Warrior Cat Trading Cards [Info/Pics]

I've had a lot of people asking about Warrior Cats trading cards. How do you get them? What cats are there? Why is Tigerstar so pudgy and cute? Okay... not really that last question, but I bet now you're wondering that too.

I've posted about these cards before, but I think they're so awesome that they deserve another mention. So... what are exactly are Warriors trading cards? They are little cards that come with the purchase of most Chinese Warriors books. A different card with each book. Each series features cards with cats from that series. The cards released so far are...

Warriors - Original Series: Firepaw, Bluestar, Tallstar, Graystripe, Tigerstar, and ThunderClan.

Warriors - The New Prophecy: Brambleclaw, Feathertail, Leafpaw, Onewhisker, Crowfeather, and Hawkfrost.

Warriors - The Power of Three: Hollypaw, Jaypaw, Lionpaw, Blackstar, Squirrelflight, and Breezepelt.

So far, no Omen of the Stars cards have been released.

(All in order with books. Into the Wild - Firepaw. Forest of Secrets - Tallstar. Etc. Click on a cat's name to view their card.)

Feathertail's Card...

There are two ways to get your paws on these awesome cards.

1. Go directly to China to purchase the books with cards included.

2. Purchase them off this website.

Unfortunately both require that you speak Chinese - and if you are like me, utterly hopeless at trying to decipher the strange symbols, then you're out of luck. :( I've found no other places (in English) where you can buy the books with trading cards, or just the cards.

Do you think America should have Warriors trading cards?

Doesn't Tigerstar look all fluffy and hug-able in his card? :3

Jay x Stick

I would like to dedicate this post to what is perhaps one of my favorite Warrior couples ever... Jayfeather x Stick. This relationship was formed back in Warriors: Power of Three, Dark River. Ever since then, the Stick (Sometimes referred to as the Magical Stick of Wonder) and Jayfeather have shared a meaningful, deep relationship.

The Stick has comforted Jayfeather in his times of need:

"Disappointed, Jaypaw laid down beside the stick and rested his cheek on the smooth wood."

- Dark River p. 214

In return, Jayfeather protects the Stick valiantly. He frequently visits it (er... her?) to check on it's safety.

So let us take a moment to awwww at this adorable couple.

-Sorrelpaw

XD LOL.

What's your favorite Warriors couple?

Ravenpaw Manga + The Fourth Apprentice!

Its the 24th! The release date for two awesome new Warriors titles, Ravenpaw's Path #1 - Shattered Peace and Omen of the Stars #1 - The Fourth Apprentice!

The Fourth Apprentice continues the Power of Three saga with the introduction of the final prophecy cat--Dovekit! Secrets will be revealed, lives jeopardized and the balance of the Clans will be shifted. This is one book you do not want to miss! Spoilers will be posted soon!

Shattered Peace puts a beloved character, Ravenpaw, back in the spotlight. The former apprentice's life is about to be uprooted and things will never again be the same.

More theories and spoilers soon! Have you read the new Warriors titles yet? Post theories, spoilers and thoughts in the comments!

Theories...

After surfing through 300+ comments, I must admit, I found some fascinating theories! Here are a few theories I found and my thoughts on them. Feel free to share your thoughts too in the comment section of this post! :)

*WARNING :*

The following content contains spoilers for Sunrise and possibly Omen of the Stars.

Theory #1 - A Dark Future?

I've heard a lot of speculation recently about Ivypaw. Vicky Holmes (One of the Erins) seems to be hinting on Ivypaw possibly playing a dark roll in the books. During a Wands and Worlds Author Chat, Vicky was asked "Will Ivykit be Evil?" To which the author replied:

"VickyHolmes(A): She'll be pretty miffed that her sister is getting all the attention, that's for sure!"

It has been confirmed that Dovepaw is the "fourth apprentice" and she will be the final cat in the "Power of Three" prophecy. Could it be possible that Ivypaw grows dark because of jealousy? This brings up the rumor - Will Ivypaw be jealous enough that she teams up with Hollyleaf?

Remember Ashfur betraying his Clan because of Squirrelflight? Perhaps Ivypaw will follow in his pawsteps?

