Here is all the info –
Get ready for smart toys and connected play like you’ve never seen before! Introducing Lightseekers, an action adventure role playing game built for mobile phones and tablets that fuses together fantasy and reality. Powered by a proprietary technology platform that integrates video games, smart action figures with artificial intelligence, augmented reality, interactive trading cards and more, Lightseekers (Powered by PlayFusion) is the most ambitious transmedia entertainment platform ever envisioned. The hi-tech FusionCore, the powerful mini-computer embedded within each action figure and the “brains” behind the smart connected toys, completely eliminates the need for cumbersome NFC portals, allowing the game to seamlessly connect to TOMY’s 7” collector-quality, articulated smart action figures. Players can add physical accessories to their figures and scan trading cards with the app to customize their gameplay. It fireballs the roof off other action and fantasy adventure role playing games, melding together augmented reality trading cards, smart action figures, interchangeable accessories, and more.
Lightseekers Heroes and Accessories
Lightseekers smart action figures deliver real-time two-way interaction between your hero and the game. They talk, vibrate, and use different colored lights to show status and to help guide gameplay. Lightseekers also offers next level interchangeable accessories. Equipping a weapon or accessory onto an action figure will have an immediate effect in the game and vice versa, opening up new abilities and adventures. In addition, flight packs can be added to any hero, allowing
players to magically control their in-game character by moving the toy. Your hero’s evolving in- game attributes, accomplishments, and lineage are stored so that your hero is truly one-of-a- kind. Mari or Tyrax Starter Kit SRP: $69.99. Accessories SRP: $14.99. Ages: 8 years and up.
