Hexbug's Box Sumo puts a new spin on wrestling toys with vibration technology that pushes an opponent's character outside of the ring. The box-shaped collectible toys come in many different personas, including Savage Saint Nick, Reaping Reggie and Mighty Mildred, each of which is ready to fight with its fists out.
The vibration-powered Box Sumo characters can be placed within the Hexbug Box Sumo Battle Ring, which also neatly folds up and holds the collapsible characters when they are not in use.
Kids who are inspired to create their own crazy characters can even do so by getting the tools from the Hexbug site for printing their very own Box Sumo and powering them up using a "nano bug," batteries and a detachable base component.
