Pumpking reached Japan in November 1999 as a Stamina Type entry in the Spin Gear System, running an Upper Force Attack Ring, a Wide Weight Disk and a Semi-Flat Blade Base beneath its Bump King Bit-Chip. That chip was the last Spin Gear release to reuse a design from Next Generation Beigoma Battle: Beyblade, since every Spin Gear top after it drew its Bit-Beast from Beyblade Fighting Tournament instead.

Parts in detail

No further release history given.

Slot	Part	Weight	Spin	Note
Attack Ring	Upper Force Ring	3.6 g	Right only	Wing faces serve as the main contact points, giving decent range and Smash Attack, but their angle makes the ring recoil-prone, keeping it behind top Smash rings like Triple Tiger; the overhanging wing design helps it on taller bases (at some cost against Circle Survivor Defense), similar to but slightly weaker than Triple Tiger, and a thin build makes it exceptionally fragile.
Weight Disk	Wide	12.7 g		Light with an average, fairly central weight spread — heavier than its Eight Wide successor — but its size still causes recoil despite the light weight; Ten Balance offers a similarly "average" spread more effectively.
Blade Base	Semi-Flat Base	7.2 g		Lightweight with usable Life-After-Death and a stable tip well suited to Stamina play; commonly paired with Ten Balance in Survival combos (the well-known "Semi-Flat Base Stamina" builds, e.g. "10bBistool"), which can beat typical tournament filler but lose to serious competitive combinations despite their reputation.

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

Community testing, Aug. 24, 2010 — summarised

The competitive view

The Upper Force Ring is rated barely usable, since first-generation rules force it into right spin, where its flat wings cause heavy recoil for almost no attack. The wings are prone to breaking. The Flat blade base is similarly outclassed and not worth using beyond collecting.
