Buzz Bee Toys Does…Battle Ballz?

I regularly peruse new patents and trademarks, but I still forget to check in on things, including one from Buzz Bee Toys: “Battle Ballz”. It was trademarked with reference to collectible toys, children’s entertainment, and a few other things…and until this past week, I never checked on it again. Oops.

Apparently, they’re a series of balls you can roll around and battle with, the objective being to knock off the headwear of your opponents. There’s a cartoon series on Youtube, with hundreds of thousands of views on each of the actual (short) cartoons themselves, and the toys are available online through various retailers from Amazon and Walmart to even Michael’s, of all places. Check the link for an actual commercial video, like you’d expect to see during Saturday morning cartoons.

There’s a post on Buzz Bee Toys’ Linkedin profile with more info on the actual campaign, and at a glance it would appear to be a success so far. Good for them, being able to branch out from making just blasters!
