Weren't there a few people on here with a modded Wii? If it can do screenshots, that might help for getting better res artwork for Volcanic Vault.


Yeah ...getting a screen shot of it is possable ...but the cards do not have a CGI pictures...there a cartoon styled (drawn) pictures.

What needs to be done is for someone over there that is close to Toys for Bob to go in and ask if artwork was ever done for the Volcanic Vault. And if not could the artist please draw one up. If i lived in Cally i would go in an ask.

Maybe Some Will Make All 250 Swap force skylanders cards with the skylander swap Hint hint

THAT would be pointless, as I'm sure the Swap Force figures will come with proper cards. THIS thread is about cards for stuff which didn't come with cards, like the Sidekicks. smilie


Pretty sure he meant cards for all the possible swaps. Like blast buckler, swash zone, etc. yes there will be cards for swash buckler and blast zone individually, but not the swapped versions of anything.

This thought occurred to me, but I dismissed that possibility because isn't there 256 possible combinations? Yes, I see him saying "250", so I guess so... Minus the 16 starting versions which will have cards, that's still 240 to make. Yikes! Seems like too big of a project, LOL!

I'd much rather see effort put towards mass production of these in a reliable manner myself. Someone has to have a decent working photo printer after all and a postmark + small reimbursement for ink and paper should tidy that up nicely.

The artwork for the Giants Sidekicks is already released, on the stickers that came with the the figures when they shipped. It's not as big as scanning it off of a package or card, but if someone scanned them at a high enough resolution, I'd bet they could be sized appropriately for cards easily enough.

no the stickers are to small...when they are blown up to the size of a card they pixelate to much.
Look at the sticker under a magnifying glass...thats what it will look like once they are sized to fit the card.

I thought of that, but with all the technology we have available to us (pixel doubling, Photoshop, etc.), I'd think that it wouldn't be incredibly difficult, even though I'd imagine that it would be tedious to get right.

i have been useing Photoshop an Paint Shop Pro for a very long time...so i do know how to use all those different filters...but since the sticker image is so small i would be technically redrawing it....witch is way to time consuming when the images where already made by the main artist. I could use the images that are on the frito lay web site if they didn't cut Thumpling foot off...and i would have to make the ring splash background....but since they are already drawn by the company, why should i draw it...i just need those images and i can whip the cards out in no time. Just like Dark did for the first ones(witch is probably why Dark hasn't made them yet either)

Phoenix_Lord Gold Sparx Gems: 2061
#63 Posted: 03:03:22 23/08/2013
I wasn't offering to make them...was saying i could make the cards like Dark did an also could do if he had the larger images. Just like anybody else could if they had the larger pictures. I was just stating theres no point in going to all the work of making those tiny pic's larger enough to fit the card when its a waste of time because the larger versions are already done by the original artist.

I dont think activision will release them as the promo is held by frito lay... And has been done, activision will not do something just to add something small like card only... But no harm in wishing smilie

The pictures are quite small and the background doesn't really match the other Giants backgrounds (and Thumpling's missing a foot) so I'd still recommend waiting for the proper full size artwork but here's your images turned into card shape.

Edit: Here's one of Barkley made with a full sized officially released image:

(I don't know the model number so that's just a wild guess)

Edit 2: Here's full sized versions based on the artwork released for Trap Team:
