Let me introduce you to Winterfest Lob-Star, the “unofficial” Skylander of New England. 😉
Santa Monica, CA – It’s officially the holiday season in the world of Skylands! To celebrate, Activision is spreading cheer by debuting a special holiday Skylanders Trap Team character, Winterfest Lob-Star, on December 7th to Portal Masters in North America. New England friends, I think Lob-Star might have to be named our “unofficial” Skylander. 😉
Additionally, Skylanders players in North America can get their hands on the fourth Eon’s Elite character, Whirlwind, another fan-favorite character that made her debut in Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure. Winterfest Lob-Star and Eon’s Elite Whirlwind are examples of a variety of Skylanders-themed holiday offerings perfect for Skylanders fans looking for the best stocking stuffers this gift giving season.
