sorry, but i still havnt hear those voices, besides, i dont want to, i dont want to know till ssf comes out
so i have a "serprise"

I think Cynder's figure may be clear to represent her transitioning into Shadow Dash. It still looks sucky though.

Also, random thing, but LightCore Countdown... Looks like he's dumping.

Was it mentioned that on the website, you can hear each character say their battle cry? There's a little icon you can click on the character pages by the battle cry.

Is it me or do the new guys sounds like a marketing chant devoid of personality? There's a few exceptions, but these are shockingly different as opposed to previous toys. They just sound too close to each other, to me personally.

Also, it looks like they are lifting all character voices from the previous game and using them as is. I guess that's ok from a consistency standpoint; and understandable given their hi-def makeover. It would be nice if they can get a huge library of phrases from the actors to be used over the course of the character's lifetime to mix it up.

You're definitely not alone on that one! I also dislike the personalities of many of the new characters. It feels like way too many of them are just goofy or happy- beyond the "kids game" excuse(SSA Slam Bam says hi). >:/
Did they get lazy with that, or lose inspiration, or something? The characters are a major part of what makes Skylanders good- they should have unique personalities, too.

In fact, the only personality I really like a lot this time is Wind-Up, because he gives off a genuinely mad, out-of-order vibe, not just a generic silly one. He kinda reminds me of the cymbal-banging monkey from that one Futurama episode: definitely concisous, but seemingly insane.

I hope that they change the little phrases during gameplay, or add new ones, at least. They were already horribly repetitive in Giants, I hope we can turn them off this time.

well, on the first hand i was realy uninterested in fire, but then i saw what smoulderdash could do and i was sold, srsly, she's pretty OP

talking about OP's, many of these new characters look pretty strong, maby too strong...

Dark spyros catchphrase is not light out its still all fired up look on the website

lightcore countdown look to be constipated


cynder: what?

Fire Kraken's voice is really original, and differs a lot from the others.

yes, he's amazing:
here:

ok, so here is my first inpression of the voices


blastzone-sounds like ignitor
fire kraken- Original, he reminds me of a youtube vid with a crazy reshiram in it
fryno- ugh, too unoriginal
smoulderdash- she sounds like sonicboom in my opinion
freezeblade- hmm, i think he sounds like jet vac
punk shock- sounds like she belongs on the farm
riptide- nah, terrafin voice
doom stone- boring voice, not Original
rubble rouser- aka fire kraken but less cool
scorp- terrafin again
slobbertooth- TERRAFIN AGAIN!


~going to point something out here~
stealth elf- sounds stronger then the first editions, hmmm


stink bomb- jet vac look alike
bumble blast- wow, this one fits well, nice
boom jet- huh, is this realy his voice?
zou lou- I LOVE HIS VOICE wow, realy nice done!
free ranger- i like the echo, but thats it realy
pop thorn- i loved him more wen he had a wreckingball voice....
scratch- flashwing look alike but that accent makes it good
megna charge- i tought he had a robot voice, well he doenst
spy rise- too much like all the otthers
countdown- nah, its ok, but not the best
wind up- countdowns brother calling it now
hoot loop- brittan accent, i dont like this
trap shadow- unoriginal!
cant heard dune bug's vice
cant hear star strike's voice too
night shift- terrafin!!!!
rattel shake- not even a sliss????
grim creeper- i had something better in mind
roller brawl- nah, sonic boom


conclusion: more then 50% sounds like terrafin
20% sounds like sonic boom and the rest isnt great either

LOL but I have seen his video before.

The voices for the new Skylanders do seem to be fairly...bland? Generic? Of course, we are only hearing one phrase, so they may be different once we hear a bit more of them. I was hoping though that the voices would be as unique as previous Skylanders, like Zap, Ignitor, etc. Accents and what not.
But again, wait and see until more dialogue comes out.

