Hot on the heels regarding the announcement that Skylanders Trap Team is coming to Tablets we find out that the Sidekicks, the cute little mini versions of popular Skylanders figures, will be playable in the game. They have actually been renamed Skylanders Minis, too. I have a bunch of fun photos of the characters including some screenshots to show you the characters in action.

Then when I got home there was Barkley and Mini Jini waiting for me. Glad those guys have finally arrived. Now I’m down to three figures left to go. The last three Lightcore figures, Pop Fizz, Hex and Chill.
