal sections and a Polycarbonate section.


The next page is totally dedicated to the 3rd "D" - Dynamic Movement.


Shows how the Pegasis evolves from Pre-Hybrid Wheel to Galaxy, and how it concentrates on improving its attack from version to version. But Pegasis "weak Point" was never fixed - Stamina.
"Pegasis has always be known for its attacks in a battle, but always gets defeated in the later half due to its lack of stamina. Therefore "Big Bang" was made to counter that weakness!! New Bottom "F:D" makes Pegasis Invincible!!"



Shows how the "F:D" - Final Drive gimmick works:
"Kerbecs being a stamina type, stay centered while Pegasis circles around with Attack movement... Staying out of attack range proves to be a pinch~ if this was the last Pegasis, it will fall into defeat in the last half...


But!


Just when Pegasis is about to loose its attack stamina! The Big Bang Pegasis F bottom transforms automatically and delivers a sudden recovery Circular Attack Motion!!! Its not the wind! Its a Miracle!!! Wooow~ and it easily defeats its opponent when their at their weakest!"


Sound really cool i might say, would have to wait for my sample piece and see it in action before i comment thou~


A Feature on the Second 4D bey is also announced - BB-106 Fang Leone!!!
Revival of Kyoya!!!



Shows that the new Leone MW is made of 2 seperate parts. The layering design of the MW creates a powerful Defence Counter. Detail features will be in next months issue~
Also adds that Kyoya's Rock Leone was one of the Top favourite default amongst Beyblader.



Peeping at the bottom quarter is the 3rd "4D" bey - Ldrago Destroy!!!
Ldrago Destroy system is quite unique, instead of having a regular Clear Wheel, its made of Metal!
And at the bottom, its Rubber Disc! A totally reversed system!!! More info in next issue~ can't wait!



Page featuring the new Mercury Anubis 85XF (still a send in limited, still difficult to get~ oh well)



Some Manga *Spoilers* on how the F:D system defeated Kerbecs, Ryuga defeated Faust and obtained Ldrago Destroy and Damian becoming a good guy and "Revives" the dead!



New Season 3 "Metal Fight Beyblade 4D" continuing after Big Bang appearance in Anime.



Next months issue packs up with more "4D" beys, Fang Leone secret reveal! Ldrago Destroy details! More on "Deep Customisation" and Big Poster of MFB 4D!!!

That ends my long post, hope you enjoyed it~
