Now, this video/real-world/augmented reality mashup looks ready for action.

Each one accepts a tiny, plug-in computer, called the Fusion Core, that adds Bluetooth, intelligence, vibration motors and speakers.

If, for instance, you change the physical weapon on the figure, it changes on screen as well. Even the weapons have some intelligence, remembering progress that can then be shared with other characters that use the weapon.

Characters can be virtually swiped from the card into the video game.

Play Fusion also showed us how buttons on the back of the action figures can be used to play an on-screen game of whack-a-mole.
When the sets go on sale in April, Lightseekerswill list for $69.99 for the starter kit (one figure, one Fusion Core, a weapon and six trading cards) and accessories will start at $14.99.
