Toys-to-life is a gimmick where the player uses special physical figurines that have a ~~circuit~~ chip inside and place them on top of a USB-wired figurine-reading base wirelessly to perform certain actions in specific games, like summoning a playable character. Toys-to-life games are bundled in starter packs containing the base game, three figurines, and the figurine-reading base, while additional figurines are purchased separately. This feature is required in a lot of toys-to-life games. Emulating toys-to-life can be very challenging since that there are so many figurines to collect.
