Sphero debuts voice interactive Spider-Man
Posted on 16th June 2017By Adam Butler
Sphero has launched its latest collaboration with Disney in the form of a voice interactive Spider-Man toy.
Following the firm’s previous Disney releases (BB-8 and Ultimate Lightning McQueen), Sphero’s Spider-Man is built with fully animated LCD eyes and motion detection.
He can react to people passing by using his Spider-Sense (or a built-in IR sensor), act as an alarm or a room guard and kids can ask him questions and present commands that he’ll respond to.
Kids can take part in 25 super villain missions with the stationary toy or play one of 15 games, while the web-slinger also has 100 jokes and 20 stories in his locker.
Users can also create a super hero identity and keep tabs on their accomplishments as Sphero adds new updates and content to the app-enabled toy over time.
Sphero’s Spider-Man costs £149.99 and you can check him out in action below:
“The horror and otherworldly genres have massive multigenerational appeal,” said Gerhard Runken, Executive Vice President of Brand & Marketing at Jazwares.
“Netflix, Mattel and Hasbro joining forces on this first-of-its-kind collaboration means fans can finally get their hands on the best dolls, games, and merchandise they’ve been not-so-subtly demanding,” said Marian Lee, Chief Marketing Officer at Netflix.
“Disney Princess and Disney Frozen capture hearts around the world, and we’re thrilled to extend our relationship,” said Nick Karamanos, Senior Vice President of Entertainment Partnerships at Mattel.
