Convention - SDCC 2025 : Hasbro Unleashes Nostalgia and Innovation with Exclusive BEYBLADE X 25th Anniversary Set

By Mulder, 09 june 2025

San Diego Comic-Con has long been the stage where pop culture giants deliver their boldest, most collectible announcements—and Hasbro didn’t disappoint this year. In a reveal that fused two and a half decades of spinning battle glory with next-gen performance engineering, Hasbro officially launched the BEYBLADE X 25th Anniversary Set at Booth #3213, sending fans—both veteran bladers and curious newcomers—into a frenzy of excitement. Packed with exclusive tops that pay homage to past BEYBLADE legends and a futuristic gear system that redefines high-speed play, this set is a must-have tribute to BEYBLADE’s enduring legacy.

For longtime fans who recall bringing their first stadiums to school and battling during lunch breaks, seeing the Dragoon Storm 4-60RA, Storm Pegasis 3-70RA, and Victory Valkyrie 2-60RA brought back floods of memories. These weren’t just ordinary reissues, though—they’ve been re-engineered to be fully compatible with the innovative BEYBLADE X system, which features the standout X-Celerator Gear System. This groundbreaking mechanic introduces the Xtreme Dash, a rail-based speed burst that sends the tops rocketing around the arena in a blur, enabling collision-heavy gameplay never before possible. It’s a clear evolution from the original spinning top battles, now reimagined for a generation raised on acceleration and edge.

What makes this anniversary bundle stand apart isn’t just the four meticulously chosen Attack Type Tops—it’s the blend of fan service and mechanical mastery. Alongside the aforementioned classics, Hasbro also included the newer Dran Sword 3-60F, a powerhouse right-spin Top that has quickly risen in popularity among younger fans and competitive players alike. All four come with their own launchers, encouraging immediate play, customization, and experimentation right out of the box. The modularity is especially exciting; each Top’s blade, ratchet, and bit can be interchanged with other BEYBLADE X products (sold separately), letting bladers craft their own ultimate combinations in the heat of battle.

The set’s sleek packaging and Comic-Con exclusivity added to the hype. Several attendees were spotted filming their unboxings on the convention floor, with one fan in full cosplay as Tyson from the original Beyblade anime series breaking into tears upon launching his newly acquired Dragoon Storm. It’s this kind of heartfelt reaction that reminds us how BEYBLADE isn’t just a toy—it’s a multigenerational phenomenon, woven into the childhoods of so many.

While the BEYBLADE X 25th Anniversary Set is making its debut at SDCC 2025, Hasbro confirmed that limited quantities will roll out at select major retailers after the convention, priced at $79.99. But true collectors know: owning a Comic-Con edition is part of the magic. These exclusives represent moments in fandom where past, present, and future collide—much like the explosive top battles they inspire.

In a year when nostalgia is powering major brand revivals, Hasbro has struck gold with this fusion of legacy and innovation. Whether you're reliving battles from the early 2000s or launching your very first Top into the arena, the BEYBLADE X 25th Anniversary Set invites you to spin, clash, and celebrate 25 years of blading like never before.
