"Skylanders Giants and Skylanders Spyro's Adventure offer a one-of-a-kind, dynamic play experience combining videogames with compelling storylines and fun inter-action figures that bridge the gap between the real and virtual worlds. Skylanders Spyro's Adventure quickly became a top-seller at Toys"R"Us in 2011 and the property has sustained its popularity ever since. From Australia and the U.K. to Canada and the U.S., there is significant pent-up demand for the new Skylanders Giants, and we're thrilled to bring this latest iteration in the series to fans around the world."- Richard Barry, Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, Toys"R"Us, Inc.
Skylanders Giants introduces sixteen new characters that build on the magic of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, including super-sized Giant Skylanders with powers to match, as well as the new LightCore Skylanders that light-up in the game and in the real world as players transport them to Skylands using the Portal of Power that builds on the magic of the toys. Returning favorite characters from Skylanders Spyro's Adventure are wholly compatible with Skylanders Giants, so all stats and customizations remain intact. To help fans build their collections, Toys"R"Us will have the largest selection of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and Skylanders Giants characters available – just in time for the holiday season.
"We introduced Skylanders Spyro's Adventure just a year ago, and already the franchise has become one of the hottest properties in the world, all because of the power and magic of a simple idea: bringing your toys to life. Now we're bringing Skylanders to the next level with Skylanders Giants. Giants delivers the innovation, whimsy, quality and magic that kids of all ages expect from Skylanders. And we couldn't be prouder to be launching Skylanders Giants with a global retail partner like Toys"R"Us, the world's leading toy authority, who has believed in the franchise and given us incredible support from day one."- Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing
