Bakugan Evolutions is the fourth installment of Bakugan's 2nd Generation. It featured the return of the main casts' original partner Bakugan. The toy line had decided to look back on its history and re-released multiple Bakugan from previous arcs, most of which have an updated design. Evolutions also added the Nanogan, a series of small accessories that call back to the B1 days of the series. The Geogan make a return as well although the Baku-Gear are notably absent. There was even a tie-in with Monster Jam, leading to monster truck toys that resembled Drago.
Due to the saturation of returning Bakugan, there was only a small amount of brand new Bakugan that were introduced. Bakugan Ultra's were also limited to returning Bakugan only, and even then only a handful. New to Evolutions is the Platinum line, where Bakugan would sometimes take on a translucent mold combined with Diecast Metal body parts. Interestingly enough, these tended to be more common than the standard releases. Due to what I assume were financial burdens combined with plans of wrapping up Generation 2, there were far more batches of mixed rarities and outright cancellations on a lot of Bakugan. The chase rarity Bakugan like Diamonds and Elemental-Rares also seemed to be notably more common than they probably should have been.
The dramatically increased variety of Bakugan, combined with a limited window to release them all gave documenting this section a similar vibe to New Vestroia. There were many good ideas and designs here, I only wish it could have been handled with as much grace as the first three series of Generation 2.
