Every year there is a toy that stands out from the rest for being truly revolutionary.
This year, the gold medal winner has to be SKYLANDERS SPYRO’S ADVENTURE.
For the first time ever, this toy bridges the gap between video games and collectible toys.
Take one of your toy action figures (starter set includes 3) and place it on the “Portal of Power” and the game immediately sends your character into the game. Play the game like you always do and as soon as you take them off the portal, your progress is stored ONTO THE TOY!
Take your figure to your friend’s house and you can play on his game with all the strengths and skills you’ve already accumulated for your character. And it doesn’t even matter if he has an XBOX and you have a Wii, there are all compatible. Your character will forever be your character!
Enabling your toy to forever remember your video game experiences wherever you take it, is something gamers like me have always wanted.
Any now, with Spyro’s Adventure, it’s finally become a reality 
Here’s some info on the Starter Pack:
Bring your Skylanders to life!
Frozen in our world. Alive in Theirs.
For Generations, the Skylanders have used their magical powers and weapons to protect Skylands. But now, an evil tyrant has frozen them and banished them to Earth. Only you can put them on the Portal of Power and bring them to life to save Skylands forever!
