I’m sure that if you are a Skylanders fan you have been seeing certain character reveals from the event. I asked my contact if there was going to be a press release soon about the new characters from E3 and they let me in to the press room to poke around. I can let you know about some more new characters and you’ll be happy to know that they won’t all be male characters. We already learned about Gearshift but I also found out about Torch, a new core Fire Element character. She is not a Trapmaster but she looks like a great toy. She looks like a blacksmith of some sort with the big leather apron and a bellows that shoots flames plus a hammer on her belt.
Yesterday I was on a family adventure and I saw my Instagram feed blowing up with the photo above. That is Gearshift a new character for the Skylanders Franchise. She is the first female Trapmaster announced for the Skylanders Trap Team game that is to be released October 5, 2014. Gearshift is the first individual character that fans can pre-order of the game. I rushed off to Amazon.com today and pre-ordered Skylanders Trap Team Gearshift Character (Affiliate Link) for myself.
