Playhut To Roll Out Tie-In Toys For GoLive2

-Toward the end of 2007, toy company Playhut debuted its GoLive2 line, which encompasses its two kid-focused, gender-themed online worlds: Zynia, home to the doll-like Mystikat Kutties, and Onimech, home to the Wowbots. Now, Playhut has announced it will add toy tie-ins to the mix, debuting four Wowbots and four Kuttie toys that come with accessory packs at the Hong Kong Toy Fair.

The toys each come with passcodes to enhance the online experiments by adding new areas within the toy's corresponding virtual world. Playhut says they'll begin to hit retail in Spring 2008.
