OK. How cool is this?

My sons are HUGE Skylanders fans, so I know they will be SO EXCITED to see this announcement!!

Frito-Lay and Activision are asking fans to help determine the winner of the first-ever fan-submitted Skylanders character in the upcoming October Trap Team game!!

Frito-Lay and Activision announced the three finalists today, and through June 13, everyone can vote for their favorite by visiting www.fritolay.com/skylanders.
Fans 13 years and older can 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.

In addition to naming the new character, the lucky winner will also receive a $100,000 scholarship.

To celebrate the upcoming Skylanders game, Frito-Lay is also offering additional savings found on select Skylanders products through specially marked Frito-Lay 20-pack variety bags in stores around the country.

Skylanders Trap Team is an upcoming action-adventure video game developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision Publishing, and is scheduled for release on October 5, 2014 in North America and in Europe on October 10, 2014.
