MEGA Brands' Battle Strikers named a "Most Wanted" toy by Time to Play
Time to Play's Jim Silver and Chris Byrne Select Battle Strikers as one of the Most Wanted Toys of Holiday '09
"Offering a new twist on a classic play pattern, Battle Strikers demonstrates that creative, classic play still has compelling appeal," says
Battle Strikers put a new spin on battling tops by letting kids launch without ripcords or pull strings, while giving them control of their tops for the first time. Kids rev up their Striker at 6000 RPMs through a handheld Turbo Launcher and release it into the arena for intense battling action. Once launched, kids can command their Striker using a controller to try and knock their opponent out of the arena.
"With Battle Strikers, we feature all the key characteristics of a hot selling boys' action toy: battling, collecting, customization, strategy and construction," states Vic Bertrand, Chief Innovation Officer of MEGA Brands. "We are honored that TimetoPlayMag.com has recognized Battle Strikers as a leading toy that offers excellent play value."
