It's good news today as the AR game SwapBots has officially been fully funded on Kickstarter.

If you've got excellent memories, SwapBots may ring a bell as we saw these quirky things at last year's Big Indie Pitch in Cologne. Created by hard-working parents eager to encourage play without it costing a fortune, these toys really are pretty neat.

Aimed at kids, though limitless when it comes to age, the pieces of the Bots are interchangeable, and that includes the power associated with each piece. Not only does the Bot come to life when you scan it, you can also customise it with in-game accessories before delving into the multiple levels and mini-games available.

With two weeks to go, SwapBots reached its Kickstarter goal of £25,000. The toys gained interest from the media, including the BBC, and larger retailers in the UK and US.

Prices start from £16/$20 for a three pack whilst the app is totally free - that means no in-app purchases, no adverts, zip. These also come in a six pack (£32/$37) and nine pack (£46/$52) as well.

Check out the campaign now for more information.
