Skylanders: Giants vs Skylanders: Trap Team

Skylanders: Giants is the 2012 direct sequel to Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, blending physical toy collectibles with video game action. Players place real-world action figures onto the Portal of Power to bring them to life in the fantasy adventure. Featuring brand new characters known as Giants who are twice the physical size of regular Skylanders, the game introduces expanded gameplay mechanics, puzzles, and enemies. Developed by Toys for Bob and published by Activision, it continues the beloved action RPG and hack-and-slash franchise experience.

Join the Portal Masters as Kaos shatters the Cloudcracker Prison, scattering Traptanium shards and releasing the most notorious villains across Skylands. Use powerful Traptanium Traps to capture these foes and turn them into allies for your quest. Explore vibrant worlds, solve puzzles, and engage in fast‑paced combat across multiple platforms, all while collecting physical Skylander figures that bring the action to life.
