Dark NSE is literally the worst skylander they could of picked for a dark variant. "Hey guys, let's take this figure that is already molded in mostly black and make her a special dark edition by painting what's showing of her face gray!"

I think she looks the best, but anyway, we're getting off-topic.
Interesting, a Punch pop Fizz single pack?

Actually the interesting part is they confirmed it to be exclusive to the Battle Pack....unless I missed that from an earlier reveal?

Looks pretty good.

He's gonna get a LightCore, like Shroomboom.

Looks like he's the next shelf-clogger.

The biggest image you can get

Dude why did you make the picture so big and the dark earth character is obviously slobber tooth cuz it says so on the trading card

^Why bring the big image on this page? Putting it as an image link would've been much more effective...

The big image does confirm the unique, silvery Portal though...
Looks awesome in my opinion, the best one yet.
Crop of the Darkstarter portal:

Also, I for one never noticed before that on the new portal design, the old Skyrune symbols still remain, on the edges of the arches. Cool. Makes the arches like mini-portals...

Dark NSE looks like a zombie (._. )

Not really, but each their own opinion I suppose. Unless you're referring to that fan-artwork someone posted of zombie-ish (or was it gothic? I couldn't tell :P) Dark variants
So Darkstarter total includes:
-Game
-Unique Portal
-Mega Poster
-5 Unique figures
Not bad. The portal looks better, and the runes are more pronounced.
The runes are on the standard portal as well, but are much harder to see.
Also, I wonder if the new portal will be cross-compatible with all systems?

Some swapping info regarding the Darklanders in the Dark Edition pack:

Thanks!
(Bold font added)Quote: Skylanders Swap Force Dark Edition Skylanders: How They Swap

What happens when you start swapping the top and bottom halves of Dark Swap Force Skylanders with regular Swap Force Skylanders? I have confirmed with Activision that this kind of swapping works much in the same way as swapping two non-Dark Swap Force Skylanders.

For example, if you were to take Dark Wash Bucker's top half and combine it with Rattle Shake's bottom half, the new character will be Dark Wash Shake. However, if you combine Rattle Shake's top half with Dark Wash Buckler's bottom half, the new character is simply Rattle Buckler. The "Dark" portion of the character only transfers to new characters via the top half.

So that confirms it! The Dark prefix is only added if the upper halve is Dark. Too bad, but it makes sense.

So if I were to take Nitro Magna Charge and Legendary Free Ranger, top magna, bottom ranger, then the combo would be Nitro Magna Ranger.

I get it!

Amy one else notice that the portal has at least 8 little arches on it to show the elemental symbols however if you look at it. Im sure we can see 8 and there is at least 2 more on the other side.

10 symbols on the portal? Will two be repeated?

Sorry if sounds stupid.

Nitro Magna Ranger sounds like a new form of Power Ranger.

I'm pretty sure there's only eight symbols on it.

So you quote it then?

Once again, sorry for the double post but you know I said about the cards being ASDA exclusive, well Amazon have them too...

So, with the Dark Edition having a Portal variant, my total number of portals will rise from 6 to 9. That is, unless Walmart does another GITD Starter for consoles and 3DS.

Looks like VV will be at Gamescom in a couple weeks. We will probably get the last reveal there before the release.

Then Activision can ride the next 6 weeks of media attention to ramp up their ad presence.

Oh God, not another variant exclusive there, PLEASE!

Either that, or they're gonna reveal gameplay for some of the New Skylanders.

I REALLY want for them to reveal the last characters figure poses, and some frickin meet the skylanders videos!

Gamescom has usually been where they've handed out the character posters - so it'll most likely be when we see the final versions of all the characters.

when is gamescom also if someone go's take pictures

gamescom is august 21st-24th

Yeah, you're right. Talking about a swap force figure in the swap force section IS getting off topic. Let's talk about a figure from Giants instead, that's more on topic.

Well, trying to get someone back on topic is off topic.

trying to say that getting on topic is off topic is off topic.

Sorry, I dont mean Zombie, I wanted to say that she looks kinda death because of her skin colour.

maby that is what she is, hallo, dark and all, to me, she looks awesome , instead of all the spilled grean, i dont like the combination of black and green , and i prefer silver over gold

I've combined the two Portal of Power images into the one image for easier comparison and sharing

Obviously you don't understand what you're talking about

To get off the argument, anyone else notice that only the Dark Portal has swirls on it?

It's probably just a newer version of the portal. That image is from the Toy Fair reveal back in February

Now that I think about it, I might not be able to afford this game after I get Disney Infinity...

But I want DI... I guess I'll just have to do some yard work and save up some money.

Then don't buy additional figures...

I think both portals will have the swirl and the silvery paint. Makes sense to me.
