Unlike many interactive toys that will only provide positive reactions based on a child's actions, Skyrocket's 'Grumblies' boast fiery personalities and the potential to have a meltdown.
Rolling, shaking, flipping and poking are some of the interactions that will cause the Grumblies to spiral into a frenzied state that needs calming. In all, the toys are capable of producing more than 40 different sounds and reactions, with four different characters to choose from like the blazing red Scorch.
The toys for kids ages five and up have the potential to be entertaining, as well as helpful for teaching young ones about better managing their own emotional states. The all-new toys announced at the 2018 Toy Fair are set to be available as of the fall, just ahead of the Christmas season.
