Activision has announced Skylanders Giants, a follow-up to their popular Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. The toy/game hybrid will be shown-off first at the North American International Toy Fair in booths 3151 and 3251 at the Javits Center in New York City from February 12-15.
"Skylanders Spyro's Adventure's success in 2011 validated an exciting idea-that with the right technology, and the creative minds to support it with engaging characters and story, we could define a new model for children's play," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "Skylanders Giants marks the evolution of this core concept. We've got super-sized figures, remarkably cool new characters that light up, as if by magic, and more ways to play and explore Skylands than ever before. We're delighted to announce the title at Toy Fair 2012 and can't wait for fans to go hands-on this fall."
Skylanders Giants introduces eight new highly collectible figures that are more than twice the size of the main Skylanders cast in both figurine and in-game forms. The new figurines also light up when on the “Portal of Power.”
