Kids who are a little older or more creative can download a blank template from the HEXBUG website to make their own characters, backgrounds, and dynamic props. The ring also doubles as a carrying case so kids can pack the characters up for battle on the go. Parents may want to stick around to turn the motors off when kids inevitable amble off while their characters are still boxing in the ring.

Then, they can turn on the bug motor and insert it into the Box Sumo character, pop the plastic bottom on, and just sit back and see who prevails as the winner. Assembly is simple: First kids unflatten the Box Sumo character’s body. Powered by a bug equipped with HEXBUG vibration technology, the wacky characters box it out. They can collect more than 60 different characters from six different categories - Fantasy, Holiday, Pets, Family, Wild Card, and Combat - to put into the ring (sold separately). The HEXBUG Nano Box Sumo line is simple enough for kids ages 3 and up to assemble and enjoy. The new toys promote social interaction as kids assemble the different bots and characters and get ready to battle it out - in the ring, in the vortex, or even across the living room floor.

HEXBUG is taking fall by storm with extensions to three lines: Box Sumo, Micro Titans, and BattleBots BattleBox.
