Where did you get the story from? Are there some more?

You didn't look at the latest posted card video? The backstories are from the video of someone videotaping the cards and the backstories.

I think SkylandersGame would be posting real HD images of the Swap Force, like they did with the NightBomb art they posted.

They will take ages to post them, by the time that they post the missing art ones, the game will be out for weeks, you know how their Facebook page is xD

I Love Fire Kraken! First on new page!

Or not ;(

New Frito Lay promo; Pumpkin Fright Rider!


For those who are wondering: This IS for Swap Force.

First Pumpkin Eye Brawl, then Pumpkin Fright Rider?

Backstories revealed so far, from card video above:

Scratch
High in the peaks of Cats Eye Mountain sits a towering city of crystal and gold that can only be reached by creatures of the Air Element. It was here that Scratch spent her youth soaring playfully in the clouds or exploring the endless number of crystal mines. One day, an army of Pirate Greebles arrived in a fleet of airships, looking to steal ancient magic crystals buried deep in the mountain. Donning specially made armour, Scratch led an epic battle against the pirates, using her incredible fighting skills to defend the crystals and the city. Tales of her heroism soon made their way to Jet-Vac, who traveled to Cats Eye Mountain and recruited Scratch to the Skylanders.

Smolderdash
Smolderdash had always wanted to be a royal defender of the Fire Temple - home of the First Flame, a sacred torch that had been ignited by the original Fire Source. Unfortunately, she had been born during an eclipse and was believed by her people to be cursed, which prevented her from such an honor. But when Kaos stole the flame and used it to light the candles on his birthday cake, it was Smolderdash who went after it. Blazing like a comet, she dashed into Kaos' Lair, repelled the troll security force with her flaming whip, and retrieved the sacred flame just before Kaos blew out the candles. Smolderdash returned home as a champion of her people and was finally granted the honor of becoming a royal defender. But she graciously declined, having set a new goal for herself - to help fight against Kaos as a member of the Skylanders.

Bumble Blast
Bumble Blast started life as a humble beehive in the Radiant Mountains, where for ages the bees made the most sweetest, most magical honey in all of Skylands. When Kaos heard about this "super honey", he wanted all of it for himself and soon launched an attack on the peaceful Bees. But when his minions arrived to plunder everything the bees had created, they were met by Bumble Blast. He alone had been home to the bees and considered himself their protector. Using the power of the magic honey, Bumble Blast valiantly battled the evil minions, who felt his powerful sting that day. Afterward Bumble Blast roamed Skylands as a protector of nature, where he soon joined with the Skylanders.

Fire Kraken
Raised on a small island surrounded by a vast ocean of fire, Fire Kraken was the swiftest, most agile warrior his tribe had ever seen. And when a fleet of Fire Troll ships arrived to steal the legendary Burning Heart, a huge elemental crystal that fueled the fiery seas, Fire Kraken leapt into action. Using a magical staff to control his natural ability to wield fire, he set the mighty ships ablaze, forcing the trolls into a hasty retreat. Having saved the Burning Heart as well as his homeland, Fire Kraken soon joined the Skylanders, where he knew his skills would help those in need.

on the video it shows rubble rousers bottom special, DRILL attack

Edit your first post please, no need for double-post.
Also, we should start getting more info now witht he cards, I believe the SSF website will be updated in the beggining of October, but I still think it should have already been updated.

Definitely loving Smolderdash's and Fire Kraken's back-stories. A sea of fire is definitely something else to imagine.

Sorry SkylandersBoy and I think it shold be updated tom. But I'll have to watch them probably on my phone in school.

I speculate the 30th for the website because that's 2 weeks from the US launch.

Skylanders just posted a brand new cgi trailer like the ones we've seen for SSA and Giants.

Sic!!!!!!!!!!!!

Loving the new CG trailer, and there's also this new TV ad.
Plus, there will be an official Skylanders show for the YouTube channel, which is teased at the end. Looks like a vlog style that will more than likely disclose info on characters and what not.

Awesome trailer!

Well, SOME news..

I have a feeling that the site will be updated either tonight or tomorrow.

Double sic!!!!!

I feel like they should make a show with skylanders the CGI trailers never fail to amuse me

This. I am LOVING the new ads!

Hopefully updated with those "Meet the skylander" videos!

Yay new stuff! Can't wait to see more, and that SSF ad is quite funny.

uh... i cant se the swapability chary

...What is this "Boomcast" thing they mention at the end. Are they doing a Skylanders podcast type-thing on the channel?

A picture of the characters, for people who didn't catch that moment in the video:

A nice picture but nothing new, just maybe Big Bang Trigger Happy toy but we had already seen it, thanks anyway.

Looks like it.

Can't wait for that! I really want to see an episode!

About those videos, they look great! And btw, don't no if anyone noticed it on the What's New vid either, but Blast seems to get some sort of armor on his back in the Just like SF and What's New w/ SF...

A picture of the characters, for people who didn't catch that moment in the video:

Wait a second... I SEE SOMETHING!!! Look in the top right corner area next to Zoo Lou, Lightcore Flashwing and Trigger Happy. It looks like an Undead element, but it can't be. Maybe a magic item to one of the other Adventure or Battle packs? Or maybe... An Undead Sidekick! Let's think, either Rattle Shake, Night Shift, Roller Brawl or Grim Creeper. Who could the sidekick version of them be if it is a sidekick?

Im pretty sure behing Triggs is Star Strike, then Rattle Shake, behind Flashwing is Roller Brawl then Countdown and behind Zoo Lou is Dark Blast Zone.

^ That looks like roller brawl

That's Star Strike.

Oh wait, I realized the thing I saw was taller than I thought... It's just Rattle Shake, sorry guys!

EDIT: Sorry if I am wrong again, but I think I see... Punk Shock's pose in the far upper right directly above Flashwing?

LOOK NEXT TO COUNTDOWN AND DARK BLAST ZONE! MAYBE LIKE PUNK SHOCK???????

I think that's just Countdown above Flashwing.

@ Rattle Blade, I think it is too, I already edited my last post.

No, once the angle changes, you can see it's just Wash Buckler.....

Or maybe LC

It would have been great if they threw in some toy models we haven't had a good look at in that part of the ad. Just a couple like Dune Bug or such in the background to get us scrutinizers excited. But I do understand that they probably want to keep some stuff under wraps to prolong our curiosity and excitement.

Most of the figures there are just duplicates of each other, except for Dark Blast Zone.

Yeah, the thing that looks like Punk Shock turns out to be a combo of Countdown, Star Strike, Wash Buckler and the ground Lol.

Well I missed a lot lol

We probably won't be seeing much of some of the characters like Dune Bug, Punk Shock or Trap Shadow any time soon, because I'm betting they will most likely be some of the last ones released in the final waves, just like how with Giants, Ninjini and Eye Brawl were a couple of the lasts giant figures announced and were also released the latest.

Well at least they learned how to spell cartoon.

Target's website has pictures of all the wave 1 packaging minus Rattle Shake and the double pack.

Agreed, unless they decide to buck the trend which is very doubtful.
