Is the toys-to-life genre dying, or is it simply waiting for the next step; an evolution? Skylanders developer Toys For Bob thinks there’s still plenty of room to grow, and the key to that growth lies dormant in the imaginations of kids everywhere. “Since the launch of Skylanders , kids around the world have sent Toys For Bob …hand-drawn Skylanders with one special request – please bring my Skylander to life.” This October, Toys For Bob and Activision want to make that wish a reality with the launch of Skylanders Imaginators.
In this brand new entry in the flagship toys-to-life series, players will be able to create their own Skylanders, customizing appearance, powers, name, catchphrase, musical theme, and more. New in this game are Senseis: heroes who represent 10 different classes, who will train your Skylander and provide exclusive skills and weapons. Imaginators will be compatible with all 300+ Skylanders toys, and will be launching in North America on October 16 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, PS4, and Wii U.
