Skylanders is still popular enough to start a TV show? Huh. I assumed it was losing popularity.

It's still popular, at E3 they announced a new game called Skylanders Imaginators, and this one lets you create your own Skylanders character, Crash Bandicoot is a playable character on the PS4 version.

With a cast like that, I'll have to watch an episode or two even though it's sure not to be my cup of tea. Banks & Norm are some of my faves.

I have no idea what the games are about, but I'll check it out because of Spyro.

Its those Toys To Life games, you buy the game which comes with a starter pack of figures you use in game, but in order to use other characters, you have to buy the other figures separately.

Netflix just released the trailer for it, looks like a fun show.
