''Skylanders: Giants'' utilizes the first game's engine by building upon the fundamentals of the first game; merging a line of cross-platform toy figures with the video game world itself. The game will introduce eight new collectible figures that are more than twice the size of the original skylanders cast in both physical and virtual form. Their in-game powers and abilities reflect their colossal scale.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=646775|title=Skylanders Giants™ Revealed at the 2012 American International Toy Fair|author=|publisher=Activision}}</ref> It will also include a set of characters that feature new light technology integrated into the toys, allowing the figure to light up when near or on the "Portal of Power".{{Clarify|date=February 2012}} These characters have additional in-game benefits as well.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=646775|title=Skylanders Giants™ Revealed at the 2012 American International Toy Fair|author=|publisher=Activision}}</ref> Players will also be able to import characters and their progress from the first game.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://investor.activision.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=646775|title=Skylanders Giants™ Revealed at the 2012 American International Toy Fair|author=|publisher=Activision}}</ref> |
