About Battle Strikers

Launched in 2009, Battle Strikers put a new spin on battling tops by being the only turbo-powered battling top that can be controlled with the power of magnetism! This year, the new Metal XS system introduces parts made of pure metal alloy, creating a more powerful and exciting battle. Kids rev up their Striker at 6000 RPM with the motorized Turbo Boost Launcher and then release them into the Arena. Kids will be able to hear the sound of metal clashing as they guide their Striker with the DLX Controller.

Each Striker is based on a unique StrikerSoul, with a detailed design and personality to collect. Kids can customize the Weapon, Booster and Tip to change the Striker's performance in three categories: Attack, Defense, and Control and match their Striker with their unique style of play.
