BB-Daman Bakugaiden Series

The BB-Daman Bakugaiden Series is the fourth out of five toy series released during Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden, the second generation of B-Daman toys. It mainly contains toys representing the main characters and villains from the main arc of the Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden TV anime series. The toy series is branded after the anime, and due to the anime series covering story material from both this toy series and the previous one the series title lacks the roman numeral carried by other Bakugaiden-era toy series. However, it is popularly referred to both by fans and occasionally Takara-Tomy staff as "Bakugaiden IV".
With both the Bakugaiden and Super B-Daman branches of the B-Daman IP running simultaneously, BB-Daman Bakugaiden ran roughly concurrently with Super B-Daman's PI Series.
==Series Overview==
Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden IV is an extensive series with multiple sub-sections within it:
* Eighteen regular release model-kit-style marble-shooting mecha with A-## product numbers.
* Thirteen marble-shooting toys in a larger scale similar to that of the earlier Super Bomberman toy series, with B-## product numbers.
* Ten non-marble-shooting static display figures depicting characters from the anime, with C-## product numbers.
* Various additional unnumbered toys, some of which include marble-shooting or reactive-target functionality but many of which are an entirely unrelated category of toy with Bakugaiden branding.
The main line of A-## kits continues the style and scale of the preceding Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden III series, using the same miniature BB-Daman pilot figures for the Bomber characters. Play features are greatly expanded compared to Bakugaiden III, with many kits in the line having esoteric features such as alternate ammunition sizes and materials, multiple cores that can be fired simultaneously, integrated magazines for repeated fire, and alternate firing modes. Transformation and combination continue to be major mechanical themes, along with the addition of the spherical "B-Da Capsule" cockpit spheres that are interchangeable between most mecha and rotate to form the mecha's face.
The larger-scale B-## toy series includes a few retools and re-releases of toys from earlier B-Daman series, but also features a new, taller, semi-poseable B-Daman body design used for basic marble-shooting figures representing the main Bomber characters of the anime. A particularly unusual standout is the DX B-Da Armor releases, extra-large versions of certain mecha with battery-driven motorized flywheels that are used to launch ping-pong balls.
