I personally HATE the Swapping.....I think it makes the characters not feel...right.... Ill buy the Swap-Force Skylanders mainly to have their figures....To me, they are cool w/o the combining....


Btw, any ideas on the 2/2 Magic SF, 1/2 Tech SF, 1/2 Undead SF, 2/2 Earth SF, 2/2 Air SF, 1/2 Fire SF, or 1/2 Life SF characters left?

I agree on that I will only swap for the Gates, It is awesome but seriously Skunk with Swuid Tentacles is Weird O.o

I think for Series 3 it will have-
Life-Stealth Elf and Camo
Earth-Terrafin and Dino-Rang
Water-Chill and Wham Shell
Tech-Drobot and Boomer
Undead-Fright Rider and Ghost Roaster
Air-Sonic Boom and Warnado
Fire-Hot Dog and Sunburn (I hope for now stupid Eruptor >:C I have 2!!! Only Fire I have and he is annoying!)
Magic-Pop Fizz and Voodood

My guess For LC-
1-New Core Character for Water
2-New Core Character for Magic
3-New Core Character for Life
4-New Core Character for Earth
(If they have LC like last time that would mean Skylanders from Above that are returning)
5-Hot Dog(Spikes on his head would glow)
6-Boomer(Dynamite would glow)
7-Fright Rider(Frights Eyes would glow and rope thingy...)
8-Sonic Boom(She could be roaring and the roar could glow...Odd)

If NOT then-
5-Ignitor(His Fire Soul)
6-Drill Sergeant(Eyes and Grill thing)
7-Fright Rider(Same as above)
8-Lightning Rod(Idk why they didn't make him LC for Giants cause his Lightning Bolts would glow...)

These are just my Guesses/Hopes Lol sorry if I got your hopes up! I am sure maybe 1 out of all of these are right lol it is Stealth Elf xD xD xD

You know my biggest worry for now is whether or not the non reposed 8 will return and something I noticed with the demo. When they demonstrated the new characters and Eruptor, they didn't say catchphrases and don't talk. I hope they will talk in the final version because I like it when the Skylanders talk they have personality and the catchphrases really depict them.

I am pretty Sure they will, I like Eye Brawl's the best the "I've got my Eye on you!" How does an Action with it, I hope they add actions like that to each skylander, and with the Swap-Force fella's I think they would say the top half's Catchphrase or what would be cool is if they combined them to make one catchphrase like say you put Freeze Bomb on the portal and he would say part of Stink bomb's and Freeze Blade's Catchphrases but that is way to complicated! Over 256 Catchphrases for some would be Ridiculous! Lol...

I hope this time the lightcores are their own characters. Or atleast a couple are, rather than just lightcore versions of old/new 'landers.

You do know that you don't have to wait till E3 for news do you?
New York Toy Fair is coming tomorrow!

Quote: Aura24

Found this on the SkylandersGame Facebook:

If the Wash Buckler toy had that kind of texture and detailing, I'd be a lot more pumped up about the character

I dont beliave that dino rang , ghost roaster, sunburn, camo, wham shell or warnado will be repose cush they sayed that was fan favourite skylanders so if they didn´t have the privilege on giants why should they have it on this game ?

Because people complained about them not being reposed, proving that there were lots of people wanting the unreposed to make a comeback?

*facepalmx100000000000*

Toy Fair already passed. That's where we got all this info.

*facedesk*

That was on the Ninjini event in Times Square, NYTF is tomorrow

Quote: henryszuch

You sure? I'm pretty sure the Times Square thing was just a Ninjini give away. Plus how did everyone get the "goody bags"?

Because in the event, they revealed the game and also, if you look at the Toy Fair site, you see the dates: 10 to 13

Official Skylander Youtube-Channel upload a better Quality of the Gameplay Demo ^-^

I dunno if anyone else caught it but uh..that Eruptor is very clearly the Series 2 version, but in the game it says "Series 1".



So uh..what's the dealio with that? Just an error in the tag?

I hope this game have a venus like lightning rod that cover her private parts with clouds that was cool

Countdown and Roller Brawl also said 'series 1' aswell, something the newlanders in giants didn't say. It's probably just because it's a demo. The giants demo had an image of the skylanders flash on the screen before they were imported in

Someone noticed that Eruptor is Level 7 and got over 700HP.

Quote: kappapopm

look at these figures. they look like something you find in the bargain bin for a dollar... that is for sure.

I'm a little put off by the slightly larger, more cartoony aspects of these. The current characters aren't shiny either--I wonder if they're cutting corners here. As Han Solo says, "I've got a bad feeling about this."

Doesn't Blast Zone have to be in the starter pack because you need his rocket boots to pass that level? But Magna Charge was shown off more?

It's confirmed that Magna charge is in the starter padk, as well as Washbuckler, but not Blast zone....wierd...

