A playmate toy or similar children's toy is provided having associated wireless, batteryless ID tag that can be read from and/or written to using a radio-frequency communication protocol. The tag is mounted internally within a cavity of the toy and thereby provides wireless communication of stored information without requiring removal and reinsertion of the tag. In this manner, a stuffed animal or other toy can be quickly and easily identified non-invasively, without damaging the toy. Additional information (e.g., unique personality traits, special powers, skill levels, etc.) can also be stored on the ID tag, thus providing further personality enhancement, input/output programming, simulated intelligence and/or interactive gaming possibilities.

1. A stuffed toy having internal memory and wireless capability for storing and wirelessly communicating selected information relevant to a game played by a game participant using said stuffed toy, said stuffed toy comprising: a toy body comprising a fabric material forming a soft outer skin of said stuffed toy, and a stuffing material filling an interior space contained within said soft outer skin of said stuffed toy;a passive radiofrequency identification (“RFID”) tag disposed within said interior space and supported by a support structure comprising a stiff plastic sheet substrate, said RFID tag and support structure arranged in a manner so as not to expose sharp surfaces that could poke or puncture said soft outer skin;said RFID tag comprising: i) a processor, ii) a unique identifier configured to uniquely identify said stuffed toy, iii) non-volatile programmable memory configured to store game-relevant information, iv) a transceiver configured to provide two-way wireless communications with a compatible RFID reader device, and v) a spiral-wound antenna electrically coupled to said transceiver and configured to be energized by inductive coupling with said compatible RFID reader device; andwherein said game-relevant information comprises at least: i) a first selection of information comprising one or more in-game powers or skills associated with said stuffed toy, ii) a second selection of information comprising in-game points or levels reached, and iii) a third selection of information comprising a personalized name of said stuffed toy. 2. The stuffed toy of claim 1, wherein said RFID tag is molded or embedded in said plastic sheet substrate. 3. The stuffed toy of claim 1, wherein said RFID tag is affixed or adhered to said toy body. 4. The stuffed toy of claim 1, further comprising an adhesive label adhered to and covering said RFID tag. 5. The stuffed toy of claim 1, further comprising at least one accessory item configured to be selectively worn by, attached to, or assembled with, said stuffed toy, and wherein said at least one accessory item comprises a second passive RFID tag comprising a second unique identifier. 6. The stuffed toy of claim 1, wherein said first selection of information comprises upgradeable powers or skills that are incrementally upgraded by repeated use of said stuffed toy in said game. 7. The stuffed toy of claim 1, wherein said non-volatile programmable memory is configured to store a fourth selection of information comprising a second unique identifier configured to uniquely identify an owner of said stuffed toy. 8. A playmate toy having internal memory and wireless capability for storing and wirelessly communicating selected information relevant to an interactive game played by a game participant, said playmate toy comprising: a body in the form of a doll, an action figure, or a stuffed character, said body comprising a first material forming an outer skin of said body and a second material filling an interior space contained within said outer skin;a passive radiofrequency identification (“RFID”) tag disposed within said interior space in such a manner that information stored on said RFID tag can be wirelessly ascertained by a compatible RFID reader device via radio waves penetrating said outer skin;said RFID tag comprising: i) a processor, ii) a unique identifier configured to uniquely identify said playmate toy, iii) non-volatile programmable memory configured to store game-relevant information, iv) a transceiver configured to provide two-way wireless communications with said compatible RFID reader device, and v) a spiral-wound antenna electrically coupled to said transceiver and configured to be energized by inductive coupling with said compatible RFID reader device; andwherein said game-relevant information comprises: i) a first selection of information describing one or more upgradeable powers or skills associated with said playmate toy, ii) a second selection of information describing total points accumulated or levels reached by said playmate toy in said interactive game, and iii) a third selection of information comprising a name of said playmate toy. 9. The playmate toy of claim 8, wherein said RFID tag is supported by a support structure comprising a plastic sheet substrate and wherein said RFID tag and support structure are arranged within said interior space so as not to expose sharp surfaces that could poke or puncture said outer skin. 10. The playmate toy of claim 9, wherein said RFID tag is molded or embedded in said plastic sheet substrate. 11. The playmate toy of claim 8, wherein said one or more upgradeable powers or skills are acquired or enhanced as said game participant uses said playmate toy in said interactive game. 12. The playmate toy of claim 8, wherein said non-volatile programmable memory is configured to store a fourth selection of information comprising a second unique identifier configured to uniquely identify an owner of said playmate toy. 13. The playmate toy of claim 8, further comprising a second passive RFID tag comprising a second unique identifier. 14. A trainable gaming toy having internal memory and wireless communication capability for storing and wirelessly communicating selected information relevant to a game played by a game participant using said trainable gaming toy, said trainable gaming toy comprising: a body in the form of a doll, an action figure, or a stuffed toy, said body comprising an outer portion and an inner portion contained within said outer portion, and wherein said inner portion comprises an internal cavity;a passive radiofrequency identification (“RFID”) tag disposed within said internal cavity, said RFID tag configured so that information stored on said RFID tag can be wirelessly ascertained by a compatible RFID reader device via radio waves penetrating said outer portion of said body;said RFID tag comprising: i) a processor, ii) a unique identifier configured to uniquely identify said trainable gaming toy, iii) non-volatile programmable memory, iv) a transceiver configured to provide two-way wireless communications with said compatible RFID reader device, and v) an antenna electrically coupled to said transceiver and configured to be energized by inductive coupling with said compatible RFID reader device; andwherein said non-volatile programmable memory is configured to store game-relevant information comprising: i) a first selection of information describing a skill level of said trainable gaming toy that improves with repeated use of said trainable gaming toy in said game, ii) a second selection of information describing a special power of said trainable gaming toy that is acquired when said trainable gaming toy is used in said game, and iii) a third selection of information comprising a personalized name of said trainable gaming toy. 15. The trainable gaming toy of claim 14, wherein said body comprises a stuffed toy comprising a fabric material forming the outer portion of said body, and a stuffing material substantially filling the internal cavity of the inner portion of said body. 16. The trainable gaming toy of claim 15, wherein said RFID tag is supported by a support structure comprising a stiff plastic sheet substrate and wherein said RFID tag and said support structure are arranged within said internal cavity so as not to expose sharp surfaces that could poke or puncture said outer portion. 17. The trainable gaming toy of claim 14, further comprising a second RFID tag comprising a second unique identifier. 18. The trainable gaming toy of claim 17, wherein said body comprises one or more body parts or appendages comprising one or more hands, feet, head or belly and wherein said second RFID tag is contained within said one or more body parts or appendages. 19. The trainable gaming toy of claim 14, further comprising at least one accessory item configured to be selectively worn by, attached to, or assembled with, said trainable gaming toy, and wherein said at least one accessory item comprises a second passive RFID tag comprising a second unique identifier configured to uniquely identify said at least one accessory item. 20.
