I ran over to Toys R Us tonight before picking up Eva. I heard that some new Skylanders Minis had been released yesterday but I was too tired to go and wait for the store to open on Sunday morning so I went to sleep instead. Luckily the figures were still there on Monday night. I think I got the last two. The ones that I didn’t have already were the Fire Element Skylanders Minis. These guys are Small Fry and Weeruptor. These have never been released before and I was excited to get them. There were also some Water Element ones Thumpling and Gill Runt but I already have two Gill Runts and one Thumpling from previous releases.
I have been going through each of my boxes of Skylanders – They are boxed by element – and leveling each character up to level 20 by playing the Kaos Challenge. So, each new figure gets to level twenty when I get them. I took both of these guys up to Level 20 right away because I am working on my Fire Element box of Skylanders. I have three boxes left to go, Fire, Life and Tech.
I also picked up two Wii U games, Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8. More on that later.
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. Right now at Gamescon in Germany fans are getting their hands on these figures to play with. I’m a bit jealous.
Fans attending Gamescom will get a special Skylanders® treat — the first hands-on opportunity to play Skylanders Trap Team with a new line of cute, pocket-sized Skylanders characters, called Skylanders Minis. Sixteen of the smallest but surprisingly powerful Skylanders are now joining the fight against Skylands’ most nefarious villains. Diminutive in stature but mighty in battle, Skylanders Minis will deliver a full Skylanders wallop as completely playable characters with upgrades and abilities, just like any other Skylanders, including the ability to trap villains.
I’ve got a couple of them to show you below. I’ll post the rest to Instagram soon. Also, I cannot confirm if the existing sidekicks will be playable in the game or not. Continue reading Skylanders News: Skylanders Mini, Playable Sidekicks in Trap Team →
