Crash Team Rumble - Potential Comic on Spyro?

According to an interview with Kotaku, Toys For Bob is planning more comics like Catbat's backstory down the line to introduce characters for Crash Team Rumble. Makes me wonder if Spyro the Dragon will get his own comic if he is brought into the game.

Kotaku wrote:

The Catbat comic is part of a larger story initiative regarding Crash Team Rumble. Unlike Crash 4, the new game isn’t a single-player title that’s story heavy and can therefore expand upon the characters and their relationships. It’s a multiplayer game, and similar to games like Overwatch, much of Crash Team Rumble’s story will come from external media. Yan says the studio plans for these characters’ stories and relationships to “unfold over time,” rather than take place within the game itself.

“I think one thing that we’re most excited about with the comic, and future comics that will come out with heroes, is that this is a space that sits outside of the game,” Yan says. “If you are the type of fan who wants to know more about a character’s lore or their relationships or their identity or their personality, this is a place for those fans to kind of dig in deeper and ask those questions, and we can have that kind of exploration. Crash Team Rumble is not an adventure, it is a multiplayer game.”

Stewart Copeland's Official Spyro Album

After an unfortunate release last year, the soundtrack of the original Spyro the Dragon trilogy composed by Stewart Copeland has been released to the public once again. It is currently on Youtube Music, Spotify, and Apple Music/iTunes. Soundtrack also includes never-before-heard music tracks.

Last year, there were issues with the soundtrack's release after AWAL, the former music distributor for the Spyro OST, started copyright claiming content creators and gameplay videos that contained the soundtrack while playing the Spyro game trilogy. In response to this, the OST had to be pulled while things had be sorted out. The Spyro OST's new music distributor is now The Orchard Enterprises.

First 4 Figures TLOS Statue Interest

First 4 Figures is attempting to revive interest in the DOTD Spyro and Cynder resin statues! In 2019, in the First 4 Figures Collector's Club facebook group, fans reached 800+ yes votes in a poll for First 4 Figures to request Activision if they can do resin statues of Spyro and Cynder based on their designs from Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Although there were model teasers for the statues, F4F went radio silent on any further progress.

To sign up to green light continued development of the DOTD Spyro and Cynder resin statues, go here:

Cynder the Dragon. One of the most popular characters in the Spyro franchise who originated from The Legend of Spyro reboot (2006-2008) and later appeared in the Skylanders franchise (2011-2018). Since the announcement of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, a lot of Spyro fans became interested in the idea of Cynder being implemented in the Reignited Spyro universe.
