Along with the normal and large-sized Skylanders toys, over the past year or so Activision and Toys For Bob have been releasing these ridiculously cute little promo figures that acted as cosmetic pets in games like last year’s Swap Force. In this year’s Trap Team, they’re fully playable and fully freaking adorable.
During my Skylanders: Trap Team demo last week, I got to see some of the 16 old and new Skylanders Minis in action. In game, these cute little bastards are about half the size of normal characters, zipping about the screen just as fast as their tiny little legs can carry them. The once cosmetic characters now get full skill trees and earn levels just like their bigger brethren.
Barkley here is the only mini I currently own, having acquired him solely for the purpose of completing an in-game achievement last year. He shall soon have many, many friends. Skylanders Minis will be sold in packs of two when Skylanders: Trap Team launches this October.
Oh look, screenshots. There shall be squee-ing.

That’s awesome news! We got a bunch of them last year for preordering Swapforce from EB, they did us a deal and gave us all 4 instead of 1 of them because my son begged them lol. Was tops of them. Can’t wait to get all these guys now, the toys of them are awesome!
Awesome, I’ve only got Gill Runt and Trigger Snappy, now I’ll be able to complete the set, didn’t really want to pay the exorbitant Ebay prices.
Fucking *oath*. The prices people are asking for them was bloody horrendous. Same as Ghost Roaster from the first series, it’s disgusting what people think we’ll pay. Screw that joke. I hope they release a new version of him. :\
Yeah, I was lucky enough to pick him up from mightyape I think, just as they were running out of stock.
Dawwww he’s the only one Liams missing from series 1 to make his set complete 🙁 Just not willing to pay 100+ for him lol
Awwwwwe 🙂 as an adult i try to hide the fact that i love skylanders… but this is just to cute. dear god that baby Jet Vac is amazing 🙂
