For starters Mattel also announced yesterday that the Funkeys would be getting a game creation tool. The Funkeys Game Factory tool lets users unlock gaming functions and create their own content though only with physical purchases. After purchasing two Game Factory figures users can create their own online game and add it to UBFunkeys. com and share it with their friends. ?To put it simply we will be moving our users into the driver?s seat to let them decide how to interact with our brands to consume the content they want and even to be a participant in content creation? Scothon continued. ?Through it all we also recognize that the digital space requires us to iterate and optimize forever ? we will never be done nor satisfied. So when the Mattel Digital Network launches we will almost immediately start changing the experience and then learn every day how to keep improving it.
