VTech® announced exciting new additions to its popular, interactive Switch & Go® line, offering new characters that transform between creatures and vehicles for the ultimate play experience. The new line-up includes the Switch & Go 3-in-1 Rescue Rex, Triceratops Fire Truck and 2-in-1 Spino Speedster.
“Transforming Switch & Go toys from vehicle to creature and back again makes playtime even more exciting for kids, letting them race a cool car one moment and command a roaring dino the next,” said Danielle Norwood, Vice President, Marketing, VTech Electronics North America. “Our new fall introductions feature even more opportunities for big adventures, with a rescue fleet that comes together to form a giant 3-in-1 Rescue Rex, letting kids use their imaginations to save the day.”
VTech puts kids’ imaginations in the driver’s seat with its new Switch & Go toys. The 3-in-1 Rescue Rex transforms playtime adventures with three rescue vehicles that easily combine into one big T-Rex, while featuring cool action sounds, phrases and animations. With the Triceratops Fire Truck, kids can switch from a speedy fire truck to a powerful Triceratops that can help stomp out a fire. The 2-in-1 Spino Speedster transforms from a Spinosaurus and Pterodactyl that roar and soar into an awesome mega car. These Switch & Go toys feature LCD screens that display either a driver’s friendly face or fierce creature eyes, with awesome sound effects correlating to the mode the toy is in and an action button for even more imaginative play.
