This holiday season, when you are looking for games to get your family, think Activision. Activision has a wide array of games for the people in your life. For the young ones to teens they have the Skylanders franchise with the sixth installment of the series, Skylanders Imaginators. This time around portal masters can create and play with their very own Skylanders characters. They can even get those characters 3D printed into playable figures for the game. I’ve received a bunch of toys and games from Activision over the years, specifically the Skylanders line. This year was the best one so far. I was sent every figure, creation crystal and even a starter pack to get going on the Wii U. I’ve been making some unboxing and gameplay videos of all of my Skylanders from Imaginators. I’ve even gone out and found all the exclusive ones I could find at various stores like Target, Toys R Us and Gamestop.

Activision sent me one of the holiday themed Skylanders, Jingle Bell Chompy Mage. This Skylander is out in stores now. Jingle Bell Chompy Mage is a specially designed toy that appears in the game outfitted in a holiday-inspired wardrobe. He joins the lineup of Sensei Skylanders new to Skylanders Imaginators and is ready to teach the Skylanders some new fighting techniques and a classic Chompy holiday tradition – the White Chompy gift exchange!
