Skylanders Introduces 20 New Figures, Including Super-Sized Giants

If you’re a regular reader here, then you know what big fans we are of the Skylanders Spyro’s Adventures game. Our 7 yr old (almost 8 on Saturday!) is still collecting the figures and absolutely loves this game. He’s not a real big video game player, but given the fact it combines video games with collectible toys – well, he’s a fan. He loves to collect things.

Activision has just announced a new chapter in their popular Skylanders line and I am so excited to share them with you!

Here’s a sneak peek at one of their new characters – a super-sized giant.

Awesome looking isn’t it? I haven’t even told Aaron yet. Maybe I should call him in from playing outside. Nah. Him playing outside means I’m getting some work done!

Just wait…I have more images and a video.

This next installment of the franchise features a variety of new characters, new challenges, a thrilling new story-driven adventure, and advanced integration across console, handheld, mobile and online:

Going Big: Skylanders Giants introduces eight new highly collectible figures that are more than twice the size of the main skylanders cast in both physical and virtual form. Their in-game powers and abilities reflect their colossal scale.

Bright Lights: Helping to further the real world magic of bringing toys to life, Skylanders Giants includes a set of characters that feature spectacular new light technology integrated into the toys, allowing the figure to light up when near or on the Portal of Power™. These characters have additional in-game benefits as well. Batteries are not required.

Brand New Skylanders: Eight new regular sized skylanders, each with their own unique powers, abilities, and personality, join the adventure alongside the Giants.

Forward Compatibility: Every beloved character from Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure is 100% compatible with Skylanders Giants, leveled-up stats and customizations intact.

Wider Worlds: Portal Masters will see all new arenas and more gameplay options in Battle Mode for exciting head-to-head play, as well as enhanced Elemental Zones, new Hero Challenges, and other features that encourage players to collect and level up every character.
