Toys"R"Us® Brings New Wave of Activision's Skylanders Spyro's Adventure(TM) Exclusive Action Figures to "Portal Masters" Beginning in March
WAYNE, N.J., Feb. 10, 2012 -- The cast of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure is expanding at Toys"R"Us locations nationwide and online at Toysrus.com with the release of three brand new items introduced exclusively. This spring, gamers visiting The World's Greatest Toy Store® will discover a Legendary version of fan-favorite Trigger Happy, the new Dragon's Peak adventure set and a translucent blue version of the popular dragon Bash. Additionally, enthusiasts will be excited to learn that the highly sought-after Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Legendary 3-pack is making a return to Toys"R"Us stores and Toysrus.com in mid-February.
Skylanders Spyro's Adventure was released by Activision last fall, featuring more than 30 different characters that come to life within a video game world. Players take on the role of a "Portal Master," placing action figures on a device called the "Portal of Power®" to transport them into the Skylands.
"Gamers have been enthralled with bringing their action figures to life with Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, and now, months after its launch, they are still clamoring to find every Skylanders Spyro's Adventure character to add to their collection," said Troy Peterson, Divisional Merchandise Manager, Electronics and Entertainment, Toys"R"Us, U.S. "To ensure that 'Portal Masters' have access to the most unique characters and worlds within the Skylands, Toys"R"Us will continue to introduce exclusive items from this exciting virtual world throughout the year."
Upcoming, new Skylanders Spyro's Adventure action figures and playsets that will be introduced exclusively at Toys"R"Us stores nationwide and online at Toysrus.com include:
And, back by popular demand, the following item will return to Toys"R"Us stores and online at Toysrus.com later this month:
