Skylanders Giants: Light Core

Hello fellow Portal Masters,

since the amazon.de info, I want to give you the newest update on lightcore characters.

On amazon.de you can order rhe following ones:

Eruptor

Jet-Vac

Prism Break

Drobot

In addition we know about Shroomboom

I really did not see Jet-Vac getting a Light Core. I guess his JetPac will light up, but who knows? Maybe amazon.de just got it wrong....

But that would leave us with 3 open spots for Lightcore:

Undead

Magic

Water

I speculate that Hex will ligth up (wishful thinking), so that Chill/new regular water and Pop Fizz get a Light Core version, if they split 50/50 old and new.

What do you think? Did you see Jet Vac coming? Who do you want to light up?

Let me know in the comments!

Skylanders Giants: Tripple Pack

Hello fellow portal masters,

on amazon.de they leaked the first four tripple packs, to I wanted to share them:

Triple Pack A: Pop Fizz, Trigger Happy, Whirlwind

 

Triple Pack B: Chill, Zook, Ignitor 

I do not know who chill is yet, but it should not be fire, since ignitor is in the same pack, I am sure, I know who undead is and it does not fit that well for me for tech or magic, so I think it is water

also, I do not have the new Ignitor as non legendary, that's why I took this pic.

Triple Pack C: Sprocket, Sonic Boom, Stump Smash

I think Sprocket is the new teck skylander, since it sounds like soemthing with rocket, so there is no pic yet

Also I have no pic of remodeled Stump Smash, so there is just Sonic Boom

 

Triple Pack D: Flashwing, Gill Grunt, Double Trouble

 No new Gill Grunt yet, Flashwing for me is the new earth Skylander (he seems to have wings and is flashy)

How do you like the new tripple packs? Which one is your favourite?

Let me know in the comments!

Until next time

Skylander Giants: Names

Hello Portal Masters,

Amazon.de has leaked names!

That is so exiting! I like to have names, without knowing who is behind that.
So "mysterious".

So, let's try to get all the names we know and the new one:

Giants:
Crusher
Swarm
Tree Rex
Bouncer


New according to amazon.de (based on price)

Hot Head (my guess: Fire)-------------------------------------

Regular Size:
Shroomboom
Jet-Vac

New according to amazon.de (based on price):

Sprocket  (my guess:Tech)
Flashwing (my guess:Earth)
Chill (my guess: Water)
Fright Rider (my guess: Undead)


That would mean, that only the regular Fire Skylanders name and the Undead, Water and Magic Giant names are missing.

I like the new names, but who knows if they are true?

What do you think!?

CU next time!

Skylanders Giants: All characters.. kind of

Hello Portalmasters,

I know, most of you might have seen this elsewhere and I wasn't sure if I should post it, because I try to figure out what exactly to see, since I first saw it, but you should help me figure it out :)

What we see here is a merchandise booth that was on the E3 (as far as I heared) and what you can see is a poster of all characters:

Ok, I admit, that is really blurry.. Which is really sad, based on what this poster would show.

I tried to figure out some, but I am more or less cerain I am wrong with A LOT! ;)

So let me know your guesses, and c u next time! ;)

(Now that I look at it, the last row seems to something completely different)

Skylanders Giants: Swarm

Hello fellow portal masters,

I already did a post on the new Air Giant, but I just wanted to do this quick update.

His name was revealed! His name will be Swarm.
So we do know: Bouncer, Crusher, Tree Rex and Swarm. 4 of 8.

I like the names so far. Kind of simple but nice.

His story was also revealed:
Swarm was once a prince from a proud race of mysterious insect warriors that had built their entire civilization inside a giant honeycombed pyramid. Growing up as one of the 9,000 members of the royal family, he was never permitted to leave the hive. But unlike his brethren, there was a magical quality to Swarm that caused him to grow much larger than the rest of his kind. No longer able to fit amongst the rest of his colony, the young prince broke the long standing tradition and stepped out into the open world - where his size and strength would be put to good use in the legendary battle between the Giants and the Arkeyans.



I don't really care about the story. I mean, most of the previous game did not pick up any of the story lines, so I don't know. That story sounds kind of forced...
And they don't do anything with the story yet (Where's Gill Grunt's Mermaid? What is with Ignitor's witch hunt?)

