STAR Features are a fun addition to some of our merchandise. You can find it in the shape of a STAR! It utilizes NFC technology that strengthens Sky Children's connection between the online and offline experience. Each STAR comes with a unique feature based on the item’s design, which can be scanned with your compatible devices to activate fun in-game features.

Similar in function to STAR, STAR Protector is also a chip developed based on NFC technology. Due to their unique qualities, we have added them to certain products to help test the authenticity of the products, in addition to the holographic laser stickers included on each of the packaging. By scanning the STAR Protector in Sky, the game can tell you if the plush toy is official and genuine based on the information from the chip.
