• January 28, 2009 - Kiz®Safe Revolutionizes Online Safety
• January 19, 2009 - Kiz® to introduce KizPal product line at NY Toy Fair
• January 19, 2009 - Kiz® to introduce KizMoto product line at NY Toy Fair

• FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

  ALPHARETTA, GA – On February 15, 2009, at the New York Toy Fair, Kiz will unveil KizMoto, the first of two initial product lines that access KizToys’ virtual Global Playground™.
  
  KizMoto is a line of originally designed toy vehicles that are each packaged with a unique USB key. When this key is plugged in to a computer with an Internet connection it accesses the KizToys’ Interface where a digital representation of the vehicle is created. Kids assume the identity of their avatar and get behind the wheel of their KizMoto to cruise around the virtual world landscape or head to the tracks to race against the best drivers KizPlanet has to offer. Each KizMoto is fully customizable, and kids earn KizCash to “purchase” appearance and performance upgrades to personalize their experience.
  
  All KizMoto products are fully interactive with the KizPlanet Global Playground, a virtual world ecosystem where all KizToys products come together to connect children from around the globe in an exciting, safe 3D environment. Each KizMoto expands the world and the user’s experience as they become an active participant in the continuously developing KizPlanet online story.
  
  KizMoto product line:
  ·    Shadow – Super sleak black car that corresponds with Simon Welk, the villainous genius who will stop at nothing to control KizPlanet.
  ·    Muck Truck – All-terrain vehicle that corresponds with the Muck Men, personal army of Simon Welk.
  ·    Chaser – Blue and white sports car that corresponds to KizPanet’s sometimes unlikely hero, Max.
  ·    Cricket – Green truck that corresponds with KizPlanet’s green crusaider, Jessie.
  ·    Riptide – Blue motorbike that corresponds with the resident beachcomber, Wesley.
  
  KizMoto vehicles have an MSRP of $24.99 (USD) and are intended for ages five and up.
