MAX STEEL™ Deluxe Turbo Battlers* (with Ultralink™) Basic Figure
Deluxe Turbo Battlers are all about Max Steel competition and include special base stands that spin the figures to battle opponents.

To unleash fighting capabilities activate the spinning battle base with the retractable pull-string, it will go faster as pulled. After the base has been primed the figure’s side edges light up with built-in LEDs and, when spun, create a “Turbo energy” sphere effect. Now it’s time for the rivalry to begin as the Turbo Battlers race toward one another in a skirmish of speed! Figures come with both energy blades and battle bumper blades that can be interchanged for cool customization. Includes figure, base, two energy and battle bumper blades.
