There are also 18 new core Skylanders who will join the fight, new mini versions of old characters as well as several reposed fan-favourites from previous adventures. First and foremost, you'll likely want to complete your collection of the eight core elements - which means nabbing yourself traps of the magic, undead, earth, fire, air and tech elements to go alongside your water and life ones. Toys to Life, Life to Toys – Players experience an exciting new level of Skylanders innovation through the Traptanium Portal, a new ring of magical energy which reverses the magic of the toys to life category by letting players bring digital characters into the physical world. A built-in audio speaker allows players to magically hear the unique voices of the villains travel from the game into the real world Trap, and vice versa. The Trap also lights up in sync with the villain speaking, adding even more magic to the experience. If you look closely, you can almost see the villain trying to escape from inside the Trap.

Once trapped, players can return the villain to Skylands as a playable character. This exciting new play pattern gives fans the option to switch between playing as a Skylander hero or a villain at any time, creating fun and unique "tag team" gameplay. Skylanders Trap Team is compatible with all Skylanders toys from the previous games. However, the new Skylander characters will not be compatible with the previous Skylander games unless it's a new version of a returning character.
