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.

V I thought they were just hidden villains that you had to go into areas like Trap Master Elemental gates and Traptanium areas, and maybe, if this is real, Mini areas, like you need mini's, such as to walk through little doors a regular skylanders couldn't fit into
Guys, what if the rest of the unknown villains are returning villains?
"Funny Bone hails from the funniest place in the land of the Undead, Punch Line Island. The isle is home to the Eternal Chuckling Trees that magically make everyone laugh when the breeze tickles them. Once the evil Count Moneybone heard the stories of the Eternal Chuckling Trees, he sent his minions to see if the magic could be used to construct a Funny Bomb. One day, Funny Bone saw the invaders arriving with large axes, and knew the trees were in danger. He sprang into action and fended off the minions, driving them from his humorous home. Funny Bone was made part of the Trap Team as a reward for his quick thinking and bravery and now guards Skylands against foes."
