Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden/Toy Line

Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden (JP:ボンバーマンビーダマン爆外伝, Bonbāmanbīdamanbakugaiden, lit. "Bomberman B-Daman Explosive Side Story") was the second generation of B-Daman toys. Although still carrying Super Bomberman branding and still depicting "Bomber" characters under the umbrella of the Bomberman franchise, Bakugaiden marked the first introduction of cast and setting specific to B-Daman, separate from that of other Bomberman media. This generation began with similar Bomberman figures to those seen in the Super Bomberman era, but with larger and more extravagant armor accessories and a redesigned body style with more hardpoints to accommodate those accessories. The line rapidly expanded to include larger-scale toys with more complex play features such as combining parts, vehicles, reactive targets, and more complex shooting mechanisms.
The midpoint of the generation marked a major change in B-Daman toy design with the third series, Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden III. This series abandoned the prior standard scale of Bomberman figures, instead introducing a miniature scale called a "BB-Daman" that could shoot 6mm plastic BBs. These miniature Bomberman figures could then pilot larger mecha toys, which were assembled like a model kit and could launch the traditionally-sized 17mm marbles that had previously been used with prior B-Daman toys. The BB-Daman era saw the introduction of many play features of increasing scale and complexity, with some of the widest variety of gimmicks and features of any period in B-Daman history.
In total, five toy series were released during the Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden generation.
