Skylanders is a popular video game franchise that combines action-adventure gameplay with collectible figurines. Players use physical toys, called Skylanders, which represent different characters, to interact with the game. Each character has unique abilities and attributes, allowing players to customize their gameplay experience. The franchise began in 2011 with the release of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. It introduced the concept of toys-to-life, where players place their figurines on a special portal to bring them into the game. Over the years, several sequels and spin-offs have been released, expanding the universe and introducing new characters and gameplay mechanics.
