Skylanders Imaginators Senseis Review With Q&A

My kids are huge Skylanders fans. They enjoy playing with their Skylanders characters collection in both the real-world and in the virtual game. The Skylanders Imaginators are their latest obsession. Skylanders Imaginators were introduced in October 2016 and they captured kids’ imaginations like never before because they offer the ability to create their own Skylanders! With Skylanders Imaginators, kids get to use their imaginations to create and then bring their creations to life in an adventure with puzzles, battles, and a compelling storyline. The Skylanders Imaginators Senseis help train the Imaginator characters giving them new abilities. I was provided with Skylanders Imaginators Senseis in order to facilitate review.

New Skylanders Imaginators Senseis

This March also marks the debut of some of Skylanders’ most anticipated characters including the new Skylanders Imaginators Senseis: Painyatta, Grave Clobber, Crash BandicootTM, Dr. Neo Cortex, and the spring edition of Hard-Boiled Flare Wolf. My daughter got the Flare Wolf and my son got the Painyatta and they were super excited so I think they would make great Easter gifts too.

Activision is also releasing a brand-new expansion pack for the Skylanders Imaginators game. The Skylanders Imaginators Cursed Tiki Temple level pack is a first in franchise history. It takes kids on an all-new adventure as they unlock more than 100 new offerings for their Skylanders Imaginators! The pack comes with Skylanders Imaginators Sensei character Wild Storm who will unleash a new level to players, a life Creation Crystal and an Imaginite Mystery Chest.

That is not all the big news though. There is now a brand new way to play because Skylanders Imaginators is now available on the Nintendo Switch console. Skylanders has been made more portable with the arrival of the digital library. Players can load and store all their favorite characters directly to the new system!

One more thing you may want to check out- Skylanders® Academy is an all-new animated series on Netflix! I just found about this so I haven’t even told my kids yet! However, the Skylanders Academy trains the greatest young warriors from realms all across Skylands to protect the universe from evil-doers and the series follows those adventures.

Skylanders Q&A:

How many Skylanders are there?

The original Skylanders game, “Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure,” introduced around 32 playable Skylanders. Subsequent games, including “Skylanders: Giants,” “Skylanders: Swap Force,” “Skylanders: Trap Team,” “Skylanders: SuperChargers,” and “Skylanders: Imaginators,” introduced additional characters, each with unique abilities and attributes.

Throughout the series, new Skylanders were regularly introduced through expansions, special editions, and character packs, expanding the total number of available Skylanders. The franchise also includes variant versions of certain characters, further increasing the overall count.

What happened to Skylanders?

The Skylanders franchise was initially launched in 2011. It has seen a decline in new game releases and overall activity compared to its peak popularity. The Skylanders franchise gained considerable success with its innovative concept of using physical toy figures that players could “bring to life” within the video game by placing them on a special portal called the “Portal of Power.” This integration of physical toys with video gaming was a groundbreaking concept and led to the franchise’s initial success. However, over time, the popularity of the toys-to-life genre began to wane as the market became more crowded with similar concepts from other franchises.

What were a few of the most popular Skylanders characters?

The Skylanders franchise features a wide array of characters, each with unique abilities, powers, and personalities. Here are a few popular Skylanders characters:

1. Spyro the Dragon: As the iconic character from the original Spyro game series, Spyro is a beloved Skylander. His appearance in Skylanders helped bring attention to the franchise.
2. Trigger Happy: Known for his wild and enthusiastic personality, Trigger Happy is a popular Skylander. He’s a gold-loving, gun-toting gremlin who brings humor to the game.
3. Stealth Elf: A nimble and quick ninja-like character, Stealth Elf is favored by many players for her agility and combat skills.
4. Pop Fizz: This potion-throwing alchemist character is quirky and unpredictable. He changes between calm, powerful, and crazy modes in the game, making him an interesting and dynamic Skylander.
5. Hot Dog: With a fiery and playful personality, Hot Dog is a fire-breathing canine-like creature, winning fans over with his charm and unique abilities.
6. Tree Rex: A colossal and mighty Skylander, Tree Rex is a giant tree-like creature with immense strength, making him a popular choice for players who enjoy powerful characters.
7. Gill Grunt: A water-themed character armed with a harpoon gun, Gill Grunt is a fan favorite for his aquatic abilities and cool demeanor.
8. Chop Chop: A skeletal warrior armed with a sword and shield, Chop Chop is admired for his loyalty and bravery in battles.

These characters, among many others, have resonated with players due to their distinctive designs, abilities, and engaging gameplay mechanics.
