Probably my biggest regret is that they don't have a different attack than their "normal" versions. It would emphasize their independence from the originals, but it's hard to say. Or have the alternative of using them as actually helpers with real functionality (not just running around characters). And I'm proud of my miniatures, especially Breeze.
Okay but to be fair...the Mini giants probably have the bigger versatility because guess what? They still do the same damage as a giant(i think) and have the same radius...SOOOOO im just saying! Smaller target + Same strength attack = Mini Giants nuzlocke
I think the minis partially contributed to trap team selling less. So many figures that year probably overwhelmed consumers. Just look at how bloated and confusing the poster is compared to every other game.
@@frogmouth2 I agree. Probably everyone who bought Trap Team only invested in the Trap Masters and Traps, since they're the most useful things in the game. Cores can't even unlock gates now, it sucks. Swap Force did this much better. You only really needed them for the 8 movement zones. For gates, you could just play 2 Skylanders with another controller, and some gates still only needed 1 element.
Minis are just glorified variants with unique animations and low health, to put it lightly. I think Toys for Bob knew that, considering there are reports that, during development of Trap Team, they’d pretty much only work on the Minis in their free time. I feel like they’d be way more worth it if they offered a genuine alternative to their regular version? Maybe let Eye-Small’s eye zoom around at high speed while his body has to stay still? Maybe Pet-Vac’s small size compresses the air from his gun and makes it stronger, but he can’t hold as much air. Give Bop an infinite roll but only let him summon one rock wall. Let Trigger Snappy’s guns go out absolutely nuts but his machine gun is slower to compensate. Don’t let Drobit spam his lasers and give that to the bladegears instead. I don’t care if it makes them worse, it makes them DIFFERENT. Their names are pretty good though.
I cannot make up my obbsesion with having skylanders when i was a kid i wanted them so bad that i managed to get every single sidekick/mini along with most of the skylanders up until imaginators where my parents just didn’t have enough money to buy as many as they used too. I have like 2 massive bins full to the brim with skylanders.
A bizarre detail, but they have mentioned a Skylands miniverse exist, where everything is smaller. It’s weird to think there’s also miniature Villians in that universe most likely
i played all my skylander sgame on 3DS as a kid, and my parents would always buy me the minis for my trap team game (favoirte) i think i had drobit, bop, small fry, tree rex, and gill runt as minis, funnly enough the only one i still have is gill runt. love ya mom ❤
I can agree that the mini skylanders being so little (pun) the to table but in my opinion at least I do like them design wise. It makes the designs of the characters look really fun and cute to look at, just a shame they didn’t get their own unique mini wow pow to make them feel a bit more different than just “make the series 1 and giants smol”
OK I wont lie I kinda like the mini more as fun little skylanders but with that this is something I read the minis were not planned by toys for bob it came as request of activision they had to go back and redo some of the code of the sidekicks that were made as minis but I think they are fun but it kinda would have been neat if they got their own special attack just as something extra
Hey I think there’s a typo in the video title. It says “pointless” when it’s supposed to say “perfect” (I just love these little guys so much they’re so cute, but that’s just my opinion)
The minis just look funny for me that makes them the best Skylanders ever made
Real
so true!!

A-HA! You're not fooling ME. This was just an excuse to brag about owning Breeze!..... And I am, in fact, jealous of it.
@@Rob123abcwasdupdownleftright even if I didn't have she, it wouldn't not change anything. I would rather writen that she is so hard to buy.
I literally just beat the entirety of trap team without dying once using only Barkley and determination
Hell yes
Minis seemed to exist as a "budget" offering. Smaller Skylanders sold in cheaper bundles for families on a budget or kids with pocket change.
Dude they costed $16 for the two pack

Tree Rex is my favorite character. I have a Baby Version of him. 10/10 existing
Birdo always makes things funnier, I love the interactions between you 2. I'm surprised I found Trigger Snappy for a $1 tbh
The only purpose i see for them is that the mini giants "handle" better and have better hit boxes but idk. Love your style of videos mate!
Damn, I never actually thought about that

To give credit where credit is due, I would never be caught dead playing as eruptor or jet vac, but weeruptor and pet vac at least look funny.

Well thats true tho and also why theres a skylander name "FUCK IMAGINATORS" 💀
I would sell my bed to bring skylanders back…I mean my frame!
They're not pointless! They look cute on my shelf. Thats all I need.
I feel like these could have gotten their own game.
OMG YOUR SOOO UNDERATED i really love your skylander videos keep up the good work
The minis feast on my most blatent weakness, cuter, smaller versions of things that are easily collectable
I feel like if they made the giant minis just regular skylandar size more people would buy them
That might be the reason they were given away with codes in chip packets
I always wanted them as a kid…
This video is worth $11.51 at least, they’re scamming you out here!
I didn't even know these things existed until this video.
I saw trigger snappy in a book once, dont know where it is now
Same stats, smaller hitbox, there is no downside

Playing as the minis is a bit worse than playing the originals, since they're weaker. They do make the harder difficulties more challenging.
Justin Jefferson didn't create the griddy. Barkely the skylander did

Of course the only mini I'm interested in is $130
I’m thinking skylanders should pets similar to sidekicks and minis pets like Sparx the dragonfly are magic items
Only one I care for is Bop.
Idunno where to get a Bash.
nice tech sentinel
I remember!
I call them babies and they're cute AF
W content.

We got the same name and character
Ok, but in that case, what is the most Pointfull Skylander?
MINIS ARE THE BEST DROBIT IS MY FAVORITE
The minis are actually better than the Giants if I'm not mistaken.
screw making a comment related to the video:
celebrate miitopia music :)
They should’ve got rid of the minis and instead make a more other series reposed
Please make a swap force battle mode video
Here before it's famous l
