Morphonauts is a new line of action toys that aims to promote creativity in kids through customizable parts. The legs, torso, head and arms of the action figure toys are magnetic, which means that it's possible to mix and match between different heroes in order to create the ultimate fighting toy. With its system for magnetic assembly, this means that Morphonauts is able to allow customization before and after a toy is purchased. Now funding through Kickstarter, the project even includes a reward for high-level backers, which will provide them with a Morphonaut 3D-printed in their likeness.
Although these toys could stand on their own, there is also a board game in development that will take gameplay further with a mobile device.
