Company: Pepsi Product: Skylanders Sidekick Promotion
Are you a Skylanders fan? Collect them all, yet? Finally get your hands on the elusive Wham-Shell and you're thinking of just kicking back and waiting until the Giants arrive? Don't kick back just yet - Pepsi's got a Skylanders promotion going and - if you act quickly - you could score yourself some limited edition Skylanders figures. PepsiCo's Frito-Lay North America division and Activision Publishing has announced the next phase in a series of promotions uniting their snack brands with Skylanders Spyro's Adventure. Fans aged 13+ now can get a free Skylanders Sidekick figure, exclusively available via mail, with the purchase of specially marked Frito-Lay Multipack Classic Mix or Multipack Flavor Mix variety packs (a $2.00 shipping and handling fee per figure applies).
As part of the promotion, specially marked Frito-Lay Multipacks include a card insert, redeemable for one of four new exclusive Skylanders Sidekick character figures. To claim their Sidekick, fans rank their preference for each figurine using the card insert and redeem it by mail, as limited quantities of each sidekick figure are available.
