The story · 2002

The story of Spinstorm Battle Tops

Every Spinstorm top was built from swappable parts: a spiky crown, a heavy belly plate and a pointy toe that decided everything. Kids launched them into the arena bowl and screamed as they clashed and sparked. Lunch tables turned into tournaments. The kid with the heaviest belly plate was feared across the entire fourth grade.

Fun fact

Rumor said soaking your top's tip in hot water made it spin longer, and countless parents caught kids testing it.
