Lightseekers isn't another toys-to-life game. It's got gorgeous articulated figures that talk, vibrate and evolve, powered by a mini-computer.

It's hard to believe that in just a few years DC's '40s pinup takes on its female characters, the Bombshells, have evolved from a small line of statuettes to a full on merchandising empire -- they even got an excellent comic book!
