Activision launches Skylanders-branded Monopoly board game

Activision announced today that it is launching a Skylanders Monopoly board game in partnership with USAopoly.

Under license from Hasbro, USAopoly will take the Skylanders video game franchine into stores as a board game based on Monopoly. It raises the question as to whether this is smart merchandising by Activision or a sign that the popular kids franchise is getting overexposed.
