What’s higher than a cool Tron motion determine? A cool Tron motion determine together with your face and voice, clearly.
That’s the thought behind the Tron Identification Program, a brand new piece of merch that Disney might be promoting guests to the Lightcycle attraction that’s opening in Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World Florida on April 4th. The concept is that you just get your face scanned, document six strains of dialogue, after which manually customise your character’s look with totally different helmets, our bodies, and workforce colours, and also you’re left with a figurine that feels really “you.”
It’s a not dissimilar thought to Hasbro’s Selfie Series, which 3D prints your head onto an motion determine of your selecting after you scan your face with an app. However whereas Hasbro goes down a 3D printing route with a lead time of a number of weeks, the Tron Identification Program merely exhibits your face on a small LCD display contained in the figurine’s helmet, according to Gizmodo.
The result’s a costlier toy at $89.99 plus tax (versus $60 plus tax for Hasbro), but in addition one that may be circled comparatively shortly. Disney’s press launch says the customization course of takes round 20 minutes, and that the figurine might be prepared to gather inside one other 60. So it’s a little bit of a compromise, however a minimum of you’re left with a fairly cool piece of memorabilia by the top of the day. Its field is even designed to appear like a small Tron arcade cupboard.
It’s been a short time since Tron and its once-groundbreaking digital actuality world often called “The Grid” has appeared on screens. Disney revived the franchise in 2010 with Tron: Legacy, however except for a 2012 TV collection the collection has remained dormant for the higher a part of a decade.
That might all change very shortly, nonetheless. A 3rd Tron film titled Tron: Ares was (as of January a minimum of) scheduled to enter manufacturing in August this yr, Deadline reported at the time. Dr. Michael Morbius himself Jared Leto is ready to star, with Pirates of the Caribbean: Lifeless Males Inform No Tales co-director Joachim Rønning reportedly in talks to direct. Yippee.
