Frito-Lay and Activision are giving fans the unique opportunity to choose a new Skylanders character which will appear in the upcoming video game, Skylanders Trap Team, slated for release in North America on October 5,2014. This is the third partnership between Activision and Frito-Lay that gives fans an exciting way to engage with the popular Skylanders franchise exclusively through specially marked Frito-Lay variety packs of snacks. Now through June 13, 2014, fans 13 years and older can visit www.fritolay.com/skylanders to vote for their favorite of the three finalist names, and the winning character will come to life in Skylanders Trap Team.
The three Skylanders Trap Team hero finalist names and their fan-submitted inspirations (in alphabetical order by hero name) are:
- “Bat Spin,” submitted by Kimberly Josey from Charlotte, N.C., is a witch tasked with saving the underworld from trolls to prove worthy of joining the Skylanders heroes.
- “Flip Wreck,” submitted by Noel Foster from Clearwater, Fla., is imagined as half-dolphin and half-shipwreck, unlike any Skylanders the world has ever seen.
- “High Five,” submitted by Phylicia Nakamoto from Elk Grove, Calif., is the fifth son of the Royal High Flying Dragonflies. Famous for his great speed, this hero can fly higher and faster than any other dragonfly in Skylanders.
