XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN™ TOYS BRING KIDS' HIT ANIMATED TV SERIES TO LIFE
Exciting New Toy Line Includes Collectibles, Action Figures, Role Play Toys and More to Hit Shelves January 2006
NEW YORK, NY, December 8, 2005 - Toy Play, a division of global consumer products organization The Betesh Group, is thrilled to announce the retail debut of its Spring 2006 Xiaolin Showdown toy line; the premiere collection of toys inspired by Warner Bros. Animation's Emmy Award-winning television series Xiaolin Showdown.
Geared to boys 6-11 years of age, the collection is inspired by the Kung Fu mystical action-adventure comedy Xiaolin Showdown which features four young warriors with elemental powers who unite to bravely battle evil. The culturally diverse series chronicles Omi, a gifted Kung Fu monk, who leads three dragons-in-training, Kimiko, a wealthy Japanese girl hacker, Raimundo, a flashy Brazilian circus star, and Texas Kung Fu cowboy Clay on globetrotting adventures. The warriors seek to search and protect the Shen Gong Wu, ancient magical power objects that give possessors supernatural martial arts skills. The series which airs Saturday mornings (9:00am ET/8:00am PT) on Kids' WB!, debuted in November 2003 and has propelled into its third season.
Toy Play has translated the uniqueness of the magical adventure series into a line of classic action figures, collectibles and role play toys which warrior fans of Xiaolin Showdown are sure to love as much as their favorite characters from the hit television series. Said Jonathan Breiter, Senior Vice President of The Betesh Group, "We are so excited to launch our Xiaolin Showdown line at retail and to finally let kids collect and play with their TV heroes. We've translated the fantasy appeal of the show into toys that have everything a kid wants - collectibility, imaginative role play, action figure adventure."
