Activision to Release Bowser and Donkey Kong Stanadlone Skylander Amiibos

Hammer Slam Bowser and Turbo Charge Donkey Kong, who made a surprise appearance in the latest Skylanders game, will soon see their own independent releases outside of starter packs. Coupled with their respective vehicles, each character will be available for around $25. These are the regular versions of the characters – the dark editions are not expected to see their own release.

The dark editions don't actually play any differently, whether in Skylander or Amiibo mode.

Also, that’s not a redundant typo in the title. These figures are both Skylander figures and Amiibos. Twisting the base will allow players to change the statue’s mode between the two. While their functions in Skylander mode should be obvious, as Amiibo they work with certain compatible games, doing exactly what a regular Amiibo of that character would do ingame.
