Like it or not, the Toys-to-Life category is here to stay. Between the financial titan that is Skylanders and the license to print money that is Disney: Infinity – particularly with the new Marvel license and the inevitable Star Wars tie-ins, these collectible cross-media figures aren’t going anywhere.     Nintendo knows its audience, and
