On Wednesday the 23rd of April Activision will be revealing the next Skylanders game at a special press event. In a separate event for the regular fans on the same day they will also be giving away 500 free Doom Stone figures at the Times Square Toys R Us store in New York, Doom Stone being the last remaining unique character still to be released for Skylanders Swap Force.

Activision Publishing, Inc. and Toys"R"Us are giving fans the rare opportunity to receive a complimentary Skylanders toy at a special Toys"R"Us Times Square event celebrating Skylanders Day! Before the final Skylanders SWAP Force character, Doom Stone, is released to the public, the first 500 Portal Masters to line up at The World's Greatest Toy Store on Wednesday, April 23, will be among the first to get their hands on this must-have figure.

Fans attending the event will get the chance to meet Skylanders costumed characters, experience the bestselling kids' videogame franchise at in-store gaming kiosks and receive other fun Skylanders giveaways.

Last year had a similar event with Ninjini at the time of the reveal of Swap Force and saw the regular release of Ninjini around a month later, which hopefully bodes well for those of us who can't make it to New York.

A listing for one of the two remaining alt-deco figures from Swap Force, Kickoff Countdown, has been spotted on a couple of European Amazon websites along with a few different release dates including the 14th of May.

And the US as a whole gets normally Skylanders first. No reason to hate on New York if your going to get him in a few weeks while other places have to wait at least a month so we should hate on you if you go by that logic.

This will be released in Late December probably! Doom Stone looks cool!

UPDATE:I think the NEW SKYLANDERS GAME will be released in December not Doom Stone! Some people misunderstood it!

That's not the only reason why I despise New York. I have my many other reasons why, but I don't want to bore anyone with the details.

Skylanders carries on I see. Hard to consider it a Spyro game anymore though. Yeah it's fun to play from time to time, but I'm loosing interest in the series due to the, what hundreds of new characters. So far they've only kept three characters from the previous games, Spyro and Cynder. Hunter would be a great addition, seeing as he was in LOS series, and the fact his classic version would have been perfect for this type of game. I agree that some of the characters are cool(Chop Chop, Igniter, Prism Break, and Drobot), but I'm honestly not really impressed with the Skylander series. I'll play it, but it just cost too much to actually enjoy.

I'm ready for a new villain, one that causes Kaos to join Eon and I agree with the previous post. They should bring back some old characters like crash bandicoot.

Guys, the Spyro series is dead. Deal with it. If they brought back any old characters, it would be stupid. They have enough fans who don't even know about the original Spyro games to be rich. They don't mind losing the people who like the old Spyro games.

Forgive me for mentioning, but why does Doom Stone make me think of a rocky version of Gnasty Gnorc?

Honestly, I had no idea who Spyro was when my wife and I bought the our first Skylanders Swap Force for my 5yo son for Christmas. I was too old when the original Spyro came out on the Playstation and had no idea who Crash Bandicoot was until recently. Since then I have learned more about it. I love the game and have since bought Spyro's Adventure and Giants. I love the games because my son and I can play together and have a good time doing so. I have also amassed quite the collection of characters since Christmas to the point I'm only missing about 10 or 11 of the core characters for the entire series of games. I have my favorites and my son has his. We have tried different combos of characters to see which ones work the best together.
