Battle Strikers will have you in a spin
Mega Brands’ Battle Strikers is one of the most anticipated launches of the year – and the full range is now on sale.
Reminiscent of the classic game Battling Gladiators, Battle Strikers takes the concept into new territory with armoured spinning tops that you can control during combat.
There are 16 Strikers to collect, each with different strengths and weaknesses. There are three performance categories – endurance, offence and defence – and each top is made up of six separate pieces that can be interchanged to make your own custom-designed Strikers.
With names like Tsunami, Cobra, Tank and Mauler, each Striker has its own character, and they are powered up by handheld Turbo Launchers to spin at a dizzying 6,500 rpm on almost any surface.
Once unleashed, you can control your Striker using the magnetically charged finger controller, deciding when to attack and when to retreat.
Individual Strikers are priced around £4.99 each, while a Starter Pack, including the Turbo Launcher, finger controller and one exclusive Striker, is priced around £9.99.
The Battle Strikers Tournament Set includes two Strikers, two Turbo Launchers and two finger controllers, as well as two Strikers and a combat Arena. It is priced around £24.99 (the Arena is also available separately for around £9.99).
Battle Strikers is for ages six and up and you can also visit www.battlestrikers.com for games, hints and the chance to build virtual Strikers.
Bought these for my kids and they absolutely love them! Will need to buy all of the tops available because they really like customizing the tops and being creative. They can play hours on end. Great gift idea and will be sure to be one of the hottest toys this holiday season!
