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
Thanks to everyone who threw ideas my way it's much appreciated.
I've put the list of outstanding Skylanders on my guest book, so as soon as they're filled i'll post the full list.
oops ftw
Here's a picture of mirror of mystery in box
On amazon.de it says that , , , and are going to come out on the release date in europe (10.10)
And Hawkmongus IS Tae Keon Crow. That's confusing
We've seen the characters, too. Knight Light is a white bird man with a Traptanium Feathersword, Spotlight is a white dragon that can shoot lasers and halos, Knight Mare is a black centaur with a big Traptanium sword, and Blackout is a black dragon that can teleport and has a big horn on his nose.
Thanks everyone for your help
I've made a start on it, but it will take a while because there will be a lot of characters to fit in so bear with me.
I'll post the list on my page somewhere hopefully with the beginning of the fic so you have an idea where i'm going with it.
So the elements are light and dark. Dark variants don't really work, though...
Also, I'm up to Hawkmongus in Chapter 15. Have everything from Wave 1 Available in Australia. Except:
- Jawbreaker (have legendary)
- Wildfire (have dark)
- All minis (own gill runt before the game, so I have one
- Nitro Krypt King (not available yet)
Also, I have found these Unknown villains:
- Eye Scream
-Eye Five
- Fisticuffs
- Lob Goblin (Nightmare Express)
- Blaster-Tron
- Hawkmongus
Nightmare Express has Lob Goblin and Trolling Thunder
Mirror of Mystery looks to have Chompy and Mad Lobs.
