==Traits of Counterfeit Bakugan==
=== 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 inconsistent 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.

{{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 a 32-episode slice-of-life live-action television series that focuses on teenagers and children playing with [[Deka (Legacy)|Deka-sized]] Bakugan.
