A television distributor, 41 Entertainment, has began uploading Skylanders Academy episodes on their official Amazin' Adventures Youtube channel. Season 1 is nearly done, and is currently being uploaded weekly. This is good news for those who don't have Netflix.

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 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.

I recently rediscovered Yannick Orboz's old concept art on The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon besides the ones we already know. The original source is on Flickr, behind a mature filter and you have to have an account in order to see the artwork.
Spyro fan BlazeTFD did a visual animated version of the released The Legend of Spyro movie script that was leaked a while ago. This visual movie shows the script itself complete with fan voiceovers. Thought I share it here. :)
More Youtooz Spyro figures announced! Chrome, Superflame, Burnt, Gold Chrome, Purple Chrome, and Glow-in -the-Dark.
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.
Dataminers dug into the game files of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning and discovered several dialogue clips that contains Cynder having more lines for A New Beginning
that went unused in the end. These voice dialogue showed a different
side to Cynder's villainous personality, from taunting Spyro to
responses to Spyro's game overs. In the end, the majority of the
dialogue went unused to give Cynder a more serious personality, but the
voice clips are found in the game files.
One of normal Cynder's dialogue was used for the Nintendo Gameboy Advance and DS version of A New Beginning.
Storyboards of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon have just been uploaded today on Herve Masseron's ArtStation blog. I'll post several of them here, but the rest can be found in the link.
