the Powerpuff Girls

My daughter is thrilled that some of her favorite super heroes have just arrived on store shelves to join in the LEGO DIMENSIONS™ video game adventure.  Cartoon Network's the Powerpuff Girls are utilizing their special abilities in an effort to help save the LEGO DIMENSIONS multiverse before their bedtime arrives.  The kindergarten aged super girls Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, who were created by Professor Utonium as he attempted to create a "perfect little girl" by combining sugar, spice and everything nice within a science experiment, are bringing the same fun attitude and animation style that has made their television show a hit for Cartoon Network to LEGO DIMENSIONS through two new expansion packs for the video game.

Blossom and Bubbles utilize their sugar-coated Chemical X generated super powers to LEGO DIMENSIONS with the Powerpuff Girls Team Pack.  Blossom's heat vision and Bubble's rainbow beam add some impressive fire power to take on the threats to the LEGO DIMENSIONS multiverse.  In addition to including LEGO minifigure representations of these two Powerpuff Girls the Team Pack also includes buildable 3-in-1 PPG Smartphone and Octi accessories.



When Blossom and Bubbles need some extra help defeating the evil villains threatening Townsville and the LEGO DIMENSIONS multiverse they can count on PPG Smartphone and Octi to come to the rescues.  Octi's lasers are formidable but it can also transform into a Super Skunk or Sonic Squid.  While PPG Smartphone can also turn into the PPG Hotline or Powerpuff Mag-Net to help save the day!

The Powerpuff Girls Fun Pack includes the super hero trio's toughest fighter, Buttercup, along with her 3-in-1 buildable sidekick Mega Blast Bot.  Buttercup can fly and use super strength and an energy shield to tackle evildoers but if she needs some extra help Mega Blast Bot can transform into Ka-Pow Cannon or a Slammin' Guiter to take down the bad guys.

The Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup minifigures included within the Fun and Team Packs each will provide players with access to The Powerpuff Girls Adventure World where iconic locations from the animated TV show including Pokey Oaks elementary, Rainbow Land, and Professor Utonium's lab can be explored.  These characters also unlock the Powerpuff Girls themed Battle Arena where you can engage in head-to-head competitions utilizing Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup or any other LEGO DIMENSIONS character a player owns.

Let's give a hip hip hooray that the Powerpuff Girls have joined in the LEGO DIMENSIONS adventure!  Developed by TT Games and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, LEGO DIMENSIONS is now available for Playstation 4, Playstation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii U system.  For more information about the video game check out the LEGO DIMENSIONS social media channels on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
