{{Neutral Tabs}}[[File:2fb1rb.jpg|thumb|A image of 2 two fake [[Bakugan]] (in the left and right), and 1 one real (in the center). They are all different size, and they are all [[Pyrus#Legacy|Pyrus]], but the smallest, however, is blue.]]
'''Fake Bakugan''', '''Bootleg Bakugan''', or '''Counterfeit Bakugan''' are illegal imitation of [[Bakugan]] made by people or companies other than SpinMaster. They are not official and cannot be used in Bakugan Tournaments. Some counterfeits are sold under similar package to official Bakugan, while others are sold under different names.
{{Nihongo|'''Bao Wan Boy'''|爆丸小子|Chinese: Bao Wan Xiao Zi}} is the first of the counterfeit Bakugan series that became nationally popular in Mainland China. Bao Wan is Chinese for Exploding Ball and it is written in the same character and read as "Bakugan" in Japanese. The counterfeit Bakugan line was based on 12 Battle Brawlers Bakugan, but with minor mold alterations and attribute changes. The line retained five of the official attributes and added one original attribute, changed the attribute symbols, and changed the color associated with Darkus. Like other counterfeits, Bao Wan Boy counterfeits are made with inferior plastic and poor paint job. Unlike official Bakugan, Bao Wan Boy Bakugan sold each type of Bakugan in one attribute only. Counterfeit Bao Wan Boy Bakugan also exist.
The counterfeit toy line spawn spawned a 32-episode slice-of-life live-action television series that focuses on teenagers and children playing with [[Deka (Legacy)|Deka-sized]] Bakugan.
