‘Disney Infinity 2.0’ Releasing A Toy Box Starter Pack Featuring Stitch And Merida

by Josh Jackson

Since it was announced, the folks behind Disney Infinity 2.0 have assured us that while the focus is definitely on bringing their Marvel properties into the game, core Disney characters and owners of the original portals would not be forgotten. Details were scarce until now, when the Toy Box Starter Pack was officially announced.

Packaged with an Infinity Base, Stich, Merida, and Toy Box Game Discs featuring themed missions for both, the package will retail for $59.99, which is $25 cheaper than the Marvel starter set, albiet with no campaign missions and one less figure. Still, with limitless possibilities with the level creator, and the ability to download stages formed by the online community, this bundle still promises to be well worth it.

For those who have no interest in the Marvel pack, (wherever you are), or just want to play around with the new Toy Box without having to buy any new figures outside of the dozens you might own from the first game, then this might be a good buy. Still, I’m a little disappointed that it doesn’t seem like the Disney characters will receive any large scale campaign missions. It seems like these are reserved for their super hero bretheren.

Does the Toy Box Starter Pack sound like something you would pick up this holiday season? The Marvel Super Heroes Starter Pack is scheduled for a September 23rd release, with the Disney pack set to follow on November 4th.

Stitch and Tinkerbell Are Coming To ‘Disney Infinity 2.0’… With A Few Surprises!

by Josh Jackson

Disney Interactive has released a new Disney Infinity 2.0 trailer, showing off their two newest character reveals, (which means two more figures we’ll have to throw money at). After teasing Stitch last week, the adorably destructive alien is joined by Peter Pan‘s Tinkerbell, both of which will be able to work their magic in the Toy Box mode of the game.

While two new Disney based additions to the roster are definitely welcomed, the bigger news might be the new vehicles and environments hinted at in the trailer. A Gravity Falls theme? Darkwing Duck’s Ratcatcher motorcycle complete with side car? It begs the question… What else will 2.0 have in store for us when it releases? Either way, it looks like the game is looking to include properties spanning generations to reach the young and the young at heart.

Considering that many people were concerned over a potential lack of Disney with the obvious focus on Marvel, these additions on top of the previously revealed Maleficent and Merida figures ease those concerns a little bit. Even still, we’re yet to see any Disney themed Play Sets, so we won’t know if we’ll be able to take these new characters into their own campaigns until later. With that said, these figures and items are seemingly great additions, especially when you consider Stitch’s blasters and Stitch’s surfboard, (complete with Stitch on the nose), were in the first game, making his inclusion overdue. What if Stitch rides the surfboard though? Stitchception!?

Which characters, items and themes do you want to see make it in? Does seeing The Ratcatcher in a new game hit that nostalgia bone? And who else wants to see some Rescue Rangers content next? Tell us what you want to play with when Disney Infinity releases this fall!