This theory, of course, is dependent on whether or not Hollyleaf survived the tunnels. (I have a suspicion she did!) Even if Hollyleaf is indeed dead, Ivypaw could make a dark character, perhaps not a full fledged villain, but maybe a misunderstood cat who could cause some trouble...

Theory #2 - Love is in the Air?

I cannot resist commenting on this pair brought up by Brightstar. Lionblaze & Cinderheart? It could be a possibility.

Cinderheart is a reincarnation of Cinderpelt. It was revealed in an Author Chat that Cinderpelt was in love with Firestar. Hmmm... Could some of Cinderpelt's feelings be inside Cinderheart? Firestar might be too old for her, but Lionblaze is similar in appearance to ThunderClan's leader...

However, after scanning the Power of Three series for possible LionxCinder hints, I have come up empty handed - er empty pawed. It seems like the logical mate choices for Lionblaze are Heathertail or Icecloud. (Vicky has hinted towards LionxIce) Who knows, maybe the Erins will surprise LionxCinder fans in Omen of the Stars... Keep a sharp eye out for hints!

Theory #3 - Tricky Relations?

Warriors fans have seriously wondered the identity of Firestar's parents ever since the hint dropped in The Rise of Scourge when Quince, Scourge's mother, comments on how odd it was that none of her kits inherited their father's ginger coat. Later the Erins revealed that Scourge and Firestar where half-brothers.

With the release of Bluestar's Prophecy, another character was introduced - Jake. A plump ginger kittypet with a keen interest in the forest. This lead fans to the belief that Jake was the father to Firestar and Scourge.

Unfortunately no other information has been revealed, so for now, this is merely a theory. Hopefully the Erins will shed some light upon this mystery!

(Thanks, Dreamstar for bringing this to my attention!)

Theory #4 - A New Threat?

Okay, I really like this theory that Silverstar thought up. Very original, and possible - take a look:

"I wonder if Brokenstar had a mate before he became leader. Maybe he has kits somewhere. Possible new villains? Because they've exhausted the idea of Tigerstar's kits being evil. Both of Tigerstar's sons are evil. So maybe they'll make Brokenstar have a kit that is evil. Just maybe?"

What are your thoughts on this idea?

-Sorrelpaw

Only four days until the release of The Fourth Apprentice & Shattered Peace!

Jaypaw Quote

Perhaps one of my favorite Jaypaw quotes was from The Sight when Jaypaw met Yellowfang in his dreams.

"And who decides what I should and should not hear?"

Jaypaw, The Sight, page 272.

I guess I like this quote so much because it show's Jaypaw's temper and disregard for formalities. Jaypaw has earned his place among my favorite cats, with his prickly temper and Crowfeather-like personality.

What do you think of Jaypaw? Is he one of your favorites or are you driven to insanity by his personality?

-Sorrelpaw

Jayfeather Pictures!

I saw this picture the other day and thought it looked a lot like Jayfeather. What do you think?

I love this cat's eyes. They are a beautiful soft sky-blue, and the grey tabby pelt of this cat really complements the eyes.

Do you have any favorite pictures of the Warrior Cats?

-Sorrelpaw

Also, Warrior Cats news has been very slow lately. Not many new developments are happening...I think the Erins are up to something!

Is she really gone for good?

WARNING: The following contains LARGE spoilers for Sunrise!!

Sunrise...the book that left us all shaking our heads in disbelief. The shear shockingness of the book made many readers crave the upcoming series Omen of the Stars--the continuation of Power of Three.

Perhaps the largest shocker was the 'death' of Hollyleaf...but is she really gone for good? Could she have found a way to survive? After all she has been in the tunnels before...maybe she found a safe haven. It just seems a bit strange to me that she would die so suddenly...she has a lot of potential as a villain or even just a misguided cat.

Maybe she really did die, but is watching from the Dark Forest/StarClan. Erin never confirmed that she went to either place. Erin Hunter surprised us once, and I think she'll do it again.

What ever happened, I still think she has a part to play in the upcoming series, Omen of the Stars.

-Sorrelpaw

Do YOU think Holly is gone for good?
