Battle Shields®…Champions of the Su Bat Shi, is an exciting new collectible game for tweens, slated for launch at Toy Fair in New York in February 2006. Based on an action-packed entertainment property created by Tornasis Entertainment, it features edgy characters like Mercron of the Humetaloidz and the dreaded Sulfur of Molten. The game centers on teams of alien extreme athletes as they challenge the perilous Spine of Living Rock, Thunder Raptor, and more, in the galaxies’ greatest competition.

To play, kids collect high quality metal game pieces (called Xtreme Metal Game Shields) which depict Champions and creatures (over 170 designs). Kids toss these Velcro®-backed Shields at target zones on a standing 3-sided pyramid-shaped game board. As the Shields hit, they hook on and score points.

Battle Shields® has received high praise from kids, parents, and experts alike. Robert Reiher, noted educational and media psychologist, and co-author of “What Kids Buy and Why”, says: "Wow! Battle Shields is an exciting non-violent game for today’s kids that’s loaded with stunning visual images, compelling characters, great packaging and even dual gender appeal…first class…and the web site is a knockout. Thank you, Tornasis Entertainment…"
