Crash Bandicoot is a game that I never played. But I knew the character and he’s so in my brain that I will call the kids Crash Bandicoot when they stumble or smash into anything in the house. It has been my go to nickname forever and that is because Crash Bandicoot is in my collective unconscious. Well, now he’ll be in my Skylanders collection because he is coming to Skylanders Imaginators! While he is being released as part of a special PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 starter packs at launch ($99.99) I am sure that “at launch” means that his figure will be sold individually later in the release of the game. I know this because the Crash toy will be playable across all platforms in Skylanders Imaginators – the game where Portal Masters can unleash their imaginations to create an infinite number of unique Skylanders characters.

I’m also so excited that one of my favorite voice actors, Jess Harnell (lead singer of Rock Sugar and voice to countless characters) will be reprising his role as Crash. So Crash will maintain his his unique and quirky personality. Fans can look forward to his signature spin attack, as well as callbacks to his beloved past, including moves that incorporate exploding crates with 3-2-1 countdowns, wumpa fruit, jetpack attack from high in the air and more. As a Sensei, Crash’s Sky-Chi attack is the ability to use a yo-yo to yank his enemies into a spin attack! Crash will be a guest star in Skylanders Imaginators, where he will be fully playable as a Sensei character and brand-new toy. More about Crash’s Return below.
