New Beyblade X Starters in NZ: StormSpriggan, BahamutBlitz, KnightFortress & RagnaRage Explained
If you’re a Kiwi Blader on the hunt for the freshest Beyblade X starters, you’re in for a treat. 2026’s lineup includes four exciting additions to our shelves: StormSpriggan, BahamutBlitz, KnightFortress and RagnaRage. Each starter brings its own spin direction, part configuration and play style, giving you plenty of choices for your next tournament build. As always, every Takara Tomy Beyblade X top we sell is 100% genuine and ready to battle straight out of the box. Let’s break down what makes each of these new starters special and who they best suit.
StormSpriggan 2-70M: Balanced Control for Versatile Play
The headline release is the StormSpriggan 2‑70M starter, a special re-make of the classic Burst B‑35 design. This right-spin Balance type includes the Storm Spriggan blade, 2‑70 ratchet and Merge bit, plus a comfortable launcher. Its dual contact points give it enough Attack potential to pressure opponents while still maintaining stability in the stadium. If you’re looking for a starter that performs well across attack and stamina roles, StormSpriggan is your best bet. Pick one up on our Beyblades collection or go straight to the StormSpriggan to see the full specs. For advanced combos, pair StormSpriggan’s parts with our String Launcher to get a smoother launch and more power.
BahamutBlitz: Defence-Oriented Left-Spin Power
Next up is BahamutBlitz, one of the few left-spin Beyblade X starters currently available in NZ. While StormSpriggan focuses on balance, BahamutBlitz is built around Defence. Its wide, textured blade and heavier ratchet keep it steady under pressure, making it ideal for players who prefer to outlast their opponents rather than chase them. We recommend BahamutBlitz to Bladers who like to capitalise on counter-attacks and stamina. Don’t forget to stock up on extra Beyblade X arenas and accessories so you can fine-tune your Bey for each matchup.
KnightFortress: Stamina Specialist with Medieval Flavour
For those who value stamina above all, the KnightFortress starter should be on your radar. With its imposing shield-like blade and balanced weight distribution, KnightFortress excels at maintaining spin for longer periods. That makes it the perfect choice when you’re looking to outlast aggressive attack tops. The included blade, ratchet and bit all play into its Stamina role, while the right-spin configuration ensures compatibility with many existing Beyblade X parts. KnightFortress pairs nicely with our Stadiums if you want to test its endurance against your friends.
RagnaRage: High‑Impact Attack for Risk Takers
Last but not least is the RagnaRage starter. Built around raw power, RagnaRage features a wide, spiked blade and an aggressive bit that maximises contact with opponents. It’s designed for Bladers who love to go on the offensive and are comfortable trading hits for quick knockouts. Although RagnaRage sacrifices some stamina compared to StormSpriggan or KnightFortress, its ability to deliver devastating strikes makes it a must-have for competitive Attack players. Combine it with the right Launcher Grip to improve control and give your attacks even more punch.
Choosing the Right Starter
With four distinct play styles, choosing your Beyblade X starter comes down to personal preference and strategy. StormSpriggan offers a balanced approach; BahamutBlitz is perfect for left-spin defence specialists; KnightFortress rewards stamina-based play; and RagnaRage provides high-risk, high-reward attack potential. At Totara Hobbies, we carry all four starters as well as extra bits and accessories to help you customise your Bey.
