After the runaway success of Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure, Activision plans to offer more figurines and a new video game for them to come alive in. The eponymous Giants are slow and clunky, but extra tough, and they’ll be joined by new regular-size Skylanders and “Light Core” figurines, who light up as they get closer to the game’s base station. Activision will also release second edition versions of all 24 original Skylanders with new action poses, bringing the total number of figurines up to 48. If you’ve got kids, it may be time for a bigger TV stand.
