Gary's bear blade, the White Tigers' heavy hitter: slow, wide and enormously powerful. Galzzly's Bear Axe brings the bit-beast's forepaw down like a felled tree and has cracked a steel stadium on screen. Its best-known fight is the first match of the Asian final, where Max's Draciel S has to absorb blow after blow and the two defenders' contest is decided by who can wait longer. Gary reappears in G-Revolution with the same blade.

Gary's Galzzly is an Attack Spin Gear System top made from a Galzzly Bit Chip depicting the bear itself, a War Bear Attack Ring, an Eight Wide Weight Disk, a Right Spin Gear and a Flat Base. Takara Tomy and Hasbro both put out further colourways of the mould afterward, including a purple-and-blue Hyperblades version and a separate Metal Master Series release.

Parts in detail

Slot	Part	Weight	Spin	Note
Attack Ring	War Bear	6.7 total (4.3 Core AR / 2.4 Sub AR) g	Right and Left	Marketed around a free-spinning Sub Ring meant to both resist wall-collision spin loss and hit opponents, but collectors find it accomplishes neither goal well on its own; the rounded Core AR is still recoil-heavy and fragile, with spiked sections that can break in either spin direction.
Sub Attack Ring	War Bear SAR	2.4 g	Left (favored when fixed)	Useless while free-spinning, producing only recoil and stability problems, but when fixed in place with the right Attack Ring and weight-disk pairing (notably Great Dragon or Dragon Breaker in left spin) it becomes a powerful, if breakage-prone, Smash Attack contact point.
Weight Disk	Eight Wide	12.7 (hard-edge mold) / 12.2 (soft-edge mold) g		A very light, moderately wide-distributed disk with minor niche use exposing Attack Rings that wider disks would obstruct, but generally outclassed by heavier options due to its light weight.
Spin Gear	Right Spin Gear	1.1 per shell (2.2 total, shells) / 1.73 (Regular SG Core Part plus Metal Weight Gear) g	Right	Standard shells with the lightweight plastic core plus a Metal Weight Gear installed; the standard-shell format's edge over Neo shells is that it permits a slightly heavier gimmicked Spin Gear setup on parts designed around the Metal Weight Gear.
Blade Base	SG Flat Base	4.4 g		The shortest base in the plastics format, marginally useful as a fallback for traditional upper attack or compacts, but its tip struggles to hold a flower pattern and offers only average stamina, leaving it outclassed by rubber- and metal-tipped alternatives.

Weights are single copies weighed on their own; a part can vary by a few tenths of a gram.

The competitive view

A plastic-generation Beyblade whose bear-themed War Bear attack ring is largely useless on its own, but whose free-spinning War Bear Sub-Ring becomes a genuine Smash Attack tool once fixed in place, most notably wedged against Dragon Breaker in a combo the author personally play-tested with strong results.

War Bear alone produces heavy recoil for only blunt smash and is further hindered by carrying a free-spinning Sub-Ring; fixed in place against Dragon Breaker's thick attack ring, the War Bear Sub-Ring delivers strong, low-recoil smash attack with excellent range, comparing favorably in the author's testing to high-recoil "OHKO" combos like Whale Crusher/Spike Dragon on both recoil and knockout consistency.

Verdict as the draft gives it: War Bear's Sub-Ring has genuine competitive niche use in the Dragon Breaker combo; the rest of the Beyblade has none, making it worthwhile mainly for bladers wanting to expand their range of attackers, otherwise for collection only.

AR War Bear: two bear heads plus three closely packed pickaxe-like protrusions
SAR War Bear SAR: free-spinning, two large pickaxe-like protrusions
WD 8 Wide
SG Right SG
BB SG Flat
Alternate versions: A-63 Paint Kit (White); A-110 BBA Attacker (Blue, with 8 Heavy instead of 8 Wide); several Random Booster color variants (RBV4-RBV7); Hyperblades Galzzly (Periwinkle/Purple); Metal Master Galzzly (Metallic Red)
