Partying With Frito-Lay and Skylanders “Choose and Name a New Hero” Contest @FritoLay @SkylandersGame

Disclosure:  Sponsored by Frito-Lay, all opinions are my own.

So my kids love two things (well they love more than two but you get the point):  Skylanders and snacks.  They have their friends come over and they all pile into the basement to play Skylanders.  Frito-Lay snacks are our family favorite and I was excited to learn that they have partnered with Activision which is another family favorite!

When I found out I was going to be hosting a Frito-Lay and Skylanders party to say I was excited would be an understatement.  I received tons of Frito-Lay and Skylanders goodies and we decided we would invite some neighbors over with their kids for a BBQ, snacks, and Skylanders.

My boys faces when they saw the Skylanders goodies we got was priceless, they couldn’t open everything fast enough! My 6 year old was probably most excited about the “Skylanders chips”, which were the Frito-Lay snack bag with the Skylanders logo on it.  It really is the little things that make kids happy!  My boys have literally been asking everyday when our party would be!

Well if you haven’t heard yet, Skylanders is coming out with their newest game this fall called Skylanders Trap Team™.  Frito-Lay and Activision want to give fans the unique opportunity to choose and name a new Skylanders character which will appear in the upcoming video game, Skylanders Trap Team™!  It has been narrowed down to three Skylanders character names out of nearly 20,000 submissions to be voted on to become the first-ever-fan-selected-Skylanders Hero.  The finalist receiving the most eligible fan votes will be awarded a $100,000 scholarship.

The three choices in alphabetical order are:

“Bat Spin” submitted by Kimberly Josey from Charlotte, N.C., is a witch tasked with saving the underworld from trolls to prove worthy of joining the Skylanders heroes.

“Flip Wreck” submitted by Noel Foster from Clearwater, Fla., is imagined as half-dolphin and half-shipwreck, unlike any Skylanders the world has ever seen.

“High Five” submitted by Phylicia Nakamoto from Elk Grove, Calif., is the fifth son of the Royal High Flying Dragonflies. Famous for his great speed, this hero can fly higher and faster than any other dragonfly in Skylanders.

Fans ages 13 years old and older can vote for their favorite of the three finalist names now through June 13, 2014.  To vote, visit: www.fritolay.com/skylanders
