Three New Skylanders Enter the Retail Ring

Battling their way out of the post-holiday shortage, Activision and Toys for Bob have unleashed a trio of new Skylanders at retail, including one that should be familiar to hardcore Spyro fans, should such a thing exist.

It's nice to see some new faces on retail shelves, isn't it? Three new toys are hitting store shelves as you read this, including the Magic Skylander Double Trouble, the Undead Cynder, and Slam Bam, a four-armed yeti that comes packed inside the Empire of Ice Adventure Pack, which also includes an entirely new level for the Skylanders games.

Fans of Spyro, the name Activision chose to throw onto the back of the branding for name recognition, will remember Cynder as the black dragon that served as Spyro's love interest in the Legend of Spyro series of games. She still has dark powers, but she uses them for dark lovins now. Rawr.

Flip through the gallery for bios, videos, and shots of the new characters in action, and then rush to the store to discover they've been sold out.
