Changes

'''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.

==Traits of Counterfeit Bakgaun==

=== Physical Toy ===

Counterfeit Bakugan, because of their goal of undercutting consumers, are mostly made of lower quality. Counterfeit Bakugan are usually made of lower grade plastic, where key traits include brittle material, thin walls, having a shiny finish, poor paintjob, and inconsistant size, while official Bakugan are made of durable plastic and have a matte finish. Some counterfeits may be made of different plastic color than the official six attributes, or lacks attribute symbol/having incorrect attribute symbol printed. Official Bakugan have triangle safety screws (not X's with the exception of a few first release), serial numbers, and have 'S/S/B' or 'ST/SML' and 'China' molded inside the toy. Counterfeits usually, but not always, lack these key identifications. The gate card included may be printed in bad quality, and may be in Chinese or bad English.
