   Easter is going to be here before you know it, and you will not want to celebrate without these two limited edition spring Skylanders!

                                                   Spring Ahead Dive Bomber
                                                              Price: $14.99

      With a brand new fleet of powerful vehicles at their disposal, the Skylanders are ready to battle evil wherever it hides.  In an attempt to sneak into the aquatic nest of a menacing Hydra, the Skylanders have disguised the Dive Bomber as a decorative egg.  Hopefully Hydras like to protect their eggs… and not eat them!

                                                             Eggcited Thrillipede
                                                                Price: $12.99

      Thrillipede is all suited up and ready to defend his title as the reigning Dragon Egg Toss Champion.  After last year’s controversy, when Kaos wrongly accused him of coating several Dragon Eggs with sticky tape, Thrillipede is eager to show everyone that his egg tossing supremacy was no fluke.  And to prove his point, he’s agreed to enter the competition with one hand tied behind his back!

    "Love Potion Pop Fizz? When his latest attempt to concoct the ultimate raspberry soda totally backfired, Pop Fizz was caught in a blast that turned him pink and gave him an alluring aroma.  At least that's how he tells it.  But with Valentine's Day right around the corner, the Skylanders are all wondering if Pop Fizz is telling the truth – or if there is a special someone that he's trying to impress! This character is available for a limited time at major retailers for $14.99.

    The one thing I truly love about the Skylanders franchise is that they have no problem making fun of themselves.  They consistently come out with videos that make you crack out and this time is no different...

     "Speaking of love songs, with awards season in full swing,  your favorite Skylanders Trap Team characters put together a “For Your Consideration” video submission in hopes of taking home a “golden gramophone!” From “Yodeling Album of the Year” to “Best Werewolf in a Rock/Metal Performance,” check out Skylanders’ musical stylings in the videos below!
