Alongside the Trap Masters and Skylanders Minis, a third new kind of hero is coming to Skylanders Trap Team: Eon’s Elite. These Skylanders have special metallic paint-jobs and are much stronger than normal Skylanders, but they’ll come at a price!

At £25.99 each, they’re almost three times the price of a normal Skylander which costs £8.99. They are three times more powerful than the non-elite characters, but is that worth the extra cost?

Elite Spyro and Elite Chop Chop are the first characters to be released this October, and they will come in collector’s cases and have the special shiny colours too. They can only be used in Trap Team though, so remember to get the Trap Team game too if you want to use them.

The Skylanders Eon’s Elite release date is October 10th for Spyro and Chop Chop, and other characters will release next year. The Skylanders Trap Team release date is October 10th.  To check out everything that’s new in Trap Team, visit the Skylanders channel.
