"As well as the 32 Skylanders from the original game, Skylanders Giants introduces 16 brand new characters to play as. There will be eight giant Skylanders, at more than twice the size. There will also be eight brand new normal sized Skylanders to add to your collection.
There will also be new versions of older characters bringing the total number of new toys over 20."

Dark? Care to supply us with your infinite wisdom?

I haven't seen anything posted on it, but I assume the giants will not be backwards compatible? i.e. the new characters will not work on the original game?

8 new standard characters and giants, but there are 6 elements...
There are 4 standard characters of each element...

Eh, probably nothing.


It sounds exciting, and with how the release schedule looks, it seems like they want to keep the ball rolling nonstop.
Reposes sound neat too, but why no articulation or online? D:

Magic, Water, Tech, Life, Undead, Air, Earth, Fire. Last time I checked, that was 8

Looks like this game won't be 4 players. What a shame.

I don't see them making it 4 if you don't have to buy a new portal. :/

Thanks that helps are there any other known new skylanders besides tree-rex and alchemist?

This has come to my attention:
Real or fake?

Unless these are screenshots from videos about the game, who knows right?

Those are real.

Wow! I saw now the trailer and the images and it looks good. I laughed at the part with Trigger Happy's face after he saw the Giant

By the way, why are they going to release a new Cynder's figure?

I thought Flameslinger's was even better, though! He pulls up the bandana covering his eyes to reveal ... ANOTHER bandana covering his eyes!

Classic!

He is a entity of bandana's

@Spyrogirl:
Yeah, those are all real. We've known about them for some time, and in the least, joystiq wouldn't lie about them, especially since the figs are coming out soon. Loks like it was taken in a special showcase room for them.

argh! is dragon peak going to be exclusive? does that mean i cant find it easly?

30 days exclusive to TRU, no big deal.

yeah but after then, does it never come out again? also, i dont have a thru in norway.

so when is dragons peak coming out or is it out now?

It will be like Whirlwind and Drill Sergeant, after the exclusivity, they will be widely released.

Timed exclusive

The article makes it sound like that, Legendary Trigger Happy, and clear Bash should be out sometime in March.

Good! I didn't know this! Now, I don't have to run all over the friggin town for it.

Reveal Spoiler

Unless these are screenshots from videos about the game, who knows right?

ik those are real except idk wut that blue bash is thats the first time ive seen it

It's a special edition Blue Bash.

are the stats any different from regular bash ?

Hopefully Giants will allow those with consoles to have online play.

It would bring never ending re-playability to the game if you could make 2x2 PVP arena teams and go on XBOX live and challenge opponents there.

It will also be nice if you could have some DLC content introduced once in a while.

We don't know. Everyone seems to be thinking it's like the Gold/Silver figs (Which would mean Iridescent Blue Bash will be at level 5 with 2100 coins) but all the reports about it seem to indicate it'll just be another variation figure like the Legendaries. (Although, sans the alternate coloration in game)

But does it? I'm under the impression that the figures only unlock existing game content. It would be beyond cool if the figures could actually ADD new game content, but I don't think the technology is there yet. I mean even if you could stuff the figure with new zones, it would probably take forever to download it from the figure into the game.

we have the adventure packs... if its a statue or a figurine dosent matter only appearance, same chip inside...... and i said figurine but of course it will be a statue or something next time the new dlc come to, no doubt about that.

that is true but the way the statues work is unlike downloading say map packs for call of duty: the ability to use the empire of ice darklight crypt etc. is already programmed into the game

I heard that huge Toy Fair is today, think they'll mention anything about Skylanders?

^probably it is very popular with many people

Its possible after all they did use cynder

No, he's NOT Sgt. Byrd. It's not confirmed, just speculation by his similar appearance. His real name hasn't even been confirmed yet.

OK gosh!!! I didn't know! You don't have to be like that.

Sgt. Byrd was a penguin anyway, That skylander has claws and too many feathers

You never know. They could revamp Sgt. Byrd and he'll look different in the Skylanders universe.

yeah probably im just gunna call him Sgt. Byrd until ik what he is

Just rename him Sgt Byrd once you get him. Then everyone will get their wish.

So, I'm starting to get confused. Is Wave 4 coming this month or around Easter or what?

Thanks.
