For my son’s 5th birthday, we bought him Skylanders for the Wii U. Little did we know what we were creating – an obsessed Portal Master! In the past year, Hayden’s room has transformed into a Skylanders land – pillows, blankets, posters, over the door Skylanders hangers – you name it, we’ve got it! When Hayden gets a new Skylander, he likes for me to film him as he makes an unboxing video. The kid just loves Skylanders!

When I told him about the new contest where Frito-Lay and Activision teamed up to let fans choose AND name a new 2014 Skylander, he went nuts! He had a fun time checking out the new Skylanders and coming up with a name. This is an awesome contest and I know you’re going to want the details so you can enter!

Name the Next Skylander!

Frito-Lay and Activision are teaming up to give fans the control. For the first time ever in Skylanders history, you can choose and name a character in the next Skylanders game –on shelves in 2014. In addition to naming honors of a Skylanders hero, the winner will receive a $100,000 scholarship.

Visit www.fritolay.com/skylanders now through March 21 to choose one of three heroes and then submit your best character name – make sure to share your inspiration behind the name. In May, three finalists will be selected and fans’ votes will choose the next winner!

Plus, head to the snack aisle and look for specially marked Frito-Lay variety packs will include coupons for select Skylanders products. And this spring, variety packs will include a $5 off coupon for a Skylanders SWAP Force Starter Pack.

The contest ends on Friday, March 21st, so make sure to head over and enter now!

Disclosure: I was provided with a Skylanders Prize Pack but all thoughts and opinions are my own – we love Skylanders!
