Beyblade X Unleashes Global Grand Prix with Bangkok Finals, Major Anime Expo Plans

Beyblade X isn't just showing up at Anime Expo; it’s going global. While Hasbro prepares a massive presence at this year’s convention, the new generation of spinning tops is also launching a major competitive series, the Beyblade X Grand Prix, culminating in a final showdown in Bangkok.
Fans descending on the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 2-5 can expect a fully loaded Beyblade X experience. Hasbro, the master toy licensee for North America and Europe, will host a booth packed with new products. Expect the "Sneak Attack Battle Set" and fresh tops like the Attack-focused STRIKE DRAN 4-50 FF and Balance-type ROCKET GRIFFON H. Bladers can jump into free play areas and test their skills in on-site battles. The action peaks on July 4 with a full-day Beyblade X tournament, offering a chance at prizes for all skill levels.
Beyond the convention floor, Beyblade X is getting the Funko Pop! treatment. The first-ever figures, including Multi, Robin, and a Chase variant of Jaxon, drop July 1. A special off-site launch event hits Funko Hollywood on July 3.
“Top Bladers from these events will secure a spot at the ultimate Beyblade X Grand Prix Final in Bangkok.”
Catzye Take
What's striking here is the dual strategy: a major push at Anime Expo to engage fans directly, coupled with a truly global competitive circuit. Fans have been waiting for the series to scale up its esports presence, and a Bangkok final signals serious intent. Crucially, the original article had a typo regarding "Anime Expo 2026" when all dates point to the 2024 event; we've clarified this for accuracy.
