It's supposed to be.

But for those in the UK, it could be next year. I'm really hoping someone from Europe finds them today/soon :x

oh yeah, eu gets them on the 18th right?

All the Skylanders, including Camo, Cynder, and Sunburn, are available to view on the official website!

Maybe they will be in stores soon!^

Also, Toys for Bob talks about their work of Skylanders and the involvement of Spyro:

http://gamasutra.com/view/news...ders_Flight.php

"Although since launch Skylanders has become a brand name in its own right, achieving some distance from its original tie-in, the initial vision came from Toys for Bob's mandate to reinvent one of the licenses that had been Vivendi's: They chose Spyro the Dragon.

Attempts to revive broad-audience mascot franchises haven't seen predictable success in the game industry. Just creating a new Spyro game after the traditional fashion was unlikely to work, says Reiche. And reinventing the character as a "really gritty, strange otherworldly Spyro" didn't seem like a promising idea.

Spyro needed a radical new idea. Reiche says he had considered integrating technology with toys and games for a while, and it was the kind of concept that was so outlandish that it was the most promising idea the team sketched out for the brand."

CAMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunburn likes so friggin sexy and arrogant, I love it.

Hmmm . . . Dare I say: It looks like Toys For Bob has takin' a likin' to Spyro . . . Perhaps this will lead to them being passionate and dedicated to make him a well beloved / renowned character again.

Found two of the recently revealed Skylanders on the Skylanders youtube. I'll try and find the others:

Sunburn looks cool, but if he's in that adventure pack like people say he is, then I doubt I'd ever get him.

He IS in the Dragon's Peak Adventure Pack.

^Is that out yet?

Not sure if new or not:
http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=166338

They forgot to paint it!

No, Dragon's Peak not out yet.

Here's Cynder and Lightning Rod's:

Cynder's Shadow dash, looks really useful for getting out of unfavorable conditions. But it also looks like she doesn't talk in this game or she doesn't have a battle cry. . . oh well

DAMMIT!

I need to get Skylanders...and Sunburn...and Cynder...

SpyroCynder, calm down..

Cynder from now on shall be looked upon as a insane dragoness who went mad and killed her fanboys in pure rage and malice for being annoying.

The End.

I noticed she looks a bit different to her in-game trailer apperance when I found her soul gem.

cynder sounds like a spore creature, but she looks fun to play as, altough her electricity breath doenst seem to do much.. and sunburn is just sexy l3 and camo is supah adorable, but his voice doesnt fit him. and lightningrod seems to be talking.

I reckon that Cynder will be pretty powerful when she's fully leveled up...or is that just me?
I'm also glad that they've updated all of the characters on the Skylanders website, I've been waiting ages for them to do so.

The overall numbers of the attributes of the remaining characters is more than the characters that were released first. This could mean that this last batch will be the greatest characters of the game. Statistically, according to the trading card values, Legendary Spyro is still the best we know of. Legendary Trigger Happy is the only set of values I do not have.


I'm still not sure if the trading card values have a direction to the gameplay abilities or not. Sometimes I think they are trying to promote the start of another trading card game with its own set of values, but as of yet, I have not seen such game or heard about a set of rules of how that game would be played.

Here's Slam Bam, Double Trouble, Warnado, and Wham-Shell:

I think they just censored her battle cry. The noises Cynder made sounded like the ones Spyro made in his trailer.

Sunburn's flame attack looks quite awesome. All Skylanders actually look awesome in-game

We already know abit of Sunburn from fighting his doppleganger in the boss battles

It wouldn't hurt to see more gameplay of normal Sunburn.

Quote: Aura24

He IS in the Dragon's Peak Adventure Pack.

I'm ****ed then.

Ain't that true. Evil Sunburn made me thought he sucked since the fire attack is not 'mobile' if you know what I mean. He just looked underwhelming in the fight, though.

i allways thought that sunburn was a female because of the camera angle in my game when i fought his dark self. also because the quality in my screen sucks.

someone tried taking off the skylander from the platform http://jin-saotome.deviantart....%20spyro&qo=144

If the official statues did that, THEN they would be toys. Until then, they're just statues.

I don't think it should win GOTY, even from someone like the Toy Industry Association that isn't paying attention to actual games.

It's good, but far too easy and short, especially when compared to other games for kids/everyone that were released in the year, that were far more challenging (Portal 2) and lasted much longer (Forza 4).

GOTY is going to the other titles really

It's...the...Toy...Industry...

Just because it technically means that there's better games out there doesn't mean Skylanders will basically be ignored. Of course, I don't expect Skylanders to win ACTUAL awards. Portal 2 and Forza 4 aren't exactly what one would expect for games for little kids, amrite? These are toys, not technically competing against other games.

It may be the easy for all of you, but it may be the right difficulty for kids. They like the figures, and the game itself, and they're willing to collect all of it. They're toys, and it's nice for a Spyro game to be nominated as such.

If Toy Industry doesn't pay attention to the game, they'll pay attention to the toys. Even without the Portal, there's a myriad of ways to play with it.
