Hell Salamander B-125.2 Takara Tomy – Unboxing, review, test et battle

Hi Bladers
Before starting this review
I’m going to tell you again about The Portal 0
which is my supplier of Takara Tomy beys.
You can always find them
on Instagram and YouTube
thanks to the QR codes you see on the screen.
A lot of you ordered from them
after my first videos
and I’m so excited
to inform you that you can now
benefit from a 10% discount code
on their complete website !
You can find all the details in the description.
I am delighted to meet you again
for this new video
where we can talk about the Random Booster vol.12
This is the B-125 set from Takara Tomy
where we can randomly obtain
one of the eight beys presented on the packaging.
For this volume,
the rare spinning top is the splendid Dead Hades.
The others are as usual in the random booster
recolors of spinning tops already edited.
We can get in this volume:
1- The rare bey : Dead Hades.11T.Z’
2 – Hell Salamander.G.Y
3 – Archer Hercules.H.Fr
4 – Maximum Garuda.7L.Sw
5 – Deep Chaos.0T.Xt
6 – Twin Nemesis.1’H.Wd
7 – Shelter Regulus.8’B.Ds’
8 – Beat Kukulcan.13D.Yr
On the back of the box, our famous sticker
is for once in a good position !
So we

can see a focus on Dead Hades
and on its reversible Turn frame
as well as an overview of the other 7 beys available.
It’s a really good random booster
that includes good beys !
Now let’s take a look at the instructions
before getting to the essence of the matter.
As usual,
let’s take a quick look at
the informations for this B-125.
We start with an overview
of the eight spinning tops available.
Then we find the instructions for assembly
the disks with a warning
about the rotating direction of the beys.
Below, the different sticker laying surfaces
as well as an explanation to remove
the God Chips with a driver.
On the back, we have diagrams that explain
the changing modes of Hell Salamander,
Twin Nemesis and the Xtend driver
present on Dead Chaos.
We end with the traditional information
on frame attachment on core-disks
and general warnings in Beyblade.
It is now time for me to talk about
the #2 Bey of this random Booster.
Here is Hell Salamander’s layer
in a splendid recolor that I was looking forward to receiving!
The superposition games created
by the two shades of gold and amber plastic
are very successful.
And I think it is again wise for Takara
to pass the Salamander in matt gold.
On the other hand it is a sad fact that this paint
doesn’t also cover the animal’s tail…
From a technical view,
the great interest of this layer
lies in its metallic impact points.
Indeed, the periphery is
completely weighted with metal
which can be seen very well by transparency
with this plastic.
This will give the bey excellent inertia
and stability.
The reliefs on the edge are also interesting
and offer excellent defence in this mode.
The teeth are not exceptional
but as this top is a left rotation
it should be compensated.
This bey also has a mode change
that couples plastic
and metal blades.
If the regularity of the top is reduced,
the use of much larger blades
will increase the power of the barrage attacks
and thus provoke the ejection
or even the Burst !
I find the gimmick very useful
on this layer of balance type
because it allows to compensate for many situations
with good stamina.
With a 21g weight and a maximum diameter of 57 mm
it’s a layer that I find very interesting
due to its properties.
Let’s move on to the disk.
This is Gravity which was released
under the dual layer system,
so it’s not a recent disk
and it’s impossible to add a frame.
Despite this,
it presents solid arguments due
to its high weight, its compact design compacte
and its mass mainly distributed on the outside
which gives it an excellent rotation dynamic.
It is also very useful to increase mobility
on attack-type combos.
I find it pertinent associated with Hell Salamander.
With its 21.50g,
you can’t say Gravity is a lightweight.
In reality, it easily surpasses
even half of the frame disks…
That it’ s not because a disk
is of a lower generation
that it has necessarily become obsolete…
Let’s talk about the Yielding driver, here’s the pictogram.
Its POM tip
coupled with a pointed shape
will significantly minimize
friction with the stadium,
so stamina should be excellent.
However, this will greatly facilitate ejections
and I’m not even talking about the significant imbalance
that the bey could suffer
if it’s destabilized by the opponent.
The spring is rather flexible
but the risk of Burst being reduced
by the low friction of the tip
t will be necessary to test it
to get an idea.
With a 5.80g weight and a 27mm height
this driver still seems to have
a good potential on a left turning spindle moulder.
In any case, I appreciate that the color
is linked to the layer.
The sticker palette is well filled
and some of them will be difficult to install…
But I find that the blue one
and the colors in the bey tone
should bring out the golden parts.
I’m going to put them down,
we’ll talk about it right now.
Here comes our layer with the stickers now!
The whole remains discreet without too much contrast
and the blue is simply here
to highlight the important visual aspects of the Bey.
That’s fine,
it’s subtle,
so
it’s really classy.
Let’s now proceed to the assembly of the bey
with its disk…
with its driver …
as previously noted
the burst rate seems rather high
but the profile is quite correct…
and this Yielding recolor
is simply made for this Bey!
This gives a weight of 48.30g
with the Gravity disk
and the Yielding driver
Tell me what you think about it
in the comments
but she’s so beautiful
that I’m never going
dare to play it…
Don’t worry, we’ll still test all this!
