Akedo®
Dive into action with Akedo battle figures. Over 100 warriors to collect, spectacular arenas, and the unique split-strike mechanism that transforms every battle into an epic moment.
About the Akedo Brand
Akedo revolutionized the world of battle toys in 2021 with its innovative concept of ready-to-play warriors. Created by Moose Toys, an Australian company founded in 1985, Akedo represents the largest boys’ line ever launched by the brand.
The name “Akedo” comes from the Japanese word meaning “game room,” a tribute to the retro arcade games that inspired the entire range. The goal was to recreate the excitement of classic fighting games in a physical format, allowing kids to battle face-to-face rather than in front of a screen.
What truly sets Akedo apart is its signature “split-strike” mechanism. Unlike other battle figures, Akedo warriors physically split in two when hit with the perfect strike, creating spectacular and addictive battles without complicated rules to learn.
Today, the range includes over 100 different warriors spread across several exciting series, from the original Ultimate Arcade Warriors to exclusive collaborations with iconic franchises like Sonic the Hedgehog and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Moose Toys has established strategic partnerships with WildBrain to create immersive animated content and with Nickelodeon to organize interactive tournaments, ensuring that Akedo offers a complete experience that engages children both online and offline.

Akedo has captured the toy market by tapping into what kids truly enjoy. The ultra-fast battles perfectly match how children play during recess and after-school gatherings, where quick rounds allow everyone to participate without waiting endlessly.
Parents appreciate toys that encourage face-to-face interactions rather than screen time, and that’s exactly what Akedo delivers. The instant-play concept – ready to battle right out of the package – eliminates the complexity of assembly and complicated rules, allowing children to immediately engage in exciting battles that develop both hand-eye coordination and strategic thinking.
The collectible aspect resonates particularly well, where trading and comparing figures has always been part of playground culture. With over 100 different warriors to collect across various series – from the original Ultimate Arcade Warriors to exclusive collaborations with TMNT and Sonic – kids can customize their battle teams and develop their own unique strategies.
Retailers have embraced this line enthusiastically, giving it prominent shelf space in major stores across countries, which helps maintain its visibility and accessibility for families shopping for birthdays or special occasions throughout the year. Akedo’s success reflects a global trend, with the brand experiencing significant growth since its 2021 launch, supported by strategic partnerships including WildBrain for animated content and Nickelodeon for interactive tournaments that resonate particularly well with how modern children engage with brands today.
Why Buy Akedo Toys
Akedo offers a perfect balance between collecting and playability that’s missing from so many other toy lines. Each warrior has unique strengths, distinctive weapons, and its own fighting style, meaning building your team becomes a strategic experience rather than simple accumulation.
The split-strike mechanism creates real competition where skill matters. Kids develop hand-eye coordination, learn strategic thinking, and engage in healthy competition, all through duels that last only seconds but create memorable play moments.
Collaborations with iconic franchises like Sonic, Knuckles, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles transform characters kids already love into collectible warriors, creating connections between different entertainment universes and expanding play possibilities in exciting ways.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Akedo range includes over 100 different warriors across several series, including Ultimate Arcade Warriors, Powerstorm (with elemental characters), Ninja Fury, Beast Strike, and special collaborations with Sonic the Hedgehog and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Each series introduces new characters with unique designs, distinctive weapons, and varied fighting styles.
The game is simple: attach your Akedo warrior to its controller (each figure fits onto a coin-shaped base and slides into the controller slot), then strike your controller’s button to launch your warrior against your opponent’s. The unique split-strike mechanism causes warriors to split in two when hit with the right force and angle – the last warrior standing wins the battle.
Akedo toy prices vary by pack type. Individual mystery packs typically cost between $8-12, versus packs (with two warriors and two controllers) range from $15-20, starter packs cost $20-30, and complete battle arenas range from $40-50 depending on features and included sound/light effects.
Each Akedo warrior has a base that fits a standard coin (like a quarter). First insert the coin into the warrior’s base until it clicks firmly, then slide the assembled warrior into the designated slot on your Akedo controller. The warrior should insert securely but remain easy to remove for swapping between battles.
The most sought-after warrior is the Mythical Lightning Viking Stormstrike, a limited edition that glows in the dark and was exclusively available in certain Powerstorm collector packs. Other highly prized rare figures include Lord Shifta (which combines all four elemental powers) and exclusive metallic gold versions of popular warriors that appeared in limited retailer promotions.
Akedo is officially recommended for children ages 6 and up. The minimum age is set because the figures contain small parts (notably the coins used for the base) that could present a choking hazard for younger children. The gameplay mechanics are designed to be easy to understand for 6-year-olds while remaining engaging for older children and even adult collectors.
Akedo is manufactured by Moose Toys, an Australian toy company founded in 1985. Moose Toys has become a major player in the toy industry through successful brands like Shopkins, Treasure X, and Heroes of Goo Jit Zu. For Akedo, Moose partnered with WildBrain to create animated content and Nickelodeon to organize tournament events, making it much more than just a toy line.
The Akedo range includes several product types: Mystery Packs (containing one surprise warrior and accessories), Versus Packs (two warriors with controllers for immediate battles), Starter Packs (several warriors with a premium controller and training dummy), Battle Arenas (battle platforms with sound and light effects), Collector Packs (multi-sets with rare warriors), and Giant Packs (oversized figures for epic battles).
Each warrior features unique weapons (swords, axes, hammers, claws), distinctive design aesthetics inspired by different warrior cultures and eras, the signature split-strike mechanism that makes them separate upon impact, and the ability to interchange upper and lower parts between different warriors to create custom combos. Powerstorm series warriors also have elemental powers (fire, water, lightning, earth, shadow, light) that add a strategic layer to battles.
