Series 4 Cynder Scrapped from Skylanders: Trap Team roster

Skylander fans recently discovered a Series 4 Cynder protoype figure found in a 2017 Toy Fair Interview video. 

For those who are unware, Series Skylanders are characters that are given new toy reposes and given a new ability called "Wow Pow". The Skylanders released for the first time are "Series 1 Skylanders". If they are given another toy figure for another Skylanders game installment, they are called "Series 2"; if given a third repose, they are called "Series 3" and so on. 

Spyro and Cynder were only given Series 1, 2, 3 figures since they were chosen for the rosters of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Giants and Swap Force. Apparently Series 4 Cynder was chosen to be part of the character roster for Skylanders: Trap Team, so far in development that a figure was made, but in the end, was scrapped.

Crash Bandicoot: On the Run! - Battle of the Dragons Q&A



I reached out to King, the developers of Crash Bandicooot: On The Run!, to ask them fan questions about their previous limited time Spyro event, Battle of the Dragons. The Game Designer & Creative Lead of Crash Bandicoot: On the Run, Stephen Jarret, was nice enough to answer my questions and I have listed them below. 😀

Dark Spyro being one of Spyro's "notorious enemies"

 In the Crash Bandicoot: On the Run Spyro event, Dark Spyro is mentioned as one of Spyro's enemies.

"During Season 2, Dr. N. Tropy was banished and left open a portal to the Dragon Realms, letting in the dastardly Dark Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc – who have since taken over three Spyro-themed lands. The much loved hero soon followed, but the portal to the Dragon Realm was broken in the process. It’s now up to Crash Bandicoot and Coco to defeat Dark Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc and help Spyro repair the Dragon Portal."


But he hadn't appeared in the old classic Spyro games nor has to make an appearance in a new Spyro game. Hmmm.... Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

EDIT:

His character profile for COTR states he's the Dark Spyro from The Legend of Spyro universe.
