So, it's been officially announced...
I'm not sure what to think, but where it says "twice the size" I'm getting visions of the D&D "giants" range...
That kinda thing...
As long as there are some dragon ones, and they're not too expensive, I may pick some up

A new game already? I'm just glad that the portal will work with it.
Seems like there's a big chance that these eight new bad boys will be the Elder Elementals.

Ooh, that is true... I was just wondering how that would work, but forgot how many elements there were So, ideas for the type of creature we could have for each element? Or just giants as in "giants", rather than "giant creatures"? Like, I would say(for example), fire is a dragon, water is a serpent/kraken/other water beast, undead is either a ghost style thing/stylized skeletal creature etc |

I actually OWN one of those D&D Colossus Red Dragon (as well as the Gargantuan Black dragon), it's huge enough to be my room's doorstop and is bigger then my HEAD (That's not just a distance illusion you see in that picture. The black dragon is more "Reasonable" in size, but still big enough to be a book-end.). If it's suppose to be able to use the old portals, then "Twice the size" can't really be that big. Maybe big enough to make it so two toys can't fit on the 3DS portal, but I can't imagine them getting any bigger then that. (Though I would admit, having some GIANT Skylanders that maybe have extra detail compared to their normal counterparts would be kinda cool...)

Haha, ahhh, I see
I swear, though, if the OFFICIAL Skylanders were all made like the Colossus Red Dragon, I'd have a heart attack. While very nicely detailed, there'd just be no place to store all of 'em That and some of the points are actually quite sharp, not too safe for the little kiddies

Oh wow. Wonder if he's a Giant?
I have to imagine that the figures will be bigger, but also small enough to fit on the portal. The portal is about 5 inches around and double the size of a figure would be around 7 inches. I'd hope that these figures are around the $20 price range. Although it's probably impossible to have them around $10 or so, if they're about the same as the expansion pack/less than that $25 range, they should continue to do well. Thankfully the figures will still be able to be played with, so they could continue to repackage or resell them.

Game this fall - Boooo. That is probably when D3 will come out and I will have no time at all to devote to a console game. I will also be broke from building a new PC in order to play D3. 8 new figures - Horay! The less searching I have to do to find these things, the better. Lets hope that all 8 are released at the same time in enough quantity that no one has to resort to nonretail means to acquire them. Higher price - I understand that bigger means more cost to manufacture, however it damn well better not be more than $12 or they will not get the sales that they are hoping for. 8 x 12 = 96 + 50 (game itself) = $146 for the new game. I love my kids, but that is just redonkulous. Old figures and portal work - Ya damn straigh it will work. Can you imagine the backlash if these things didnt work with the new game? Quote: kappapopm
Online battle and co-op (online I presume) - If anything has taught us, Activision has listened to the masses about the current game and its figures. I have faith that Activision will include some sort of online compatability features for this game. It would be just as large of a negative to not have online ability in this game as charging more than $12 for the new figures. We all knew there was going to be a sequel. We knew there would be new figures. Now we can hope for online play as well as the ability to jump. =================================== BTY, Dark, we cant see the pic as it requires a login to see. Care to host the pic and then repost it? Edit : Thanks for fixing it Dark. thetoyspy blog is posting obviously fake pictures of the larger spyro and double trouble. I read somewhere on a blog or whatever that the person photoshopped those pics.

Well now wait a second. Are the 8 new characters going to be Giants, or are they going to be regular ones? There's 2 different articles, one saying the 8 new figures are the giants, and the other saying the 8 new figs are regular ones, and there's some unknown number of Giants.
I dunno, I think it's still a huge possibility. With Universe, they could really just have it so your game auto connects to it, like when you level up in the game, it updates your character online. And maybe also allowing you to have a unified money system. EDIT: Kotaku has some more pics.

"GiantStump" is a Giant figure. But I'm guessing all the giants might be ones that light up. We've got a video boys and girls! http://www.viddler.com/v/f4161d1 Also a bit of gameplay too! -Flameslinger takes his blindfold off to reveal another blindfold -Giants will be able to do a LOT more damage with some throwback -They can pick up things and throw them -Possibly underground levels? EDIT: Curiously, joystiq has a picture of....a new Cynder figure?

Not a fan of tree dude, nor the blue one... Is the blue one a giant, or regular size? I'm guessing there'd be at least 16 new figures, 2 for each element, one giant and one regular... |
Reimu Yellow Sparx Gems: 1076 |
#2277 Posted: 16:26:37 07/02/2012
They already said 20 new figures
8 giants 8 regular and we guess 4 light to reach 20 |
spyroflame0487 Emerald Sparx Gems: 3866 |
#2278 Posted: 16:27:32 07/02/2012
Well if there's 8, that means we at least know there's a new one for each element. I'd say it's probably more than likely "Giant Happy" is a Giant. But I guess we'll have to see.
EDIT: Scratch that, maybe not. He's not as big as those hulk drow, so he has to be a regular sized character. Alright, I'd say we'll see 8 new characters (one for each element) and then 4 Giants (GiantStump is probably Life. Maybe Magic, Fire and Water?)

"Finally, Toys R Us CEO Jerry Storch revealed an exclusive partnership with Activision going forward. The retailer will sell exclusive figures this year, including "Legendary Trigger Happy" and "Iridescent Blue Bash," both of which are stronger than their normal versions and feature new abilities. In March, Toys R Us will also have a 30-day exclusive on the "Dragon's Peak" adventure pack. See pictures of the new figures in the gallery below."
As the silver and gold ones were just the same figure with money and stuff, that's what I assumed, otherwise someone would've found a new Bash in the coding... Unless it's a Giant exclusive upgrade |

8 Giant figures witht the light technology 8 new regular figures 4+ old figures with new model like that picture of Cynder.

20 new figures? Looks like my son better start saving up now! Haha.
I was a bit skeptical on the size of the figures, but after seeing the pictures of "Giant Smash" next to Spyro on the portal I feel a little better. The detail is great on these figures as well! Love the idea of parts of them lighting up. I'm worried about the price of the Giant figures...but if i had to guess the 4 or 8 Giants will probably be $19.99 a pop - very similar to the adventure packs and three packs. Also, I hope they keep stocking the stores with the original characters as well - since most of us still haven't completed our collection (hopefully by the fall they will be easier to obtain). Very surprised they are coming out with a new game so soon though. I think the biggest question is, how many chapters will be in this new game? Will it be another 20+ chapters or is this going to be more of an "expansion pack" and have like 8? And I agree with Monsinour, they NEED to include some sort of online play in this game. Just about every game has this feature now, especially games similar to Skylanders, so Giants would severely hurt themselves if they didn't have an online mode.

Actually, that link is the only one that has said "over" 20 new characters. Everything else I have read has said it was 20. It makes sense to stay at 20 really. 8 giants, 8 new (one of each element), and 4 "light up" figures. I seriously do not want to be looking for more than 20 figures. Good lord, I have 7 left to get for this freaking game.
