Epic, the leading digital reading platform for kids, has launched a brand-new line of Cat Ninja toys based on its award-winning graphic book series that’s been read over 300 million times worldwide.
Created in 2019, Cat Ninja follows Claude — a martial arts, crime-fighting feline brought to life by author Matthew Cody and illustrator Yehudi Mercado. Developed using insights from Epic’s recommendation engine and young readers’ interests, the series quickly became a global favorite. Now spanning over 70 digital titles and six print books, Cat Ninjahas inspired multiple spinoffs including Kitten Ninja, Time Buddies, and Master Hamster Super Science.
Recognized by The Wall Street Journal, TODAY, and School Library Journal, Cat Ninja has earned top literary honors, including the Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award.
The new limited-edition action figures bring Claude from the page to playtime with three collectible designs — “Ready for Action!”, “The Quiet One,” and a third mystery figure arriving in February 2026.
“These toys bring Cat Ninja from the page right into kids’ playtime, inspiring creativity and imagination,” said author Matthew Cody.
