"Skylanders is a \"toys to life\" video game series published by Activision. Games in the series are played by placing character figures called the Skylanders on the \"Portal of Power\", a device that reads the figures' tags through NFC and \"imports\" the character represented by the figure into the game as a playable character. Few of the Skylanders available for play include Spyro the Dragon and Cynder, both of which were previously included in The Legend of Spyro series."@en .
