My Skylanders theory worked!

PkmnMstr · 10-24-2012, 09:35 PM

So Skylanders Giants recently released and among them were the new Lightcore Skylanders that light up when placed on the portal of power. I thought that Lightcore Prism Break was easily the coolest and had the best light up feature.
I kinda wanted it, but as I don't have the game/portal of power, I couldn't light it up.

That got me thinking. When they released the Fusion switch with the Big Ring, people showed the O Scanner lighting up the ring. So I thought I'd take my scanner to Toys R Us and try it on the Skylanders because it seemed to use similar scanning technology. I had some doubts, but then I saw some faint glowing and got really excited. It actually worked really well. It was dim in package because it needs to be closer to the scanner.

Scanner off:

That's actually pretty cool.

Yeah, toys and household appliances tend to give off radio waves within a very set range of frequencies, so it's no wonder that an OOO scanner would work with this. I might go out and grab one of those Skylanders figures just to try it with something like a remote controlled car transmitter or something.

Do Wizard rings light up on Skylander portals, then?

Great, now when I eventually buy Giants I'm gonna think <Skylander name> PLEASE when I put them on the portal.
Also I kinda wish the 3DS Portal would start saying Shabadoobie Touch Henshin when activated and awaiting a Skylander...

That's a good question. I have no portal, nor wizard rings, so I couldn't find out. I can say that the portal doesn't recognize Core medals as anything though.

And LOL, Wizard style Skylanders portal. That would be sweet.
