Inspired by the hit Cartoon Network show, the Ben 10 Alien Voice Changer is a cool role-play toy in which kids speak into the microphone and hear the wearable modulator distort their voice so they sound like an out-of-this-world creature. To complete the look, the three included glasses are made to resemble popular show characters such as Four Arms, Heatblast or Grey Matter. Two different sets with various character glasses are available. Launch date: January 2007.

Tamagotchi Connection is the world’s first and most popular virtual pet toy, and the V4 lets kids “live the Tamagotchi life 24/7.” Children can guide their Tamagotchi characters through life’s daily adventures by playing games, going to school, and choosing a fun career, such as rock star, fashion designer, scientist or doctor. V4 also offers fans the ability to continue visiting the interactive online world of Tamagotchi Town, where kids can shop at the mall and go to school and work. Launch date: January 2007.

This toy features touch-screen technology that puts personality quizzes at kids’ fingertips, and can also connect to a computer with its USB drive. Tweens can log onto the Girlz Connect web community to create, share and download their own quizzes. Destiny comes in various colors and can be attached to purses, backpacks or belt loops, or worn around the neck. Cliff Jin of The Rogers Group said the youth electronics category grew 22 percent in 2006, according to NPD Group. “Bandai America is leveraging its success in the category — with the top selling “virtual pet” Tamagotchi Connection — to launch the new Girlz Connect brand,” he added. Launch date: July 2007.

The Overdrive Tracker Morpher comes equipped with a unique black light feature that enables kids to decode and decipher clues like their favorite Power Ranger. Clues can be found on the five included scan cards as well as on the packaging of other Operation Overdrive toys. The cell phone-like morpher features a fun keypad that creates many different sound combinations, as well as a rolling wheel at the bottom that imitates a vehicle sound. Launch Date: January 2007.

The alien adventures of Ben 10 come to life with the realistic Omnitrix F/X.  This awesome role-play toy can be worn on the wrist — just like the one our favorite hero Ben Tennyson wears — and features red and green flashing lights, as well as sound effects direct from the show.  Turn the dial to select from one of the 10 alien characters and then press down on the face of the Omnitrix to launch the cool transformation action. This lineup will return in 2007 with different alien characters, as well as new unique features once they have been transformed.
— Cliff Jin, a public relations rep for Bandai America, described Ben 10 Omnitrix F/X as “mini role-play toys.” He told TDmonthly that, “It’s like having two different toys in one.”

This handheld electronic ant farm has electronic ants that scurry about, dig holes, feed their queen and do all the “anty” things ants do, like destroying nests, finding yummy caterpillars and — if they’re not careful — getting eaten by passing spiders. Unlike a real ant farm, this thing will never accidentally unleash ants into the wild of a child’s bedroom.

The Dragon Rootcore Command Center comes with a 5” figure and has two cool play modes — Dragon Tower and Train mode — that include totally awesome features such as missile firing, cycle launching, zip line and more. There is a unique light up feature in both modes and the playset includes a vehicle that doubles as a helicopter. Attach Power Rangers Mystic Force cycles to the special launcher to watch them race away from the tower to fight evil. The tower mode also includes built-in defense mechanisms such as missile firing, the dragon’s jaw trap that stops aliens in their tracks and the ranger ejector seat. In train mode, rangers and their cycles can be stored in the back of the train to take them to their next important mission. It launches August 2006.

Continuing their long-standing popularity with fans, the third assortment of 5" action figures in 2006 are here to "Get Powerized," this time with a cool sound feature. The Mystic Sound Red, Green and Yellow figures speak multiple phrases from the show by pressing a button on the Ranger’s belt buckle and come with awesome glow-in-the-dark weapon and accessories for the first time. The Mystic Sound Power Rangers also come in Blue and Pink (sounds only). Launch date: August 2006.

Even though we really don’t know how the aliens in "Ben 10" wound up in the Omnitrix in the first place, we do know that they traveled their home planets in style! Greymatter's awesome alien ship is unique because of the special DNA structure or terrain in which they lived. Greymatter’s transforms into a flying saucer … with wheels, while Fourarm’s comes with two steering wheels to accommodate his numerous appendages! All the vehicles also have a fun “water-pumping” action feature. Push the pump on the top of each vehicle to see the water flow via specially designed power tubes.

This large scale 8” Metamorfigure starts off as a harmless alien but transforms into something totally different: a mini role-play toy. Ripjaws, the water creature, can transform into a functioning squirt gun.

When these alien rocks are dissolved in warm water, the "DNA" fizzes to reveal a miniature 1” alien figure hidden inside.  They come in packs of two with the following character versions: Heatblast/Upgrade, Diamondhead/Wildmutt, Fourarms/Ghostfreak, Stinkfly/Greymatter, and XLR8/Ripjaws.

This playset is an exact replica of Max’s RV on "Ben 10", lovingly nicknamed the “Rust Bucket.” But this isn’t an everyday RV, as it transforms into a cool Alien Laboratory where kids can conduct their own experiments! The included supplies allow kids to create their own alien figures using clay molds. Water can be added to the beaker and dropped in one or two of the (included) Transforming Alien Rocks to see which character will appear after the DNA has oozed off. And the exclusive animation disks can be viewed with the special microscope (three additional disks are included in-pack; other disks come with the 4” collectible figure line and the Omnitrix Alien Viewer).

This is true to scale just like Ben’s alien watch on "Ben 10" that crash landed on Earth in a meteorite. The Omnitrix F/X allows kids to wear it on their wrists and reenact all the action that they see on the series. It features red and green flashing lights and transformation sound effects taken directly from the show. Images of each of the 10 aliens that Ben can initially transform into are also featured on the face of the watch. But be careful, it just may transform kids into those funny alien creatures!

This can be worn by kids who can imagine themselves transforming into one of the aliens they see on the show. With three animation disks to be inserted into the watch’s face, kids can watch Ben transform before their eyes. More disks are available.

Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 includes three new games (for a total of five games), and 20 more characters (for a total of 52). Using the interactive, electronic egg-shaped Tamagotchi Connection, fans can go online and visit TamaTown.com. Here, they can shop in the TamaTown mall, eat in the international food court, watch a movie at the theater, visit with their virtual pet’s parents and grandparents, meet the King and even travel the world, just as long as they have their official Tamagotchi passport. And through the exchange of passwords, special items and treats can then be collected in the Tamagotchi egg as well. New colors and design styles include Tropical Green Flowers, Jungle Camouflage, Ice Cream, Oceanic Wave, Metallic Silver and Translucent Yellow.
— According to Cliff Jin, a public relations rep for Bandai America, Tamagotchi,is “…the world ’s first and most popular virtual pet.”

The second episode that aired two weeks later drew an audience of 2.5 million.

Players lose when they flip to the last page in the spell book. It sells for $9.99 a starter deck, $3.99 a booster pack and $3.99 a spell book.
