Funko, Marvel Partner on Battleworld Game
Funko and Marvel have collaborated on a new collectible game in which Thanos has created Battleworld where some of Marvel’s great heroes face epic fights. The game features 30 collectible mini pieces and each figure will have a retrospective card for gameplay. Funko will also release animated shorts to show the heroes as they journey to Battleworld.
There are two packs currently available. The first is the mysterious Battle Ball with two heroes, including one in the Thanostone and the second is a starter pack with Negative Suit Spider-Man. The Funko Marvel Battleworld figures are $8.99 each and the Mega Pack with the Negative Suit Spider-Man is $24.99.
The game’s description reads, “The brand new Funko tabletop gaming system, based on the Marvel Universe, combines micro collectible characters, cards and gaming, allowing kids to battle against Thanos in gameplay unleashed through a Battle Ball. Each Battle Ball contains a surprise of two Marvel collectable characters, Hero Cards, Battle Cards and pair of dice, all for a highly accessible price point. Players can collect Marvel micro heroes ranging from icons like Iron Man, Captain Marvel and Groot, as well as characters like Valkyrie Gamora and Throg.”
“We are thrilled that Marvel has chosen to expand the Funko collaboration to engage their younger fans with a new category of products and animation collaboration,” Brian Mariotti, Chief Executive Officer of Funko, said. “Funko enters the toy aisle for the first time with a product offering of tremendous value. In addition to two micro-collectible characters inside the Battle Ball, the child can battle independently or team up with friends to defeat Thanos through game play. This kind of product assortment is both what kids want and what retailers are keen to offer parents.”
“Battleworld offers kids a completely new way to play and interact with the Marvel brand and universe of characters they know and love,” Paul Gitter, SVP, Marvel Licensing, said. “The innovative tabletop gaming plus action-packed storytelling gives kids an immersive experience that’s fresh for the Marvel Brand.”
