Threw this together today. A handy resource, especially after seeing so many people call wide survivor and wide defense fake, haha. It’s a full chart of every weight disk produced for the plastic generation, an image and name of each.
Will have a more informative guide to weight disks in the near future, but yeah. Enjoy!

As it says, the Gyro WD and Weight Ring are fake, but I lack authentic ones, and they’re decent fakes. There are a lot of fake Gyro WD’s out there, they were fairly common from a few fake manufacturers to beef up their cruddy fakes (there are actually whole fake Bearing Gyros, too). Real ones are much “cleaner” and have nicely bevelled edges rather than the abrupt rounding of the fakes, but generally, it’s hard to tell. Either way, not tournament legal, and nor is Weight Ring, which is only compatible with the derpy hidden spirit base from Hayate and the various clones of that.
I’d have posted this for BeyWiki, but my photography isn’t up to the standards or whatever. Ohwell.
Aaaand, that was AMAZING! Extremely helpful, you know!
I fail to understand though, why is Wide Defense superior to Wide Survivor? The latter is more circular…
I am glad.
Basically, I covered it in the Wide Defense article I wrote, but Wide Survivor is the lightest weight disk available, whilst Wide Defense is middleweight. Given weight disks are the main source of weight for plastics beys, wide survivor just doesn’t have enough for anything other than stamina.
LOL! I completely forgot about weight, haha!
Hm, that’s really helpful. Thanks! Just one quick question: as far as the Hasbro MG WD goes, is there any differences in it between the ones you listed above? And does a certain MG WD come with certain beyblades, or is it a booster pack-type thing?
Not really sure what the mold distribution for MG WD is like, sorry. It’s hard to tell because of the small number of plastic beys available to check, and people swapping weight disks and so on, it’s hard to find small details like that.
I think the Hasbro ones usually use the second mold, but I’m honestly not sure, as I said, it’s so hard to find that kind of information.
What I assume is that they switched to the connected mold later and then only produced that, but again, I really cannot be sure at all, and it could even be the other way around (though I’d be surprised if they moved to a more fragile design).
