With the acquisition of Activision by Microsoft where could the series go next?
What are your thoughts on the Skylanders Series?

more like Whylanders
Cooper Carter
For me it's Voodood
Andrew Fisher
Only the first game had some soul
Everything else after was just made to rush out shitty toys year after year
Tbh it doesn't need to go anywhere, maybe a remake of the first 2 games with every character being unlockable without figurines but that's about it
Jayden Morgan
First two games had a lot of soul, Out of all the toys to life games skylanders did it the best
Everything after that was just complete shlock that skewed even younger than the first two games did, shame because Swap force had the coolest figures
Jeremiah Nguyen
Honestly? Keep the portal gimmick dead but use some of the more iconic characters and reboot the series. The games weren’t amazing gameplay wise but if they made a simple action platformer game with a roster of like, 20 or so characters I think it could be something decent.
The most sane answer would be to just kill the series forever but I think a gimickless reboot could be interesting as well.
Also, Gill Grunt bros please rise
Robert Martin
Skylanders reboot
All the fan favorites return
No longer uses NFC figures and portals
now every skylander is a blockchain NFT
Jaxon Peterson
make it moba shit
Adrian Adams
I wish characters had more fucking moves
3 moves feels way too shit
Honestly 20 iconic skylanders with full-blown movesets would be cool
Ayden Ortiz
Microsoft should just kill WoW and make the original concept of the Spyro's Kingdom MMO
Nicholas Parker
Gill Grunt's fighting style always stuck with me.
Everyone's doing wacky cartoon violence and magic while Gill Grunt is out here shooting dudes with weaponized fire hose of scalding hot water before skewering them with harpoons
Nicholas Hernandez
I think it's actually pretty good and I really wouldn't mind seeing the setting of Skylanders in a mainline Spyro game, including a decent amount of characters from Skylanders such as Kaos.
A lot of people look at Skylanders and assume it only used Spyro's name to catapult itself which is funny because one of the main characters is a balloonist, the exact same kind of Balloonist seen in the very first game. This isn't even acknowledging the similarly structured narrative, similarly fantastical locations or similar level design, the only things that have changed are things that can be removed without any problems such as Spyro taking a backseat in the story and locking other playable characters behind purchasable figurines.
This is only talking about the first game, there's also stuff to enjoy about Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team, etc.
Jacob Howard
The game should have been about combat and not shitty puzzles tb h
Jack Turner
Kaos has fought Spyro more times than Ripto
Josiah Jackson
Chop Chop is a very awesome design. Shame the series fell off after 2, was a big part of my childhood.
Brandon Parker
>11 years
>Not much porn
Honestly that's pretty strange considering how popular it was.
>It's a game for little kids
That has literally never stopped anyone before, in fact that makes it much more likely to have porn in the first place.
Bentley Anderson
To add to this, a lot of Skylanders would work well as other playable characters in the same vein as Sheila, Bentley and Agent 9.
Julian Scott
Surprisingly decent games honestly (haven't played Imaginators however) but the figurine stuff being a soft paywall - particularly in Trap Team - brings them down a bit. A remaster of the first game or two that digitises all the characters and doesn't require real-life currency to buy them would be nice but it'll never happen. Realistically, the series is probably dead in the water right now even with the acquisition, but a proper reboot down the line would be nice.
Always had a soft spot for him alongside Drill Sergeant and later Enigma.
Anthony Ortiz
I regret selling my skylanders figures... to fucking gamestop nonetheless.
Easton Cox
SA/Giants>Superchargers>imaginators>trap team>swap force
Wyatt Brooks
I went all in on the original Skylanders, skipped Giants, then got Swap Force which was very meh and killed my future engagement with the series. Were any of the games afterwards (and Giants) any decent?
Trigger Happy and Vodood are the best
Isaac Myers
>He didn't hold onto his Skylanders
Shame on you user
Mason James
A neat idea that unfortunately saturated it's own market and fucked everything up.
Jaxon Collins
omg Gill Grunt was my fucking dog back when I only had the three pack.
Cameron Brooks
A Skylanders Moba would be very fun.
League of Legends kinda ripped off Skylanders considering how close Kled's design is to Fright Rider.
Ayden Martin

Ayden Diaz

Jace Rodriguez
Since Microsoft owns the Skylanders series now I guess we can have Master Chief and Banjo as Skylanders now
Jordan Kelly
I never liked the art style of this game. It’s very ugly.
Asher Stewart
>Swap force that low
Wtf it was the best one, although I skipped TT and Imaginators, got tired of the gimmicks.
Based, all these are favorites including picrel
Trap Team had the shittiest designs in general.
Tyler Green
It's a shame Fire Dragon was recolored to be Spyro during development, if they went through with making Spyro King we could've just had a classic Young Spyro as a Skylander
David Watson
Post your favorite Skylander

Wyatt Nelson
I didn't play Imaginators, but for me it was SA > SuperChargers > Giants > Swap force > Trap Team
William Cooper
Zap was always my favorite because he was the first one i got besides the ones that came with the game and in the beginning it was impossible to find skylanders in stock. His sliding move was fun too
Lucas Howard
Giants is a good sequel in that it improves on what the original did, Trap Team is the series low point, Super Chargers is underrated and Imaginators is the series' death march knowing full well that it was the last game while also lacking the utter finality Super Chargers had.

seems they petered out in my area at least a year ago, i've been scouring the savers and 2 goodwills for the last 3 years and got no figures to show for it
Ryan Miller
Which Skylanders are rare?
Luis Diaz
i still idolize the way that they gave every character unique movesets and stat loadouts despite them all sharing the same control scheme
that's dedication to variety
Brody Taylor

Eli Hill
It's way more than most games would do theses days, only a couple of buttons but they all play pretty differently, even characters with similar play styles all have their own little quirks.
I love Dino Rang and the way you could control your Boomerangs with an upgrade.
Lots of love and care for what basically adds up to a beat em up.
Jaxson Sullivan
I made some terrible financial decisions as a lad and now i'm reminded of those terrible decisions whenever i open my closet. I dropped it after swap force when I realized that truth.
Dylan Morales
Using my abilities of detection and being a crippled loser on Yea Forums entirely too much the suspicious frequency of these threads on a specific subsection of a franchise lately you're gauging interest and what people like and dislike about the game series on the task of market research.
Settle down on gimmicks to get people to buy more toys and really nail down that Gauntlet 4 Kidzzz gameplay. You've got a decently solid core for a game but the toys to life thing honestly gets in the way.
Tyler Stewart
Sorry, I dont play games meant for preschool kids.
William Bennett
>It's real
If they're paying someone to do the research, I hope they don't just ignore it all. They have some great characters locked behind the IP so it'd be nice to see a good game come out of it. If it's just mediocre, nobody is going to care.
Daniel Miller
We got some nice figurines from the Toys 2 Life Craze, now we're just left with Funko Pops
Cooper Rogers
Nintendo finally hired that man in SuperChargers, they fucking nailed it with DK and Bowser
Elijah Evans
Miniature?
You mean the baby ones?
I think I have a baby Robot dragon one, probably not rare at all
Lucas Walker
Did Toys 4 Bob botch it with Crash 4?
Dylan Flores
I never got a chance to get Camo ;__;
They never had them in stock
I had to wait until Swap Force to get Warnado
