Help Me Name the New Variant! By Matt Sonnenberg | Categories: News | |

So we have some late-breaking news. Seriously. It's late here.

Anyway, thanks to faithful SCL reader Josh Y., we've just found out about the latest Skylanders SWAP Force variant.

As you can see it's a variant of the Series 2 Heavy Duty Sprocket. You've seen the picture, now what do you think we should name her? Silver Sprocket? It's got a nice ring to it, but it's not completely silver. Army Sprocket? It's a bit more descriptive, but it's not quite as smooth. What do you think?

Not convinced this is a real variant?

Well, you can pre-order the figure here. And you can view the first eBay listing here.

As you can see from the eBay listing, this is a Best Buy Exclusive figure. Unfortunately, this will not be an in-game variant, but I still think it looks pretty good. This Sprocket variant will be available this coming Sunday, January 12, 2014.

UPDATE: I was able to pick up my pre-order on January 10, 2014. I saw the rest of the case in the normal Skylanders display. You may want to check you local Best Buy soon.
