About Battle Strikers

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. Kids can collect sixteen unique and customizable Strikers.
