Talk:Skylanders/Figures

About merging this page to any other
As the starter of this page, I'd like to at least make clear what my objectives were in making it: I hope this helps avoid any confusion, at least as to what my goal is. Jarie Suicune (talk) 14:11, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) A complete and organized listing of all Figures (not just the Skylanders themselves, but also Vehicles, Magic Items, and Traps) as well as each of their Variants.
 * 2) Helpful details about any differences between Variants (as I haven't found any other site that has everything in one place and complete and clear, especially surprising on the Skylanders Wiki, I believed this would be the next best place to have this info).
 * 3) *These two points being quite useful for both general collectors who want to truly "catch them all", as well as players like myself who are super-new to the series and want to make sure to not waste money buying any figures they don't actually want. Knowing what the differences are and how they work in-game in advance is a majorly needed thing for this.
 * 4) Explain the differences in how different figures do/can interact with the various games, including Portal differences
 * Oh, and as such I think it should be a separate page, as it is not about the series in general, but providing information specifically about the figures themselves, which can be easily linked to from any other Skylanders pages. Jarie Suicune (talk) 14:17, 30 March 2016 (UTC)


 * In order to fit the scope of this site, point #3 has to be the priority, with points #1 and #2 being ancillary to the third, and only provided to fulfill the mission stated in point #3.  Pro  cyon  15:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)


 * In that case, there should be no problem? If you look at the listing, those that I've finished adding show that that's exactly what's happening. I wasn't sure how to list everything best, so it is a bit choppy looking I guess, but the point of indicating the variants and what that difference is should be easy to see. To check, is there a complaint on this that I am missing? Jarie Suicune (talk) 15:05, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * As far as I understood, skylanders were essentially figurines which you could connect to specific games. Where do these other things appear?  Are the vehicles/traps real world objects, or do they only show up within specific games? -- Prod (talk) 15:13, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * What I'd suggest is you make the main page an index, which links to all the skylanders pages for each game.  That way all the game-specific guides have complete information within them, and the index page doesn't turn into a guide on its own. -- Prod (talk) 15:31, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
 * All Skylanders figures work on every sequel Skylanders game. So functionally, a list of figures that work with SuperChargers (the latest game) is no different than a list of all the figures. Basically, if you break the list down for each game, you have just the same list copied 5 times but with less figures listed each time. Since it's this far along, a single complete list that explains how they all work for each given game in the series is far more efficient. Jarie Suicune (talk) 15:53, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
