Mini 4WD, Hyper Yo-Yo, Beyblade, and other hobbies have always enthused kids.
Some new products are still being released today, while others have taken the world by storm but are unfortunately no longer on the market.
One of them is B-Daman.
At first, it was a hobby that involved shooting marbles from Bomberman's belly, but the design and performance of the Bomberman evolved rapidly, and it became a highly competitive hobby.
As a result of the continued evolution, no new Bidaman products were released after 2013, perhaps because they had evolved too much.
However, Takara Tomy suddenly announced " PROJECT BM "!
The name "BM" and the silhouette of the figure, which looks like it is ejecting something round, made people wonder if B-Daman would be revived.
Today, on Tuesday, September 15, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., the information was released! The full picture has been revealed!

Cap Revolution Bottleman" is born!
PROJECT BM is a new shooting hobby called "Cap Revolution Bottleman "!
This is a shooting hobby that shoots not marbles, which have become hard to obtain in this day and age, but plastic bottle caps, which are all around us.
Unlike marbles, which are hard and heavy, plastic bottle caps are lighter and faster . Exciting! You can play with it in a super exciting way.
The product lineup includes the " Colamar," a power type that can be "tightened" to a tight fit.
The " Aqua Sports " is a speedy type with a long magazine that excels at continuous shooting.
The " GYOKUROKU " is a control type with a long barrel in the shape of a sword "Barrel Sword" that makes it easy to set the sight.
The three types are as follows.
Choose the one that best suits your style and game rules!
Works with Nintendo Switch!
Like Biderman, Bottleman can be enjoyed alone by hitting the target, or with friends in a battle.
If you purchase the " Bottleman Digital Battle Set," you can download the Nintendo Switch game software and play digital battles linked to the Nintendo Switch!
Just download the game software, place the Nintendo Switch in the kit included in the "Bottleman Digital Battle Set," and you're ready to go!
You can play six different games that can be played by one or two players.
The game is as simple as hitting a target with a plastic bottle cap at the right moment, but the timing of hitting and aiming are very deep and will be addictive not only for kids but also for adults!
At the time of release, there are only 6 types of games available, but more games are scheduled to be added in the future, so we can't wait to see what kind of games will be added!
An anime will also be broadcast on YouTube!
Speaking of this type of hobby, it is a promise that it will be linked with manga and anime.
Bottleman will also have an anime on YouTube!
The first episode of the "Cap Revolution Bottleman" anime will be available on the TOMY YouTube channel on Friday, October 9, 2020!
After that, the latest episode will be available every Friday at 16:00, so you can look forward to more fun on the weekends!
Items appearing in manga and anime are sometimes commercialized, so maybe a new Bottleman from the anime "Cap Revolution: Bottleman" will be released...?
