Epic Introduces Exciting Cat Ninja Toy Line
The New Toy Line Will Bring Cat Ninja Adventures to Life and Inspire Imaginative Play
Today, Epic, the leading digital reading platform for children, announced the launch of its highly anticipated Cat Ninja children's toys. These toys stem from the platform's acclaimed graphic book series, which has captivated over 300 million young readers globally. This new collection features three figurines of Claude, the brave protagonist from the Cat Ninja saga, each depicting thrilling scenarios that speak to the adventurous spirit of kids everywhere.
Since its inception in 2019, Cat Ninja has been developed to align with the interests of children, focusing on dynamic and relatable characters. Utilizing insights from its book recommendation engine and the prevailing reading trends among young audiences, Epic crafted this in-house title to inspire the next generation of readers. The creative brain behind the character, author Matthew Cody, along with illustrator Yehudi Mercado, successfully breathed life into Claude, leading to a series that has become a beloved staple among children.
Currently extending over 70 digital books and six print editions, Cat Ninja stands as Epic's most successful series. Its remarkable journey has inspired various spinoffs, including Kitten Ninja, Time Buddies, and Master Hamster Super Science. The series has garnered acclaim from numerous publications, being highlighted by The Wall Street Journal and TODAY, along with receiving notable awards such as the Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards and recognition from the Midwest Independent Publishers Association.
Earlier this year, Cat Ninja earned a spot in a New York Times roundup that showcased kid-approved recommendations, sitting comfortably amongst the favorites like Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Dav Pilkey. This kind of exposure continues to solidify the series' reputation as a cornerstone in children’s literature.
Matt Cody expressed enthusiasm for the new toys, stating, "These new toys will bring Cat Ninja from the page right into kids' playtime, helping them spark their imaginations and empowering them to create their own Cat Ninja adventures that extend beyond the book series. We hope these toys will help foster a love for storytelling and lifelong learning, and strengthen kids' creativity and emotional learning skills.”
As of today, the new limited-edition Cat Ninja action figures can be purchased for $19.99 each. Available at shop.getepic.com, the collection includes three delightful varieties, featuring:
