I was checking out facebook and there was a great update from Skylanders Game. The Skylanders website underwent a GIANT update. Now you can go and check out the details and stories on every single new Skylanders Giants figure. There are eight new Giants (One for Each Element) and also one new regular size Skylanders figure (One for Each Element). Each exisiting figure gets a new release in a new pose (maybe, one of each element is missing from the collector’s poster) and then there are 8 new Lightcore figures.

Here is the trailer for the brand new Skylanders Giants game.

You can go to the Skylanders website and see each and every new Skylander. Just click on the element symbol and then you can see the whole team for that element.

I wonder why there are missing characters, will the be released later? They aren’t even on the big collector’s poster. You’ll notice that series two figures have a yellow base where the series one figures have green bases.

Now those are all the figures that are on the official site but there are some other figures that are at Toys R Us. There is a three pack of Legendary figures that you can get from Toys R Us. They have a deal right now where you can reserve the hot toys for Christmas You can go to Toys R Us to print out the Holiday Hot Toy List to bring to your local toys R us. The Legendary pack has Jet Vac, Slam Bam and Ignitor. There will also be a Legendary Chill, Legendary Stealth Elf and Legendary Giant Bouncer.

And, over at GameStop you can order a special three pack of figures. Well, actually it is two figures and a new battle area. The two figures are Shroomboom and Chop Chop. The other item is the Golden Dragonfire Cannon
