Story
The story and background for the new types of toys is as detailed below:
In Skylanders Trap Team, Kaos continues his ongoing quest to rule over Skylands. He has discovered the location of the legendary Cloudcracker Prison -- a fortress built entirely out of the magical substance Traptanium and home to Skylands' most nefarious baddies. In an attempt to build his own army of foes, Kaos blows up the prison, releasing the most wanted villains and blasting shards of Traptanium to Earth in the form of Traps. Now it's up to Portal Masters to recapture all of the escaped villains using powerful Traptanium Traps and defeat Kaos before it's too late!
Characters
All pre-existing figures work with Trap Team but of course there is a whole slew of new toys to collect. First to note are the 18 new Trap Masters, Trap Masters are a larger Skylander toy that wields a translucent "Traptanium" weapon and has an advantage when fighting the capturable villains. 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.
Here are pictures of all of the so far revealed brand new Skylanders:

To help differentiate between the old and new sets, the base of the Skylanders for Skylanders Trap Team is coloured red instead of the green/orange/blue currently seen on the Spyro's Adventure, Giants and SWAP Force toys.
Traps
Another new toy added with Trap Team is the Trap. These translucent crystals are made of Traptanium and are essential for capturing the various villains. Each Trap is a specific element and allows you to capture villains that match that element.

Comments

V He probably meant January 2012. That's when I got SSA.



everyone on the list above+sidekicks
This is why I think so(this is only based off of giants and swap force because I got ssa in Jan.2011 and I thought skylanders was dumb back then) in wave 1 they always had a number between 1/3 and 1/2 of the character selection and also every year they add 5 characters in wave one giants had 18 swap force had 23 and my guess is they will have 28 in trap team witch is the amount of characters on the list above.



just wondering


I think;
The Starter Packs
Gearshift but only if you Pre-order her.
Wildfire (He was one of the first Trap Masters Reveled and is in the dark starter)
Krypt King
Wallop
Gusto (He is in the 3DS starter)
Blades (In his adventure pack because there is probably be one in Wave 1)
Chopper (He was the first non-starter core to be revealed)
Funny Bone (He was shown when STT was revealed)
Torch
And maybe the winner of the voting contest.
I can't say much about reposes because we don't know much about them but Tidal Wave Gill Grunt will probably because he is the only teased repose.
I also think Jawbreaker will be in Wave 2 as well as Bushwhack
These are probably the most educated guesses but I could be wrong.




Popfizz69, I believe you.
