Pat Avenue is ramping up its marketing ahead of the introduction of its new collectible range Battle Heads, with a fun, kid-focused YouTube channel, which will host regular animated webisodes starring the heroes and villains of the Battle Heads’ world.
The first three webisodes went live on 30th June 2023,three weeks ahead of the toy launch. Each features the main Battle Heads characters and their battle for supremacy on a dangerous planet, known as the Danger Zone. Here five different clans compete against one other for food and territory in order to survive. The short-animated films are packed with good vs evil action, centred around key locations such as Leuk City, home of the Power Heroes Clan.
“We are delighted to unveilthis new animation channel for Battle Heads. To watch the webisodes, kids can scan the QR and with new drops planned every 10 days there’s plenty to keep them coming back for more”
Carmel Wright, Marketing Manager at Pat Avenue
The Battle Heads toys launch in late-July 2023 and feature 90 characters to collect in series 1 including rare gold and silver pieces. Children can collect all the clans, choose their favourites and compete against the opposing team! Offering long-lasting, repeat play value, Battle Heads are available as blind foil-bag collectibles, complete with one surprise character and a collector’s leaflet. 2 pack and 4 pack blisters are also available to further drive collectability. There will also be a range of playsets launching for Autumn/Winter.
