Difference between normal and gold/silver figures? [CLOSED]

First off, I did a search and found nothing to answer this, when I got bored of digging through the results (ADD) I decided I'd be "that guy" and post a question that is probably already answered elsewhere.

I've heard that Gold figures start out at level 5 and have treasure straight out of the box (not really out of the box cause you wouldn't open it would you?) and I was curious if anyone knows if this is fact or fiction and what amount of treasure they come with...Also do the Silver figures have a similar bonus?

Feel free to just link to any topic that has this answer in it and bash me in the same post if it will give you your jollies.

Thanks

^I'm not sure if that's true or not but I know that they aren't gold colored in the game. It sounds false to me, why would they start them out at level five with gold already when it's more fun leveling them yourself? Maybe someone bought a used Gold one from someone that didn't open the character but played with it on the portal unopened and the person that bought it from him thought that all Gold characters were suppose to come that way? This is just my guess though.

All gold figures are level V and come with 2100 coinz. Silver figures are just like normal figures nothing special but the paint job

^ So it's true, that's good to know. I wonder why they decided to level them up to five?

Brock: "Raising a Pokemon is the best part of being a Pokemon trainer!"
Damien: "You're wrong. That's the most boring part of the job."

Clearly the people who made the gold Skylanders are like Damien and didn't listen to Brock's advice. What kind of Skylandermon trainers are those guys! They'd probably let their Erupt-mander die in the rain, those creeps! >:/

So, when the gold figures are in action in the console game are they actually gold?

It is what is called a portmanteau - when you meld two words together.

Actually the amount of gold isnt exact, unless someone wants to put one on their portal to check, but as listed but Activision themselves theystart at lvl 5 and "have enough gold on them to get ALL of their upgrades/abilites".

p.s.- if i got any gold or silver(or any other kind of variants) i'd still open them lol i'd just give them a different path then the normal variants(like i did with darkspyro and spyro).

Considering there are 2 in my house and I have placed them on my portal, I think I know what I am talking about.

You know that quotation marks are used to quote something right?

Here is the actual quote:

"And while he does not appear differently in the game, he's already leveled up to 5, and stocked with enough loot to buy several upgrades."

You don't even have to open them actually. The figures work right through the packaging.

Will all respect to Terranakari, do you think Monsinour simply plucked that amount of gold out of the air?

I can forward a screenshot of a gold Chop Chop on a portal showing these details. Fair enough, the amount of gold could conceivably be a random amount between two limits but the second gold fig obviously reported the same amount.

They are not all mine. Not even half of them are mine. But it sure is nice to have all of wave 3, including the golds, in the house in their original packing. It just stinks that I don't own any of it. LOL. The ones I own, save the gold, are open and being played with.
