At the 2019 New York Toy Fair, Skyrocket introduced the newest additions to its line of Pomsies—wearable virtual pom-pom pets—with Pomsies Lumies. These next-gen pom-pom toys feature color-matching abilities, meaning that as the toys are placed onto colored objects, they magically "absorb" the colors and emit a shine to match the hue.
These pet toys are nurtured through color-matching play, coordinating one's outfits with the Pomsies Lumies and participating in interactive games like Memory, Whack-A-Mole. These pom-pom toys also offer a Music Mode, which transforms colors from one's environment into beats and melodies.
Skyrocket developed its Pomsies Lumies for kids ages three and up with three color choices and long, rainbow-hued manes that can be brushed.
