Angry Birds Star Wars 2 with Interactive Toys

Angry Birds Star Wars 2



Players will be able to unlock their favorite Angry Birds Star Wars characters in the app whenever they want, with new toys.

Hasbro's Angry Birds Star Wars Telepods, announced Monday morning, work with Rovio's upcoming Angry Birds Star Wars II game. Each playset comes with different figures that can work independently or can be scanned into the game.

The Telepod figures are each about an inch high and depict Angry Birds versions of popular Star Wars characters. There are characters fans already know from the previous game, as well as new additions from the Star Wars prequels — like Jar Jar Binks, General Grievous and Darth Maul. There are 30 figures in all.

Each figure has a code on its base that can be scanned by the front-facing camera on iOS, Android, Windows 8 and Blackberry phones and tablets. At any point, players can decide to import one of their action figures in place of the character sitting on the slingshot at the start of the level.

There will also be a new "Pork Side" mode, which will allow players to toss the Empire pigs from the slingshot.

Hasbro sent employees to Helsinki to work with Rovio for several weeks to perfect the design, a Hasbro spokesperson told Mashable.

The Telepods packs will hit retail shelves in August and will cost between $5.99 for a few figures to $39.99 for a Star Destroyer playset. Angry Birds Star Wars II will be out Sept. 19 and costs $0.99 or $2.99 for the HD version.

Skylanders and Disney Infinity have started a trend!!

^Indeed they have, what do you think of these figures?

They look pretty cool, and I always loved Star Wars. But what is up with these 40 dollar play sets. Seems rather expensive for a mobile game.

Looks naff.

Although everyone is jumping on the skylander bandwagon now.

Angry Birds has always been very Eco-friendly.
I'm sorry, I like these games, people rag on them too much, but... This is just the last straw, I'm sick of getting uninteresting reskins. Remember Angry Birds: Rio? I DON'T EITHER. Space was the only interesting one after the first game as that actually added some pretty awesome new mechanics, but nothing that couldn't have been in an update. I know that they give us updates for free, et al, but I just wish that they would focus with it more, adding more interesting, unique mechanics to each world, instead of churning out pointless spin-offs.

Also, my face when someone takes pictures of the bottom of the figures. LOL.

Alright, lets count the toy games:
UB Funkies
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Skylanders: Giants
Disney Infinity
Skylanders: Swap Force
That one from Hasbro
Pokemon Rumble (I think)
Angry Birds: Star Wars 2

The figures look so....meh

All we need now is a crash bandicoot figure game!
