TOMY International builds on the success of its first Z-RING and Z-CRYSTALS with new enhancements that provide players with additional in-game synchronization features.

New Z-CRYSTALS will be available with the new Z-POWER RING, which will still be compatible with the previous Z-CRYSTALS and give players more options than ever before. "We know Pokémon fans will be thrilled to see these added features to the new Z-POWER RING and Z-CRYSTALS. The feedback on the first generation of Z-RING was very positive and the idea was to provide a deeper experience than before thanks to more in-game synchronization when using Nintendo 3DS family systems as well as equal fun in Role Play mode. Enhancing your video game experience or simply acting out Pokémon adventures at home, you will truly feel as a Pokémon Trainer," says Morgan Weyl, Director, Boys' Toys for TOMY International.
