As some of you may have noticed, many pics are popping up (most are from skylanders.com/gaints) that show recolored versions of certain characters.
And those are just a few! Plus, several new legendaries have been revealed, such as L. Bouncer, L. Chill, and L. Stealth Elf! I remember reading an interview with Alex Noss i believe that said he wanted to have better customizations. Perhaps he meant alternate color schemes? Or these could be limited edition specials, but that seems doubtful. I think the most likely theory is that, if two players put on two figures of the same character, one fo the characters gets a color change. So what does the community here think?
UPDATE: It has been confirmed that these will all be special recolored figures. Note that the glow-in-the-dark variations appear to not have any in-game differences, but the rest will.
