o Unique Swap Force Zones: Skylanders SWAP Force characters feature traversal abilities – such as flying, climbing, digging, bouncing, or teleporting – each of which can be explored in new areas of Skylands that are centered on these new play mechanics.

o Enhanced Graphics Quality: Swap Force’s high-resolution graphics bring to life amazingly detailed characters and richer environments to deliver a high level of visual fidelity that immerses players in the game like never before.

Hag asked me to ask if they would ever consider a game where ‘Chaos’ is the main character and all the figures are bad guys?

Guha Bala said this was a very creative idea and it had been metioned before – anything is possible with Skylanders.

Hag was pleased enough with the answer – maybe we’ll see this game sooner rather than later the speed Skylanders are being release.

Special gift for the boys: A limited edition ‘Chop Chop’ figure from the nice people of Activision
