"We believe the mash up will introduce kids and tweens to HURU HUMI(TM) in a way that sparks creativity and encourages self-discovery, expression and sharing," states Mike Nakamura, CEO of Senario. "At Senario, we always strive to use technology to create beneficial and social play patterns rather than allowing it to isolate youth."

Not only can HURU HUMIs(TM) talk to their "Gurus" (owners) and to each other, they have the ability to chat with multiple HURU HUMIs(TM) at the same time. Designed for kids and tweens aged 10 and up, HURU HUMIs(TM) promote personal discovery, friendship and conversation by making it fun for Gurus to bring them together to socialize. Also, the interactive characters are able to sense other HURU HUMIs(TM) nearby and can start conversations with each other even if their Gurus aren't friends yet! With multiple characters launching this summer and more debuting shortly, HURU HUMIs(TM) have unique personalities and diverse interests including sports, animal rights activism, fashion, gossip and performing; but above all, they love to make new friends.

HURU HUMIs(TM), priced at $29.99 will be available for purchase online at websites such as eToys.com, Target.com and ToysRUs.com on August 1st and available at various retail outlets such as Walmart, Toys R' Us, Target and Kmart by the end of August.
