Spitfire is a Flame Spirit. Looks like a dragon, but he isn't a Dragon.

He's a Flame Spirit with Techno Dragon Armor. So Spitfire likes dragons so he wears armor like them.

Nowhere in his backstory says nor mention what you posted. It's pure fan speculation.

Comic Con's coming soon. We may expect some updates?

I still think he is the spirit of a dragon. Either that or he's a Fire Elemental, Willo Wispy thingy.

(fan speculation I did pages ago. Gosh darn it I need to watch what I say)

Hopefully something, maybe something on Nightfall or a new level preview. The trailers do seem to tend to that farm level.

When is Comic Con?

Comic con is July 8-12

Next week, we can expect some news by then.

Nintenodo reveals that the Wii U version of Superchargers will appear at Comic Con -

Woow, love the detail on Sea Shadow. But as usual, the images came from Instagram that never tell the actual image source.

Definitely at least for me.
Great catch!

Sea Shadow looks awesome (kinda have some classic Nautilus feel to it) but would have liked it more if it had pearlized green instead of that purple.
Weird thing is that it seems to have it on the artwork.

It's not exactly new but I'm not going back to that Skyfamily video to get frame-perfect pictures, so this is pretty nice and clear.

That is definately new.

First look at Jet-Vac. Or, at least the first high quality look at him.

Based on the figures we know so far I think I can say V.V. has a truly different approach to figures as well as the general feel of the game, compared to TfB.

They tend to avoid shades but use "special" paints and textures/materials (mostly metallic) which often work quite as well.
They also might be using a slightly different plastic a more "hard" and "scratchy" one.

I think I may go as far as saying they look "less detailed" (or to say it better, the details don't pop up that much, compared to TfB characters) but much more polished.

They also often use transparent parts and generale tend to be more experimental material-wise.
I think we can all agree you can easily recognize which figure was created by who.

A little late.

I was thinking that we've never seen Nightfall in action yet, not even on Sea Shadow because it was never supercharged.

So maybe we'll see more of the vehicle itself but not its pilot.
After all they might have revealed her only because a vehicle without a driver would have looked weird and "incomplete".

Remember that you can change the mods of a supercharged vehicle back to default - this is how Spitfire shows up in some trailer footage with normal Hot Streak.

Okay, Hurricane Jet-Vac's figure looks pretty cool. But I'm more curious to see what Splat and Nightfall's figures look like so we can get a glimpse of their legs.

Jet vac looks cool but also a little odd imo but I guess this could be a wave 1 figure I mean how many others have gotten hd pics like that?

He just looks...weird. He kinda looks like Hoot Loop, I guess. Maybe bc VV did him.

Jet Vac looks so awesome...

The Supercharged versions of old guys have thus far been pretty neat. As a collector who dropped out of buying reposes from the last few games where I could help it, I'm giving a lot more serious thought to getting the older guys now, especially with only...what was the total, 40? That's not too bad, and with sales it'd make it relatively easy to get stuff.

Jet-Vac looks nice, but there isn't as much detail as I would like, but oh well. I love Hoot loop and his mouth isn't even colored in.

Anyway, on that note spyroflame, with the low amount of figures there should be less saturation of Skylanders figures, especially with the lack of different types, there being only three, Combo Packs, Vehicle singles, and character singles. It should be pretty easy this year for sales, and with my low budget, I will have to rely on them. And if there do end up being rarer Skylanders, I will pick them up ahead of time. No biggy!

Looks like we will be getting some cool skylanders gear this year, most excited for the remote control cars!

I think they might make a Spyro Skymiibo for the Magic revamp.

Woah he lost his wings. Just like diveclops. Man everyone loses their wings nowadays. They need some redbull.

The 80s called. They want their show back

Just throwing something into the discussion:

Skylanders back on the P.C.....hmmmmm. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

From amazon.fr.

Racing packs??

It's french and the price is obviously for a whole box. The windows thing is definitely just an error but "Racing Pack" sound like the Adventure Packs of this generation!

Didn't knew it.

So the artworks with the non-supercharged vehicles driven by their SuperChargers do make sense after all!

At this point I have a question: are the supercharged mods exclusive to to the SuperChargers or can they be found/applied by any Skylanders and the SuperChargers simply automatically install them also boosting the vehicle?

Agree, probably this year's Adventure Pack: it may contain a vehicle, its SuperCharger and a new Adventure Piece (unless the vehicle somehow unlocks the level); doubt it would contain some Magic Items but you never know.

Wouldn't immediately exclude a PC release of some sort even if it seems odd.
We still have that "Battlecast" logo behind the sticker sheets which seems to hint at a website.

I suspect both: Race Tracks & a new level just like most adventure packs so far unlocked arenas as well as a new chapter. And for the Wii/3DS of course just Race Tracks or/and whatever else there is.

Supercharged Reef Ripper

from http://skylanders.wikia.com/wiki/Reef_Ripper.

It was found a while ago,not sure if it was posted here - but I definately saw it in the wiki.

I haven't seen mention of it here....I don't visit the Wiki. Nice find, regardless of when.

SO I was giving a look around newer videos on Youtube to see if there was finally clean footage of Cloud Breather Dragon, but I got something else from Nintendomination.

But at least at the start,not the gameplay. Look to the side, you CAN scan vehicles with the Swap Force Portal(and by extent the Traptanium Portal)! My wallet is slightly saved.

(also there's a QR code at the bottom of the figures, your guess is as good as mine as what's that for, but it's a sticker and probably not actually part of the figure)

Awesome news. I suppose they will come with a level piece, skylander and vehicle

Oh, more from that video(which I won't lie the guy was given no direction in how to play, it baffles me to see people follow enemies falling down the bottomless pits because reasons), and he ended up going after a normal Giftbox instead of the Land section, meaning there are standard hats to find.

And speaking of finding clean footage, the Nintendo Guest Star video in the official Skylanders channel has a longer song. That's a menu theme if I ever heard one.

Again for those who haven't seen it before on the wiki, Sea Shadow toy:

Looks nice

If they are going to show off Sea Shadow then they should either show off Nightfall along with it or the Light element vehicle along with it. Showing it off by itself like this just feels awkward.

I agree. I think that for the next big reveal (Comic-con maybe?) they should show Nightfall + Sea Shadow and a Skylander and vehicle that we have yet to see or Splat and her goat boat.

Or all three.
