![]() My hands-on session began with a look at the Rise Against The Empire playset. “He barely fits in the packaging by a millimetre,” Mat says. It’s a chunky, but detailed, figurine that towers over the others. My favourite figure, however, was the Hulkbuster, Iron Man’s powerful super suit designed to be able to combat The Hulk. The figurines of the emotions from Pixar’s Inside Out look like they were plucked right from a still-frame from the movie. I know a lot of Marvel fans when we did 2.0 said ‘I absolutely love these figures, they’re just super detailed-looking’, and people would sometimes just collect the toys themselves, which is very unique comparatively.”Īnd the figures certainly do look good – they’re bright and colourful, and manage to capture the personality of the characters they represent. I can show these off and people are like ‘Wow, this is really cool!’ and then I say ‘Yeah, these actually work in the game!’ ‘Whaaaaat?’ But yeah, I think that’s something that’s really unique to the Toys to Life group, is that if you’re a Star Wars fan you can collect these cool figures. “I think that’s one of the things that’s a very distinctive factor for us, we specifically try to make sure that not only do you get a cool game, but you get a cool toy collectible. “I think what’s really cool about is you actually get a physical collectible that you get to keep,” explains the game’s producer, Mathew Solie. Now Disney Infinity 3.0 is set to release next month, and while Disney and Marvel franchises will return, the big focus this time will be on Star Wars – with game worlds based on the Original Trilogy, the Clone Wars TV show, and the upcoming Episode VII. Its second instalment brought Marvel Superheroes into the fold, with the likes of Spider-Man and the Hulk. Disney Infinity is one such game which began by mashing up various Disney and Pixar franchises, with toys activating characters and game worlds. These games involve placing figures with special NFC tags onto a reader of some kind (usually stylised as a portal) in order to bring content into the game. What started with Activision’s Skylanders has since been adopted by various companies and franchises, from Pokémon to LEGO. Love it or loathe it, the Toys to Life genre is here to stay. ![]()
