Kids can create their own Pinkalicious scenes with tiny magnetic pieces, by opening the Pinkalicious Storybook Keychain to find a background from Pinkalicious. They can then pull out the drawer, and use the pieces to recreate some of their favorite scenes from the book. Basic Fun is introducing six new handhelds in miniature carabiner format, including Fruit Ninja, Monopoly, Scrabble Flash, and classic Atari titles Break Out, Centipede, and Yars’ Revenge. All games play like the originals. For boys, products for The Amazing Spider-Man, hitting theaters in July, will include a Battle Launcher. The Battle Launcher comes with three Spider-Man tops that load and can be stored inside the launcher. Load the tops into the launcher, squeeze the handle, and watch the tops fly away and spin. Also, collect all three styles of The Amazing Spider-Man key chains. Each three-inch mini figure comes in a different action pose. Additionally, collect all four styles of Power Rangers Samurai mini key chains in red, blue, green, and gold. Each figure features a Super Samurai action pose and measures 2.5 inches tall. Super Samurai Power Rangers harness the mystical Samurai Symbols of Power to fight evil with the elements of fire, water, forest, and earth. Kids can battle as their favorite Ranger with the Battle Launcher. The Battle Launcher comes complete with three tops, each styled for a unique Power Ranger: Red, Blue, or Green. Each launcher stores all three tops for play on the go. Once kids are ready to battle, they load the tops, squeeze the handles, and the tops fly and spin.
