This fall, two merchandise launches will capitalize on the success of the faux-anime series Xiaolin Showdown, which is airing daily on the Kids WB. 

 

Toy Play is releasing a second series of toys following up its Spring launch (see 'Toy Play Gets Xiaolin Showdown').  The second series will include two Collectible PVC Figures Sets, Warrior Attire Heroes & Chase Young Human, and Omi Battling Four Villains.  Two action figure SKUs (Articulated Action Figure Assortment -- Warrior Attire and Winter Themes and Omi Action Figure with Warrior Attire), three vehicle SKUs (Crouching Cougar Vehicle, Omi in Tunnel Armadillo Mechanized Vehicle, and Deluxe Manta Ray Vehicle), and two electronic role play SKUs (Fist of Tebigong and Monkey Staff) are planned. 

 

Wizards of the Coast's Xiaolin Showdown TCG (see 'WotC Debuts Xiaolin Showdown') is releasing October 15th, National Martial Arts Day.  Noting that Upper Deck's Avatar was going to be released at the same time, Wizards of the Coast said, 'We take that as a great compliment.' 

 

Xiaolin Showdown is the #1 show for boys 9-12, and #1 in its time slot, according to WotC.
