🎮 Skylanders – Frequently asked questions about figures, portals & games

Skylanders figures are interactive playable figures that are transferred into the video game via a portal. Each figure contains a chip with individual data such as level, experience points, and unlocked abilities.

Yes, used figures function normally in the game. They have been tested and are fully functional. Saved progress (e.g., levels or abilities) is usually retained.

In many Skylanders games (e.g., Trap Team, Swap Force), you can reset figures in the game menu. However, this isn't possible for all figures. In particular, resetting is n't possible for Creation Crystals or Traps .

The main games are:

• Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
• Skylanders: Giants
• Skylanders: Swap Force
• Skylanders: Trap Team
• Skylanders: SuperChargers
• Skylanders: Imaginators

Each game comes with its own characters, portals, and special features.

Partially. Newer games are often backward compatible and support older figures. Conversely, newer figures usually do n't work in older games. It always depends on the game and the figure.

For each game you need:

• the appropriate Skylanders game (disc or download)
• a compatible portal
• at least one Skylanders figure
  

Additionally, for certain games, you'll need Traps (for Trap Team) or Creation Crystals (for Imaginators).

A Creation Crystal is used in the game "Imaginators" to create a custom Skylander character. The created character is permanently saved on the crystal. Resetting or overwriting is not possible in the game.

Traps are used in Trap Team to capture enemies in the game. Each trap belongs to an element (e.g., life, water, magic) and can be used by villains of that element.

A typical starter set contains:

• the game
• a portal
• two to three figures
