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.

Skylanders Trap Team
Developed by Toys for Bob, creators of the Toys-to-Life™ phenomenon, Skylanders Trap Team reverses the magic of its signature play pattern — letting kids take villains out of the digital world and transport them into the physical world, where they are captured in magical Traps — bringing both Toys-to-Life and life to toys. Fans can then play as both heroes and villains who join the forces of good in an all-new adventure.