Do you like Swarm?
Let me know in the comments.

Until next time,

Series 2, Lightcore and so on

Hello Portal Masters,


Today, let's have a look at the picture from the Skylanders Giants E3 trailer

(source: http://www.darkspyro.net/images/giants/array.jpg)

Ok, first of all, I already talked about (from left to right) New Earth Skylander, Light Core Prism Break, Light Core Er Series 2 Cynder, Crusher, Jet Vac, Bouncer, Shroomboom, New Water Skylader, Air Giant, Water Giant, Pop Fizz, Tree Rex, New undead skylander and all the green base figures.

So, as far as we see here, we get:

Double Trouble

Drill Sergeant

Chop Chop

Drobot

2nd Drobot (maybe one in Lightcore?)

3rd Drobot, but I think that's more a fan honor, who rebuilds skylanders

Hex (I would love her to be Lightcore)

Sonice Boom

Terafin

Trigger Happy

Whirlwind

Now, this migth all be series 2 skylanders, or Lightcore Version. Time will tell.

We also seem to get 2 more Legends (maybe 4 all up, to get one legend for each element)

Slambam                                                    Ignitor    

There are people saying, this is not Slambam, but I think this is the only real possibility.

I admit, I oble see like three arms, but who else could it be? 

Lastly, there are lots of rumours about the thing behind Terafin.

              

Of cource, I don't know who it is, but the only options seem to be the Tech Skylander (since it is the only one we haven't seen in this size or.... a red Pop Fizz.

I don't say it has to be Pop Fizz, but the design it really alike and I would be kind of dissappointed if the tech skylander would be that close in design.

But again, time will tell.

What do you think of the remodels? Will you get any?
Let me know in your comments!

C U next time!

Skylanders Giants: Series Two Skylanders

Hello guys,

Series 2 Skylanders a versions of Skylanders that have been in the first game.

They do have an additional power (I wonder if the Light Cores will also get that), the wow pow power and in some way, they seem to be able to switch between upgrade paths.
I personally am torn about the hole subject.

The changing of upgrad paths is great (althouhg I really wonder how that will work) and the additional power is nice. However, I don't want to buy a remodeled Skylander for each upcoming game.
So I hope they will think about that.

Another point I don't get: There will be 24 Series 2 Skylanders.
So 8 will not get remodeled. How did they chose these 8? I mean, ok, IF (i highly doubt that) 4 of the 8 get the Light Core Version (as I said, doubt that, I think based on Shroom Boom, Light Core will be 4 of the 24) then it would just be 4 missing. But what if these are my favourites? I mean, I would rahter have bout 32, with the promise they will work for future games and will not be reposed over an over again.
But getting all but 8 (I guess on of each element)? I don't get it.

I also wonder if the changing of paths, Wow Pow skills and stuff are available for the new Skylanders and the Giants.

But only time will tell.

So for now, let's have a look at the 2 characters, which have been official Series 2 skylanders (I know there are other pictures arround, but I will get to them in a different post, since it is not seen, if they are Series 2 or Light Core Characters).

The first who was shown was Zook.

(source: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120301055207/spyro/images/1/19/Newzook.jpg)

I like his new version more than his series one, but I cannot really tell you why.

Let's see them next to each other: 

I really don't know what it is. It must be the face...

Ok, the second one we have seen is Cynder.

 (source:http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120613145813/spyro/images/4/4d/New_cynder.jpg)

Our Dragon Lady looks really gorgeous.
Let's compare old Cynder with new Cynder:

I think, Cynder looks much more "grown-up" in the new version. I don't know.
The old one seemed cute, the new one more majestic in a way.

Cynder is also the first Skylander we've seen some of the new Power.

A litgtning out of the sky to smash enemies.
Ok, I am less than impressed, but who knows? Maybe it will be upgradeable to something amazing?
Destroying the ground and freeing 10 ghosts?
Ok, ok, I know, unlikely!

Well, that's it for now.

How do you like the Series two guys? I will say, I like the design and if you can switch upgrades, that's kind of cool, but Wow Pow (at least Cynders...) does not excite me that much.
And I still don't get why 8 get banned from remodeling.

C U next time!

Charon
