Get ready for action!

Hasbro, the iconic toy and game company behind G.I. Joe, Peppa Pig, Play-Doh, and Transformers, is rolling into summer with the surprise debut of its newest toy brand: Hydro Pods.

Hydro Pods is a collectible battle play toy line with a splashy twist combining elements of action figure play and battle gaming.

To play, kids submerge their Hydro Pod in water, plug in the target, and watch a character float up from the bottom of the Pod. Then it’s time for battle as kids launch flying discs at their opponent to knock out the target and drain the water from their Hydro Pod.

At launch, the line features original, pirate-inspired characters alongside a variety of heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe.

Beginning today, families can find the Hydro Pods Shark Aqua Armor Jagger Jaws, Crab Aqua Armor Claudious Crab, Thanos Aqua Armor, Hulkbuster Aqua Armor, and the Dunk & Sunk Arena at Amazon.

The full line expands to major retailers, including Target and Walmart on July 15, followed by the release of Marvel Starter Packs and the Marvel Clash & Splash Duel later this summer.
