While we eagerly await Skylanders Trap Team's release in October, Activision is still offering up more figures for us. The last Swap Force character Doom Force is now available, and Kickoff Countdown will be available soon.
Skylanders Trap Team Announced: Allows You To Trap And Play As Villains
Doom Force is the final swappable figure in Swap Force and is only available at Toys"R"Us stores in limited quantities. He is an earth elemental character and looks pretty awesome, as you can see from his figure. His bio-
"Doom Stone was carved from the strongest and purest stone in Skylands, then magically brought to life by a wizard who was rather lazy and wanted someone strong to carry heavy things and perform other tasks around his castle. Doom Stone happily helped, and in his spare time learned the ancient ways of Stone Fighting should he ever need to protect the wizard, who became like a father to him. Sure enough the need arose when the wizard was kidnapped by his evil twin brother in order to steal his spells for himself. Doom Stone wasted no time in using the skills he learned to save his master. Afterward, the wizard knew Doom Stone had a greater calling and introduced him to Master Eon, who made him a Skylander."
Final Skylanders Lightcore Figure Bumble Blast Released
Kickoff Countdown is a limited edition variant figure based off the original Countdown, a tech element character first released for the Skylanders: Swap Force. This alternate version is all about soccer - or football if you live anywhere else in the world besides the U.S. Kickoff Countdown is easy to point out, as he's the only Skylander with the head of a soccer ball- it appears both on the figure and in-game.
Here's Kickoff Countdown's official character bio-
"Originally, Kickoff Countdown was discovered by a group of Yetis who were snowboarding one particularly chilly morning when they came across a big bomb encased in ice. After bringing it back to their cabin, they were shocked when it actually came to life. No one, not even Countdown himself, has any memory of where he came from or how he ended up frozen in the mountains. Since becoming a Skylander, Master Eon has been graciously trying to help piece together fragments of his past. But this has proven difficult, as Countdown loses some of his memory every time he explodes - which happens a lot! "
Kickoff Countdown will be exclusive to Toys"R"Us stores nationwide and online at Toysrus.com on Sunday, May 18, although it will be available at retailers worldwide the following week. Both Doom Stone and Kickoff Countdown will retail for $16.99 each.
