The second game, Skylanders Giants is planned for release on 19th October in Europe. Both are platform games with fighting and puzzle elements. They have in common a set of small toy figures that provide access to the different characters and areas in the game. This works by placing a particular figure on a round portal peripheral that comes with the game, the related character then instantly appears on-screen.
Taking the figure off the portal automatically saves progress. The figures can be used in different versions of the game at friends houses regardless of the original platform -- Wii, PS3, and so on.
The first game supported 32 different toy characters and the second game will expand this with another eight large Giant Skylander figures, eight new normal Skylanders and eight lighting up Skylanders. Additionally, the original game offered limited edition gold, silver, translucent and glow-in-the-dark characters that become much sought after.
Although the total cost of all these figures is considerable they are optional in the game. Parents should note that players can complete the game with the figures in the Starter Packs. Additional toy figures are desirable because of the new characters and areas they unlock but should be treated as a nice-to-have extra.
By picking and choosing between the different Skylander characters players can access all the areas in the game by obtaining one figure for each of the eight element types. In addition to the toy figures, the first game also enabled players to purchase Adventure Packs that provided to levels to explore and complete. These packs also provided special power items and a related Skylander character.
It should be noted that the eight new characters and eight giants released for the second game are not compatible with the original Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure game. This is clearly marked on the packaging. The main part of these Skylanders games is an adventure mode. Players work through a series of chapters in this mode, which provides steady progress while telling a story about the characters they are playing with. All of the Skylanders: Imaginators figures were difficult to find, but Ro-Bow was nearly impossible to get.
Around December , rumors began to fly around the Skylanders community that a mysterious Red Camo and Crystal Clear Whirlwind had surfaced. Initially, fans could not pin down where the figures were coming from and why they were so hard to find. Over the Summer of , Skylanders released three very rare figures for the Skylanders: Giants game. Only 1, units of each figure were produced and released to various retailers.
Skylanders collectors had to hunt down these Metallic Purple variants, which now sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay. While the Skylanders series was still very popular, Activision would occasionally give employees special edition figures. These figures were also flocked with glittery white snow.
Although Activision never says how many of these limited edition figures they produce, it was estimated by Skylanders fans that around 8, Gold LightCore Prism Breaks were given out.
While employees were probably told not to sell their exclusive Gold LightCore Prism Break figures, these still pop up on eBay from time to time.
A few years after Frito-Lay did its first Sklanders promotion, the popular chip brand did it again with the Fire Bone Hot Dog giveaway. This time there were three color variants available of the same character.
