When the Phineas and Ferb Toy Box Pack becomes available nationwide starting tomorrow, April 1, it will complete the collection of add-on figures for Disney Interactive’s highly successful Disney Infinity video game.
The new Toy Box Pack features the characters of Phineas and Agent P from Disney Channel’s animated series “Phineas and Ferb.” (Ferb is MIA from Disney Infinity, likely because he doesn’t say a whole lot on the show.) Agent P’s signature move is sending his fedora flying while Phineas features a baseball blaster and tuck n’ roll moves.
The pack, a suggested retail price of $29.99, also comes with two hexagonal power discs that transform Toy Box mode into the “Tri-State Area Terrain” and “Danville Sky” from the world of “Phineas and Ferb.” Though this add-on doesn’t include a full play set, each of the two characters has their own mini adventures and Agent P’s is arguably the best one released yet.
While Phineas’ individual adventure is set inside a giant pinball machine – rather forgettable. But Agent P’s is inspired by video games of the past, offering high-speed overhead driving, a side-scrolling platformer, an obstacle-dodging third-person mini-game, and a bit of hang gliding in order to finally demolish Dr. Doofenshmirtz’ Infinity-inator. It’s a blast to play and worth purchasing Agent P just to enjoy.
The third wave of Power Discs are also hitting stores tomorrow in blind packs of two for a suggested retail price of $4.99. They are:
Circular Discs
Chernabog’s Strength – A representation of pure evil from Fantasia, you can summon the demonic power of this villain to do 3% more damage
Rapunzel’s Healing – The magic of Rapunzel’s hair does more than make blonde locks continue to grow. Her golden hair has healing properties that can give a character 40% more health
Violet’s Force Field – The quiet daughter of The Incredibles can not only turn invisible, she can generate a force field that can reduce damage by 3%
Mickey’s Sorcerer Hat – The infamous and iconic hat from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice allows characters to gain experience at a 2% faster rate
Hexagonal Discs
Cruella DeVille’s car – Jump in to the villain’s car from 101 Dalmations to chase after friends and foes
Disney Parks Parking Tram – This vehicle can bring back fond memories of a trip to the Disney Parks. It provides the great comedic value of driving around a parking lot tram, especially when challenging fancy racecars
Calico Helicopter – The cunning and merciless villain from Bolt is always surrounded by cats and its master strategist. Take control of Dr. Calico’s helicopter which is fully equipped with rockets to rain fire from above
Phillippe – The loyal horse from Beauty and the Beast is the trusty companion and only mode of transportation for Belle and her father Maurice. The horse is loyal, but has been known to get spooked easily
Tantor – Tantor often seems to be timid and even cowardly. However, the gentle elephant has a deep bond with his friends and is often inspired to acts of bravery
Dragon Firework Cannon – The cannon from Mulan originated in ancient China and precedes modern guns as one of the first projectile-launching weapons
Wall-E’s Fire Extinguisher – A rare toy inspired by a classic scene from WALL-E, it allows characters to use the propulsion from a fire extinguisher to hover in the air
Wall-E’s Collection – Transform the Toy Box in to the desolate wasteland that the Earth has become due to consumerism and neglect
Buy ‘N’ Large Atmosphere – The Sky Theme becomes a swirling dustbowl filled with empty buildings that are mere husks of their former glory. The most notable thing in the barren horizon are the numerous Buy ‘N’ Large signs
Toy Story Mania Blaster – The toy originates from the Toy Story Midway Mania ride in Disney Parks. Unlike the Goo Guns from the Toy Story Play Set, this is a weapon designed to damage opponents
Angus the Horse – The beautiful black Clydesdale from Brave is fiercely loyal to Merida. Although he can be stubborn at times, his strong bond to his owner allows him to be coaxed into almost anything
Tri-State Area Terrain – A simple and subtle texture, along with a few gadgets, that is reminiscent of summertime when Phineas and Ferb create their incredible inventions
Danville Sky – Turn the Sky Theme into the backdrop of Phineas and Ferb’s Tri-State Area. One of their greatest projects, a giant roller coaster, can be seen off in the distance. In addition, you can spot the iconic building of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated, the lair of Agent P’s nemesis
The future of Disney Infinity isn’t yet announced, but a sequel is likely, potentially featuring Marvel and/or Star Wars characters. And with the release of the Phineas & Ferb Toy Box Pack, fans can already get a glimpse of Star Wars fun. Those who unlock every character in the game and visit the Hall of Heroes can access a very special weapon: a lightsaber.
Now that all the figures for Disney Infinity have been released, Disney Interactive will continue to feature regular Toy Box contests and areas for download, keeping the game alive, fresh, and entertaining for quite some time – until they’re ready to release the next one.
