The toys are made of durable plastic and depict 8 different characters from the movie. Each toy figure comes with its own unique gimmick which is activated with the card that comes with it, much like the tablet in the movie. For instance by placing the card in the slot for the Easter Island toy the sound chip gets activated. Plugging the card into the Larry toy gets him racing around. Pull it out and he stops.
