Skylanders Giants introduces 16 brand new characters to play as. There will be eight giant Skylanders, at more than twice the size. There will also be eight brand new normal sized Skylanders to add to your collection.
There will also be new versions of older characters bringing the total number of new toys over 20."

so far these pictures have been released for the new skylanders game...

Hmm... Two confirmed Giants, one confirmed redesign.
They seem cool

The blue one is not a giant

oh, didn't see that picture of him with the enemies.

One Giant, *Two new characters, one redesign.
Still cool

EDIT: Make that TWO new characters

Well, the chaotic one may just be the Skylander of the dark.

I've seen various websites that have given images with the giant the name 'Tree Rex' so... I'm guessing that's gonna be his name.

Now I want that Cynder toy wayyy to badly...

Yeah the giant is called Tree Rex and the blue thing is Alchemist.

Now that you mention it, I hope there'll be a Skylander based on a faun or satyr.

I assume the new Cynder is supposed to represent the DotD design?

I think I just saw an evil trigger Happy and Sonic Boom with a gun 0_o

The little blue guy looks like 'my pet monster!" haha Remember that show and toy? hahaha

Thatsa not beast, not even close.

Here's Alchemist on the Portal of Power

He's not a Giant.

As this preview shows, Alchemist can drink from his magic potion to transform into this 'Giant' from his latest pics.

His pedestal isn't large like Tree Rex, and if you hadn't noticed the Alchemist is still smaller than the enemies.

Right. This is just to show that Alchemist is one of the new 8 normal-sized Skylanders, rather than a Giant.

^ Look at the eyes on the Alchemist figure and then look at his eyes in the game screen shots, I think he's originally a smaller, trigger happy sized character and becomes a larger and more fears character when he ingests his potions. Some of his attacks probably require him to be in his "beast" form such as the pictured roaring attack. He might have other potions that give him other various effects.

He has like a Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde vibe.

^ Thanks funny, I was thinking about that too.

That is a really cool concept!!!!

I'm still waiting for a musical Skylander.

Terrafin doesn't count.

ima get cynder again mybe that eagle and the hopfully hidden chinese dragon

What do you mean get Cynder again? The old figures are still compatible with this game.

Or did I miss something?

Yes, the old characters are still compatitable with Skylanders: Giants.

i kow but its not black and hompfully we get the chinese dragon like in the video i want it to be magic

That "normal-sized" bird Skylander looks awesome. O8

^ Yah he does, what does he shoot eggs out of that bazooka... or maybe it's something for his voice or scream????

^ The voice/scream attack is actually a good guess because it almost looks like there's a megaphone type thing attached to the end of the "gun" where his mouth is open. There's a tube on top of the gun that looks like it's wrapped around the gun and attached to that megaphone. This's just a guess.

The Person with the Alchemist video also has one of the bird. At the end of the video it has a closeup of the the bird, and you can see a fan inside of it. He has an air gust attack and some sort of spin attack.

(can't post the video as I'm on my iPhone right now, but should be easily found through the video previously posted)

^ Oh, thanks! I can't seem to find the video on YouTube but I have an idea of what it looks like.

Edit: Never mind, I just found it. He looks like a fun character to play as. It looks like he can hover with his gun too.

i hope the chinese dragon is in the new one

Found a link that has the video of the bird:
