Skylanders Imaginators!

About Skylanders Imaginators:
The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as Mind Magic to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine. However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused. After discovering this ancient secrete, Kaos has unleashed the power of Mind Magic into Skylands once again - and he is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders, the likes of which have never been seen! Now it's up to Portal Masters to create Skylanders Imaginators from their own imagination to stop Kaos and his evil Doomlanders before it is too late. And to help train them, Eon is sending the greatest mystic warriors of all time - the Senseis!
Skylanders: Imaginators supports the 300+ character toys from all previous Skylanders games that kids can enjoy in the real world and in the virtual game world. When players add new Skylanders to their collection, they expand their in-game experiences.

Create your own Skylander

For the first time, their imaginations to life and create their own Skylanders, called Skylanders Imaginators. With endless creation options of powers, abilities, catchphrases, appearance and much more, kids can build their very own creations out of their imaginations, or use the randomize feature to allow the game to choose parts for them.

Creation Crystal

Skylanders Imaginators introduces a new toy type - a Creation Crystal. This vessel allows players to create and transport their unique Skylanders to consoles at anytime, anywhere! Creation Crystals are elementally aligned. Portal Masters can create one character per Creation Crystal.

Meet the Senseis

The Skylanders franchise continues to offer engaging characters that kids love to discover as they play the game. Skylanders: Imaginators will introduce new guest stars to Skylanders called Senseis to fans. Senseis include 20 new characters and 11 former villains. Each Sensei is a master of one of 10 powerful Battle Classes (e.g. Knight, Sorcerer, Brawler, and more).
Being the master of these Battle Classes, only Senseis have the ability to unleash Sky-Chi - the ultimate Battle Class super move. Sensei Skylanders have a master-to-apprentice relationship with newly created Imaginator Skylanders. This is supported in-game through the Sensei unlocking of unique Imaginator weapons, the increase of Imaginator level caps, providing access to special areas in the game, as well as the unlocking of new Secret Techniques for Imaginators of the same class.

New Storyline and Gameplay

Skylanders: Imaginators features an all-new adventure-filled, comedic and charming story with fun new characters, as well as returning franchise favorites. The game delivers a diverse and dynamic story-driven gameplay experience, focused on the magic of sparking imagination, inspiration, and excitement of kids as they create their own superheroes - all set within a variety of compelling new environments. Additionally, Skylanders Imaginators will support local co-op multiplayer. Players can place two Creation Crystals or two toys or a combination of the Crystals and toys on the Portal of Power to maximize the fun!

Returning Core Characters

Skylanders Imaginators also will feature fan-favorite characters who make an appearance in both the storyline of the game - and the upcoming Skylanders Academy television series! These characters include SpyroStealth ElfEruptor, and Jet-Vac.

Villain Senseis

My take on Skylanders Imaginators:
Skylanders Imaginators is the sixth series of Skylanders. I feel that the game is getting a bit more boring since it keeps on repeating itself - Kaos will never die! Adding on to that, even though there are only about 30 skylanders to collect, each skylander is now priced at SGD$22.20 on Target.com. $22 for a skylander is way to high to pay for a skylander. Moreover, we need to also buy creation crystals of other elements (those not given in the starter pack) in order to create our own skylanders in the game. The Skylanders series is getting a little to old and thus it is not worth it to buy this series if you have played the previous games. However, since I'm a hardcore collector, I may buy Skylanders Imaginations figures for the sake of fun and collection.
