where does hot head light up I thought it was his head and one arm and mine only lights up on it head so was I wrong or is mine broken

I'm sorry to say it's just his head. It woulda made sense for both arms to light up if you ask me. Pretty lousy design.

It's not just the design of his light up bits that is lousy, Hot Head is the most pathetic looking and uninspired Giant. Every other Giant has their own look except for Hot Head. An enlarged and more humanoid version of Eruptor? yeah so cool. *insert eye roll*

Not to mention there are officially three fire characters that seem to be made of molten lava. Not even the Earth characters made of damn rock & crystal shards are that similar! Yeesh, TFB need to stay away from that volcano.

Eruptor, Hot Head and who?

Just wondering, But what designs do you have in mind instead of Hot Head?

(Wasn't directed at me, but I'm putting in my two cents anyway, LOL!)

Look at Flameslinger... The only "fire" about him are his arrows, otherwise he's just a blindfolded elf. And Ignitor looks like a knight. Okay, he's made of fire inside that suit, but at least he doesn't walk around looking like anthropomorphized lava!

So how about a devil-themed character? He could throw fireballs, maybe charge for a large fireball. MUCH more effective than the random lobbing of Eruptor, I just hate his inaccuracy, made the purple chompy Heroic Challenge in SSA a real pain!

my idea would be a dragon character who is pure flame. That would be cool and unique while staying away from the overdone lava aspect. I still think Hot Head is fine the way he is however. He has oil canisters for shoulders and turns into a motorbike, that's UNIQUE!

Meh, I'm not one to really design-my-own character for these types of things but I was looking up famous mythological creatures related to fire and, considering the rest of the 'landers, a fire serpent would be the most original and unique of them (there was a fire Genie, a phoenix, a dragon and a firebird - which is not a phoenix but a bird that shines bright and whatnot). Then there's always the ability of having a being made of fire, not like Ignitor with armor and whatnot but an actual kind of entity made entirely of flame. Not too original but not a major retread. But then I thought, why not have a Tiger be the base for a Fire Giant (ala Thumpback). Oil is cool and all, but that seems closer to the Tech robots to me.

Looking at quirky designs like Eye-Brawl (they could have easily gone the Frankenstein route or a Giant Bat or wolf but didn't) or interestingly awesome choices like Swarm (let's be real, did we really expect an insect for an Air skylander let alone a giant), it just leaves Hot Head feeling weak design wise.

You mean, like Sunburn?

no not like sunburn..sunburn is not a dragon, he's a Phoenix and has feathers.

Only half right, he's a Phoenix/Dragon hybrid. Like how Whirlwind is a Unicorn/Dragon hybrid, or does she not to you either (yet, the game acknowledges both are dragons).

lol, yeah, because not calling them dragons would result in mega-fan anti-activision rage...

are there any tutorials on how to add lights to giants or how the light up thing works?

T7gga put one in Toys and Merch. He added lights to Drobot and Hot Head.

Ummm, no (and lame attempt at shade). It's just the game series considers them as dragons so to revoke their dragon card because they are hybrids is stupid.

That's like saying Wrecking Ball isn't a magic skylander because his primary attacks aren't very ~magical~.
