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.

I don't like the kids either, but not because of jealousy but because of how annoying they are. I read people's comments on their videos and some of them were like: "you're the best channel ever.", "You are the biggest skylander fans on earth."... I mean seriously, how old are those people, 5? They scream too much about ONE figure (I wonder what the neighbours are thinking). Also, they get skylanders without even moving their hand, they won't even get skylanders for christmas because they got it so early. Their dad seems to teach them that you can get everything without even doing something for it, well then, good luck with begging for money. The mother is the only normal person in their house, she isn't half as crazy about skylanders as her kids and husband are. And probably the worst part is: the songs. Seriously, who's going to pay for a song that features kids under the age of 10?
After all they're just spoiled brats that get to much attention.

And back in giants, when they got the smilie in the mail, Mike was like "This is our first Skylanders in two days." smilie Seriously kid, I don't often get Skylanders for weeks at a time. They piss me off smilie

And the channel, I feel, is more about the dad than it is about the kids.

I agree. I honestly feel their account combines 2 things that don't mix, Comedy and Unboxing's. Both are great but I feel together are annoying. They are also spoiled to the point where I and many others are trying to win a rigged contest for a High Five or QuickDraw Rattle Shake and they get one a scream over it. Oh yea did I mention how LOULD their videos are! They SCREAM over a character and it's so loud that it hurts my ears. The group is also annoying. The dad is just trying to act all hip and cool and it sounds like generic dialogue anyone trying to be cool would say. The kids are loud and believe me even with the massive collection they still act like young kids. I haven't seen any vids with the mom but she sounds like the best person on their account. And it's cool to see a mom/ female play skylanders. Their music is horrible and I hate how I'm always recommended to their videos because I watch better youtubers like 1ofwiisdom, Crystalblazer, and Skylanders Game.

Overall I feel they would be great people off YouTube but on YouTube they are annoying as heck and they are spoiled rotten when I'm (A HUGE High Five fan) trying to get him they get him and most likely go to the next character after their done with him. I feel their the PewDePie of Skylanders.

I don't hate them but I think they are as overrated as PewDePie.

I like the look of the new traps.

It's just a shame they didn't make an exclusive trap for each of the elements rather than just Light and Dark.

Does anyone else see a similarity between Nightshade and Flynn?

It's also nice to see i'm not the only one that finds the Skylander Dad and his kids annoying, what is the point of that channel anyway?

Are there more traps planned for Light and Dark or is this it, because i was wondering whether Luminous and Nightshade can be captured.

Does anyone in the UK know if the Kaos trap ever arrived here?

I like there vids sometimes (depending on what their about) but some of their vids are strange like with the lobster he should have known she didn't like it.

No one needs to like their videos but you don't have to be cruel about it. I don't like their videos too much but I don't really care if they're spoiled or not just because they get Skylanders early. They deserve them just as much as everyone else and plus it's Activation that give it to them early. Don't blame anyone but them.

Eh, the skykids are WAY too overrated for my tastes, and the dad is acting like a try-hard.
