New Skylanders Toys Arrive in Time for the Holidays (with Corrected Release Date)

This holiday season will see new Skylanders figures from Activision Publishing Inc, as well as play sets and construction sets from PowerA and Mega Brands, respectively.

The FunPlay HideAway play sets, from PowerA, enable fans to both store and play with their favorite Skylanders. The line is going to expand to include Dr. Krankcase’s Lair.

Meanwhile, the Skylanders-themed construction sets from Mega Brands will soon include the Cut Throat Carnival set.

In addition, both Winterfest Lob-star, as well as the fourth Eon’s Elite character, Whirlwind, will arrive on store shelves December 7. Whirlwind made her debut in Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure.

(Editor’s note: The Toy Book previously listed the release date for Winterfest Lob-star and Whirlwind as December 12.)
