Mugglemom Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm having trouble figuring out which Spyro's are compatible with the Giants portal. Does anyone know if which are, and how can you tell???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lusha121 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 and can we reverse that question, are giants compatible with original portal and game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFQueenofNY Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The Giants characters on the front lower right hand side have small symbols that state whether they work on one or both systems. I believe the same symbol is on the originals as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziligirl54 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The bigger characters (the actual giants) are not compatible with the old game. The characters that are light core characters are not compatible with the old game. The old characters do work on the new game. There is a little green check mark & red x on the package to let you know if its compatible with both or just the new giants game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjuvers Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 and can we reverse that question, are giants compatible with original portal and game?yes the portal is compatible. You can buy the whole version or the "portal owners" version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugglemom Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 Okay, so I'll just have to look at the packages to be sure. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbobb Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 There are 4 kinds of characters between Skylanders and Skylanders Giants. The first are all Series 1 characters, with the Skylanders logo (no Giants). All of these Series 1 figures should work with both games. Next are the Giants, part of Series 2, the Skylander Giants game. These will only work with Skylander Giants. Third are the normal size figures with the Giants logo on their card. Many of these are resculpts of Series 1 characters, and will work with both games. Each element comes with a new figure that does not appear in Series 1, and these ONLY work with the Giants game. Finally, there are normal size figures from Giants that have Lightcore added to their package. These cost more than the regular normal sized figures, and they will only work with the Giants game. All figures will work with any portal, so you can play Giants with your Skylanders' portal, including the Lightcore figures (but not in the Skylanders game, only in Giants). It gets a little confusing, but each package does say pretty clearly which game a figure works with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
