Hello Fellow Portal Master,
For the future, I will not continue signing everything with "Portal Master".
It just seems a little unpersonal, so I will go with Charon in the future.
Now let's focus again on Skylanders.

Skylander Giants: Crusher
Hello Portal Masters,
Today, let's have a closer look at the Earth Giant, Crusher.
Let's start with his outer appereance:

I think he looks quiet impressive. I would not want to mess with his hammer.
Also in toy form, Crusher knows to convince:

The light up feature works nice on hi shoulder and in his eyes.
I think it is a little sad that the shards in his body don't all glow as well.
Now, let's have a look at his attacks.
His first attack (please note, the order of the attack is just how I chose it. I don't know how it will be in the game later) is just crushing his enemy with his giant hammer... Now we know how he got his name!
I know the picture aren't the best. To see him in action visit the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lne1_LAD6lY.
Hm, ok a melee attack, nothing special in my opinion, but ok.
Let's have a look at attack number 2. I call it Medusa's glance.
Ok, again to see it in action, look at the video.
As much as the melee attack let me down, this is absolutely amazing.
Turning your enemies to stone, that's so cool and so well fitting with the Giant and Earth theme, because that seems like a Giant ability (I hope it is not as difficult to target as Slam Bams Ice Prison).
The third and, as far as I see it, last attack (all the old skylanders had just three attacks, so I guess it will be similar with the Giants, although with the introduction of WowPow, who knows...)
Ok, that is really hard to see. Basically, our skylander explodes into bits and pieces and reassembles in the end.
I like how this could be an elegant way out of being ambushed.
So, I would say, for the fun of it, let's start a little voting system on the new toys, which we have seen in action.
Categoires are Looks (how much do I like the look of the Skylander), Originality (how much does the charatcer Design differ from other Skylanders), Powers (how do I like the powers), Variety (how much does he have to offer), overall rating
Looks: 3/5
Orignality: 2/5 (a little close to Prism Break in Design)
Powers: 4/5
Variety: 5/5 (melee attacks, Medusa's glance, exploding...)
Overall Rating: 3.5/5
I think I do like this Giant a lot, more based on Powers though than design.
But I am looking forward to test him!
What do you think? Is it Crush Hour soon?
Until next time,
Your Portal Master

Skylanders Giant: Water Giant
Hello my fellow Portal Masters,
Today, let's just have a look at the Water Giant.
(source: http://www.darkspyro.net/images/giants/array.jpg)
This guy seems to be ready to board...
Although I still wonder why his base is not crystal clear. I gues, only time will tell..
What do you guys think?
Let me know!
CU next time,
Your Portal Master

Skylanders Giants: New Undead Skylander
Hello Portal Master,
I know, sooo much stuff to read, but for now I keep it short an simples :)
And I will get to write more details about the Skylanders we already know more about within the next days.
But for now, let's focus on the new undead Skylander:
(source: http://www.thehdroom.com/images/news/10799l.jpg)
Wow, what a cool dude! Writing the little skeleton....
I doubt he is a giant, cause his toy does not look big in comparison:
(source: http://www.darkspyro.net/images/giants/array.jpg)
He looks like he and Hex would be a power couple.
I am really exited to see his powers.
How about you?
Your Portal Master
UPDATE: His name might be Fright Rider.

Skylanders Giants: Fire Giant
Hello fellow Portal Masters,
I know, lots of information today, but I just wanna fill up the blog with all the infos I found, so that you will have a better overview on what's going on.
So, without further waste of time, let's meet the new Fire Giant.
(source: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/523614_10151035318463623_69578307_n.jpg)
He is pretty... gigantic ;)
Well, to be honest, he seems a little close in design to eruptor for my taste, but i want to wait to see him in action before getting an opinion.
How do you like our Fire Giant?
Your Portal Master
UPDATE: His name might be Hot Head.

Skylanders Giants: New Water Skylander
Hello Portal Masters,
Since I already shared the info about the new Fire Skylander today, why not look at his counterpart the new Water Skylander!
(source: http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/s720x720/523614_10151035318463623_69578307_n.jpg)
And lucky us, although there has been no name or other information have been spoiled, we already got a sneak peak at the toy:
(source: http://www.darkspyro.net/images/giants/array.jpg)
I have to say, the artwork totally changed my thoughts on the character. When I saw the toy, I imagined it to be a girly Ice Skater Elf with weapons, no it looks more like a Space Knight!
I'm intesested in seeing him/her (I now think it will be a him) in action!
See you next time!
Your
Portal Master
UPDATE: The name of the Skylander might be "Chill". If this is confirmed I will do a new update.
An based on this new pic, she is a girl.
