Are they still making these? Apparently so. Activision has announced Skylanders: Imaginators for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3, which is set for release – we think – on 14th October in Europe and 16th October in North America. The press releases aren't very clear, but we predict that approximately 12 people will read this article if we're lucky, so fact checking can f**k off.
The big thing about Imaginators is that you can swap the legs, arms, bodies, heads, and weapons of your Skylanders in order to create all-new characters. You can then store these hodge-podge heroes in physical crystal things, which presumably cost and arm and a leg. There are new Sensei toys as well, which can train your Imaginators new tricks. We're going to assume they're not cheap either.
All in all, this sequel sounds like a great way of extracting cash from the wallets of parents who should know better. A starter set will be available at launch including two Skylanders toys, a Creation Crystal, a portal, and a copy of the game. If you'd like to enjoy some actual coverage on this, then our friends at Family Gamer TV do a good job. We've embedded their video below.

With this post Sammy gets 1/6 of his readings or responses. But I'm sure I'll buy and plat this one like the 5 before it.
"Oh right"
You're so funny when I make you cover things you'd rather not bother with.
Maybe you can make a new PS rule - anything still coming out on PS3 in 2016 probably isn't worth discussing.
On topic - this looks A LOT better than Superchargers. Won't be day 1, b/c my kid always gets these for the holdiays, but this looks promising.

What's PS3?
@Gamer83 Ya know. Playstation 3. Most awkward architecture known to man, slow ass blue ray reader causing load times to fly, attack it's weak point, 599 us dollars, you can't tell me my model is slim.
...wow the more I think about it the happier I am to forget that thing existed. Which is sad after the ps2 that now sounds like a wind tunnel
@Gamer83 PS3 is the thing Japanese gamers play on while their Vita batteries recharge.
Once this series is completely finished I hate to think how many unused toys they'll be left in the world.
I love top-down brawlers, so this could get a sale out of me.....if it wasnt connected to their toys.
I mostly want to play another Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath, X-Men Legends, or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Something that maybe breaks the mold a little and adds in platforming...I dont know.
I buy Skylanders every year on Black Friday sales $39.99. The figures can be found on great sales also! You can play the full game with just the starter set and never buy another figure. Some small sections you will miss doing that but your not missing much at all. I have seen old starter sets on sale for $24 and old figures for $1.99 new.
@JohnKarnes
If you can wait on them then I say wait after a year of two, we have the starter sets at work at $10
