Please, if you are thinking of buying a beyblade like this one, STOP now! Beyblades are suppose to spin, these kind do not spin because of the weighted animal at the top. I did buy another kind like this, it sort of looks like an armadillo. The armadillo one spins faster than this one. My six-year old was upset when he saw that this one didn't spin. Please spare yourself the grief of having to listen to your child whinning!
