Here! Better than a giant pic.

WAHOO! Looks like Double Trouble replaced him.


Same pose, staff, and Prototype Magic base show this.

Also, I bet this was the "rumored" violent version of the game.

HUZZAAH! I wished would could at least get a better angle at him. And I haven't said HUZZAAH in ages!-quote almost directly from EoL

Bob Goldthwait (notably Pop Fizz) and Kevin Sorbo confirmed as voice actors in the upcoming game: http://www.ztgd.com/previews/s...iants-hands-on/

I wish Double Trouble hadn't replaced him. He is weak, and his abloogabloo and blughablughablugha giberish drives me insane!!! Also a tiki man seriously, of all the things you colud have picked it was a tiki man. I mean where is he from? Hawie?!!!??!

@ Issac343018s- I played it yesterday at the expos hey only had pretty much only wave one figures, tree Rex was the only giant and they had light core jet vac and prism break. The staff selected the levels for you (cut throat carnival and the one where you break chains to free a giant arkeyan? Not sure what the level was as they were pumping us through and it was chosen before I got to the tv) they also had 2 player battles going on.
When they were giving out the spyros, there were a lot of people, so your turn only lasted about 2 minutes, but later on it emptied out and you could play for longer (i didn't want to spoil too much for myself in the story so I stuck mostly to the pvp) all figures were low level, un- upgraded and did not have their wow- pows at that stage.
P.s. Tree Rex is awesome, much more fun that I thought he would be! Jet- vac is pretty good, not upgraded chill and fright rider were pretty weak and dull... Would have loved that narwhal...

Lucky for you Aussies getting Legendary Bouncer and you might as well finish off the set with Legendary Ignitor, Legendary Slam Bam and Legendary Jet-Vac if our TRU doesn't get him

Don't forget Leg Stealth Elf will be a snigle Legendary available later, like Leg Trigger Happy was for SSA.

isaac343018s: Obviously the comedy of my reply escaped you...

will the US get

yes

(i'll restate my last post)

sry 4 the confusion

(spyrodadragon hurt himself in the confusion)

there have been several reports of giants displays being setup in the us, no figures of course, but they have tags that say "L-Bouncer" and the price and such. it is coming to the us.

And Aussies and UK shall get Emerald Flashwing and White Whirlwind and Granite Crusher as exclusives too while USA should get them as random variants

Yeah... NO.

And if you keep saying Australia will be getting everything, then I must bonk you in the head with a V8.

Do they have Granite Crusher and Skylanders Giants figures already out? Cause I think I'm seeing Skylanders Giants on the packs

No, not yet, but they are getting the displays ready (the Granite Crusher one is new) so it will probably feature Granite Crusher on October 21st.

the white fright rider looks like it's GITD to me. considering the flash from the camera, it would make sense.

If you look closely at GITD Fright Rider's base it is orange

Quote: Zylek

Proto Tech Giant? Notice the base is not orange but yellow, you can tell it's not green because S1 Stealth Elf is next to it and the colors are different:

Looks like an Arkeyan robot to me. I think the base is as S:SA "translucent green" as their rapid prototype printer can get.

From the HDroom website, the difficulty levels are revealed:

Chompy Cuddler (Easy), Cyclops Crusher (Medium) and Heavy Hitter (Hard).

^ "Chompy Cuddler" X3! I like the names that they chose for the difficulties.

Quote: Aura24

I'll be doing the Cyclops Crusher. And they said that Nightmare Mode is truly hard. "Every piece of food will count."

^ I wonder if you have to complete the game first before you can play Nightmare Mode? I'm probably going to start off with Heavy Hitter because I want the game to be somewhat challenging for me this time around (Spyro's Adventure was too easy so I hope that these difficulties live up to their names).

It has been confirmed that you must complete the game before you do Nightmare. If you didn', I would start with Nightmare.

^ Okay, thanks for the info =). I might begin with Nightmare if it lets me begin with that difficulty first.

Also from the Fun Facts at HDroom.com, Toys for Bob employees have contests to see who can get furthest in Nightmare difficulty with only one or two Skylanders at their disposal.

^ Wow, that sounds like it could be quite challenging (I probably wouldn't be able to beat the first level )

More Fun Facts -

• The first animation test for Giants was a 300x scaled up version of a Spyro's Adventure character in that game. Everything broke, which provided inspiration for what a Giant could do.
  
• In the arena battles, crowds chant the name of the Skylander fighting.
  
• There are new musical transitions from room-to-room.
  
• A jukebox on Flynn's new (old) ship lets Skylanders characters dance and sing a line set to different types of music.
  

^ Cool =) - I like the Jukebox on Flynn's ship and the musical transitions from room-to-room changes (sometimes the music seemed to repeat too often during Spyro's Adventure gameplay due to it not changing throughout the levels.

I love the ssa test fact, like how it broke up and it gave them the ideas for what giants could do. it sounds fun and hilarious.

More from the Fun Facts -

• Skylanders figure prototypes are made in a large variety of different and slightly tweaked poses/paint jobs to test and see which one is most durable, looks best, and works the best in the package.
  
• Audio is designed for Wii. When it's the best it can be on Wii, it is then ported to the other versions.
  
• I asked two different Toys for Bob employees who their favorite character was. Both said Thumpback.
  

The last six -

• Reveal Spoiler

  The game takes place in the past, when Giants battled the Arkeyans, and the present.
  
  
• All of the Skylanders have their own voices. For example, Thumpback sounds like an "angry Scottish sailor."
  
• George Takei voices Drill-X, who himself is a giant drill boss character that raps to dub-step. Drillex... Skrillex... get it?
  
• Skylanders Giants was hinted at in one of the Spyro's Adventure story scrolls so clearly Toys for Bob was thinking ahead (The Elder Elementals story scroll in Falling Forest).
  
• Toys for Bob spent one month building the Skylanders Giants prototype to share with Activision. It features Tree Rex and he looks almost identical to the final figure.
  
• The size of the game is comparable to Spyro's Adventure, though there are fewer chapters (16 total).

that is a prototype of bouncer.

Granite chrushy's concept art! Yay!

omg, I shudder in his coolness :0
seriously, he looks awesome.

Anyone notice what appears to be the Crash Bandicoot Time Relic outline on round thing?

interesting maybe crash will be a skylander in the third game

Remember this?:


If you look closely you can see Lightning Rod's, Cynder's, Bash's, Drobot's, Eruptor's, Hex's, Prism Break's and Spyro's Wow Pows images, and also Thumpback's, Pop Fizz's, Bouncer's, Flashwing's, Chill's, Ninjini's, Shroomboom's and Sprocket's upgrades images

Yep, most people noticed, I think.
Looking at Sprocket's she has her standard wrench, which almost certainly means hitting off Landmines with it is not path-specific. Rejoice, Sprocket fans!

I think the first level is giants only

Also, the name is 'Time of the Giants', that indicates that you are only able to use a giant (Tree Rex, obviously) and any normal sized skylander

Also, looks like Chill has an upgrade that lets her use the Z button attack (the Narwhal one) and isn't a combo like someone was saying

Toys R Us's website has skylanders figures available for preorder including

Healing Elixir officially has it, so don't get hopes up.

Hey!

Just got Back from Toys "R" Us Brislington (Uk) and they had loads of figures behind the shelves in the collection point! Got to see Fright Rider up close . I couldn't buy them though

I have no pics as the man would not let me take any, but I can say that the uk has the same sort of hooks as the old ones

With all this news of stores getting figures early it makes me anxious to check mine.
