To help differentiate between the old and new sets, the base of the Skylanders for Skylanders: Giants are orange instead of the green that is seen on the bottom of the Spyro's Adventure toys. The Starter Pack was also available without the Portal of Power for those who already had one but it only had one Skylander: Tree Rex. In the Starter Pack you get three Skylanders (on console Jet-Vac, Cynder (Series 2) and Tree Rex, on 3DS Punch Pop Fizz, Cynder (Series 2) and Tree Rex), a Portal of Power, Trading Cards, a Poster, and the game. Combine that with the 37 playable toys from Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and you have a grand total of 99 different playable Skylander toys. Here are pictures of all of the Skylanders new to Skylanders Giants: LifeĪlong with the brand new Skylanders and variants there will also be new 'Series 2' poses for 24 characters from the first game (compared to the original characters they have a special 'Wow Pow' upgrade and the ability to switch paths at will - you can use these toys in the first game but you won't have access to that extra power there) and eight LightCore characters (versions of characters who light up when placed on the portal and cause a massive in-game explosion of light when they first enter) who are made up of four of the new Skylanders and four of the old (they are not Series 2 so do not have a Wow Pow - you can also use these toys in the first game but again do not have any sort of extra power).Īltogether that brings the total number of new toys to 62. This new lineup was made up of eight regular sized Skylanders and eight Giants who were about twice the size of the other characters.