Blast Zone is, Magna Charge isnt.

Do remember that the demo for Giants ended with a Feat of Strength yet none of the levels in the final game have this as a level end mechanic.

Can I just say that, for the first time, Eruptor looks attractive to play as? I'm loving the revitalized graphics for the characters.

from kappapopm's post with the pictures I think that magna charge lights up because if you look in his wheel there is a wire and in game it is green, also his eye is clear

Quote: henryszuch

^Makes sense. Water and Fire. At least now we know that Magna Charge will be in the 3ds though.

Woah wait...what? Where was that confirmed at?

Anyone wondering about the level up mechanics? i think the upper half is going to keep the stats as the bottom half might not change the stats, the game could just view it as a function. it would be cool if you had 4 upgrade paths for each skylander, 2 for legs, and 2 for torso.

Quote: spyroflame0487

I question though what the original purpose of that Crash poster was. A planned game that was scrapped? Something created just for fun? It was apparently important enough for them to pull it from the internet after publishing it, so....dare I say we could see Crash being included in the lineup for the Core Skylanders in Swap Force?

With about 14 characters left to reveal for the Core figures, anything is possible right? Having Crash included would be something you whip out to generate a ton of hype..something like that would be perfect to show off at E3.

I am one of the few who hopes Crash becomes a Skylander. I'm not even a fan of him (Team Spyro baby!) but growing up in the 90s Crash and Spyro were THE mascots of PSOne so having them together in a game would be total nostalgia!

Let's not forget Spyro Orange and Crash Purple, the GameBoy Advance crossover games. Maybe Crash can be in the 3DS starter pack as a nod to that.

Crash isn't going to be a Skylander anytime soon, it's already confirmed:

GC: Oh, and is there anything you can say about Crash Bandicoot?

GB: [laughs] You’re talking about that photo with the poster on the wall?

GC: Yeah, I think there was some speculation you might be working on a reboot for Crash?

GB: Well, there’s nothing for me to say about Crash Bandicoot. [laughs] I mean I love the games, we’ve made some of the party games…

GC: Is there any reason why he couldn’t appear in a Skylanders game?

GB: Well, Crash Bandicoot is a very different personality to Spyro…

GC: But if I was Activision and I wanted to bring back Crash Bandicoot I would’ve thought a cameo in Skylanders would be a pretty good start.

GB: I think the best way to think about that is the same question you asked about Transformers and Spider-Man. Because the way I think about it personally is that Crash Bandicoot is a great IP, that’s had great game experiences in the past, but it’s very different than what Skylanders is today. That’s the way I think about it.

If the starter pack IS s3 stealthy, Wash Buckler, and Blast Zone.... anything ringing a bell for pokémon fans? Fire. "Grass" Water. That just popped out to me. Lol

I hope thats the pack since my brother wants wash buckler and I love blast zone

i hope swap force has even epic songs my only fav songs from both games

ssa arkyan armory dragons peak and the ruins theme
giants junkyard isles cuttroat carnival and giants theme

From the cutscene shown in the demo, there is music from Lost City of Arkus and Dragon's Peak.

really so are the reusing themes again

I miss a few days and look. A brand new game already.

WOW 60+ new skylanders coming this fall

16 Swaplanders
16 Newlanders
16 Series 3 (Maybe some series 2 in there)
8 Lightcore
4 Legendary (at least)
+ Variants etc

What a cop-out of an answer. "Crash is a very different personality to Spyro", yeah well so is Trigger Happy. I sense fanboy elitism. They could of just said "No, we have no real interest in making him a Skylander." instead of saying how ~different~ it is to Spyro (which, ironically, is different to *gaspshockhorror* Skylanders).

they use a printing machine to makes these figure right and dust em off somehow and they take em apart to add the light effects. am i right oh and paint em

The strangest part about the revealed Skylanders is that we haven't seen a single air, earth or magic Skylander in Swap Force yet. There must be some massive build up for those elements. Also anyone notice how sadly some characters actually play as subtle clones? Countdown shoots rockets like and his head comes off similar to which I love, but Blast Zone lobs bombs like .

They come out colored. That is just for the prototypes. They're solid figures with no inards at all. It's just to test the color scheme, posing and whatnot. The actual figures are made in factories like most other toys

I was just looking at the trailer and I realised that at the gameplay part where it says 'your new power is choice' It shows Magna Charge jumping but his bottom half is like a lion with blue shorts on. Possible new character?

A lot of champions are clones actually. you could go on and compare Choppy with Ignitor, heck, jet-vac basically is just a redesign of gill grunt, their attacks are pretty much the same (upgrades are different). they pull fun little things from each character.

What if...giants could go swap force

You're right, it looks like some yellow legs with blue shorts!
