Created in Amsterdam, this is a line of thimble-sized affordable collectible characters, each with a code that can be scanned and used to light up a bracelet or to give you power for an app. Each character has a tiny code that is recognized with your camera.... the app is free; the toys are not. You may not buy an app for $2.99, but you might by the tiny plastic characters. In the story, you meet Moonflower from a lunar world, who embarks on a journey to discover the power of her moods. The toys will be part of an animated series to be released on YouTube.com/Hasbro and in the YouTube Kids app this Spring. So children can watch Hanazuki, collect Hanazuki and even snuggle up with a plush Hanazuki character for bedtime. The Moodgleam Wearable Band is battery powered and connects to your tablet with Bluetooth. Content includes several plush items, and 175 plastic characters to collect.
