Skylanders is a cute and friendly game about little cartoon figures who come to life and save their world from an evil wizard who is also Invader Zim. Oh yeah, and there’s something about buying toy statues that unlock parts of the game so if you want to play the whole game, you gotta ca–, er, buy them all. Now, Skylanders is gearing up to release Skylanders Giants, with bigger, more expensive toys to rip from the store shelves in a frothing madness. Check out the article for an image gallery and video of Giants in action. Joystiq has the story.
Hopefully these Giants will be poseable action figures you can pull off their display stand and play with like proper toys. At least that will probably be worth their price. Have you seen how much these Skylanders figures sell for in stores? Or worse, on eBay? It’s stunning.
