UK outfit Mind Candy has partnered with licensed electronics specialist Ingo Devices to create a Moshi Monsters-branded tablet.
The 7-inch device runs a forked version of Android 4.0, modified to include Moshi Monsters icons, wallpapers and pre-installed media.
The tablet will reportedly ship with codes that can be redeemed for in-game items in Moshi Monsters.
Please, think of the children
Although the device is clearly aimed at kids, it also boasts the usual web-browsing capabilities you'd expect from an Android device, with Ingo explaining that the built-in wi-fi will allow users to "surf the internet at high speeds and download all the applications that [they] want."
It's currently unclear, though, whether the device will offer unfettered access to Google Play, or a separate, more child-friendly app store; we'd expect the later.
"We worked really hard with the licensors to bring to bring as much content to make these really special," Ingo Devices' UK sales director Matthew Tomlinson told ToyNews Online.
Ingo Devices expects to begin shipping the branded slates in September 2012.
