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:
“As we broaden our content portfolio, we’re partnering with leaders in the industry to tell original, engaging stories, while also leveraging our established catalogue of IP,” said Jennifer Dodge, President of Spin Master Entertainment.
“Pembe creates a space to celebrate kindness and belonging – we’re proud to bring that spirit to life with toys that reflect the joy of self expression and inclusivity,” said Rainbow Designs MD Anthony Temple.
“Bringing the Barbie brand into the Playmobil world builds on values we both share and marks the next step in our partnership with Mattel,” said Playmobil CEO Bahri Kurter.
