Debut trailer for "Skylanders Swap Force" | Bangkok Post: tech

The first look at this year's new range of "Skylanders" toy and video game hybrid, "Skylanders: Swap Force," shows how the 16-figure range can split in two, resulting in 256 character combinations.

That swapability means that pirate octopus Wash Buckler can become Stink Buckler or Wash Zone; uni-wheeled Magna Charge can be reformed as Freeze Charge or Magna Shift; fiery knight Blast Bomb ends up as Blast Blade or Blast Buckler.

Even evil bad guys might find themselves wearing a ballerina's tutu or waddling like a duck.

The video game and toy range is due to emerge in Fall 2013.

Meanwhile, Disney has responded to Activision's "Skylanders" success with the "Disney Infinity" line, which co-opts stars from Disney and Pixar films in a similar manner.
