Upper Deck is releasing a trading card game based on the anime property Huntik: Secrets and Seekers in March 2009 in North America.  The actual animated cartoon series, which Upper Deck is co-producing with Rainbow SpA (Winx Club), will debut on the new 4Kids Saturday morning animation block on the CW network on January 3rd.

Targeted at kids from 6-12, the Huntik cartoon follows the adventures of a group of young seekers who travel the world to find powerful spirit warriors called Titans who will help them battle against the criminal mastermind known as The Professor and his minions (see “Upper Deck Debuts Huntik: Secrets and Seekers”).