I mean when he's making his entrance after you put him on the portal, when he comes out of his shell, he looks stubby lol.

Item has been taken down. Shame as well. Was there any screenshots of gameplay?

The item's still there. It did have a screenshot;



I'm most interested in this 'changing in the sunlight' thing. Something different for an in-game variant.

Yeah but not going to mess with leaving EHL in the sun for a color change
Then again ordering one will put quite a color change on her (Usually my amazon ordered figures get at least a minute or 2 of sun depending if I am somewhere else rather then my house)

That's actually an interesting variant, seems VV has been experimenting with paint if you count Dune Bug with his glossy colours as well. I could go for this one or normal, whichever I come across first.

Good find!

Ok, here is what I think.

Rattle Shake: I think I heard a sliss, when he says "snake".
Magna Charge: I'm pretty sure that his voice sounds robotic, in-game.
Fire Kraken: as I already said, I really like it.
Zoo Lou: weird, but cool.
Pop Thorn: eeeeh... No. He just doesn't fit the character.
Grim Creeper: well... I kinda like it.
Grilla Drilla: you forgot it. He is really similar to the most of them, but he really fits the character. I like it.
Free Ranger: don't ask me why... But i love it!

The others are more or less the same...
That being said... I don't live in America, or in England. So, I hope the dubbing is better, here. The last two games were done quite good.

OMG wow, that makes EHT so much more awesome!

I'm loving the new MAGIC TRIPLE PACK! That's awesome. Maybe they will do that with more elements? I would like a Fire element one.

No worries, it happens!

The voice acting for the new characters and Swappers sounds worse than Mega Man X7. Yes, I just said that.

Random note: I went to Legendary Slam Bam's page on the website, and clicked on his video link......... and it took me to a random six minute concert video. What the heck?

All S2/S3 Skylanders have the same voices from Giants, like they never did new dialogue for Swap Force.

Wow! A magic triple pack AND enchanted hoot loop!

Check out Horn Blast Whirlwind's video on her page. It's also a concert video. ~Cuz' you can go your own waaaaay~ I have officially made that the theme of just because of that.

The SS in the Magic pack is definitely normal, not LC.

Is anyone else unable to hear Dune Bug's and Star Strike's catchphrases? There's no button for it (only for them though)

Also, translucent Phantom Cynder is probably going to be my hands down favourite version of that character, if not favourite toy from this game.

Awesome. I guess this is a way to get normal Star Strike before her single release then, since only the LC version is coming out in Wave 1.

The magic triple dosen't come out until November 1st
And enchanted hoot loop comes out October 18th...

Here it is.

You know what? I take that back. I really love Grilla Drilla's voice!

I really hope they fix the ring and wand being silver and not gold in SF because his bottom half is going to look boss on Dark Blast!

Well that's probably the idea.

Well, I'm sure Spyro fans will buy every repose from now until the end of time, and it's not like we can escape buying a new portal. If you plan on getting reposes you can save $20, so that's like getting the reposes free.

Should I keep my reposes sealed?

I agree. I've often wondered why Activision didn't try single-element 3-packs or 4-packs in the past. It makes sense to me, both for collectors and for holiday gift-giving. I personally think that Spyro/Pop Fizz/Star Strike is/was a REALLY weak way to introduce this type of 3-pack, considering that there are like 5 versions of Spyro and at least 4 versions of Pop Fizz. I guess it might be kinda cool for someone who didn't play/collect during SSA or Giants ... but if that's the target audience, then why make it store-exclusive?

Odd, and wasted opportunity, in my opinion. Putting two brand new characters in the 3-pack would have improved the reception and forthcoming sales, I bet.
They could have had much more success with a 3-pack featuring Roller Brawl / Grim Creeper / Chop Chop, or Fryno / Smolderdash / Hot Dog. Just a couple of examples.

Rumor has it that it's exclusive to the North Pole. Only proof I can offer is word-of-mouth from some elves.
