As part of its licensed WWE product line, TOMY is introducing WWE Blitz Brawlers, which take the form of character-themed, life-size battle gloves. With this WWE toy, kids are able to slip their hands inside the gloves and take on the role of a brawler in a battling game. While there have been countless wrestling and boxing toys introduced for kids, the WWE Blitz Brawlers set themselves apart for being like a cross between a pair of punching gloves and a plush toy.
After being exhibited at the New York Toy Fair, these brawling toys are set to be available through mass retailers as of the autumn, just in time for the start of the holiday shopping season.
