Toys
Of course when you think toys-to-life games the first thing that comes to mind is going to be the toys. These are the bits that will drain your wallet the most, and they are the characters you get to play as inside the very games. Let’s be clear from the start, the toys from all three games are pretty awesome. Disney Infinity 3.0 kicks things off with Star Wars figures to let fans take control of the Force (or even Sith powers) as they travel to famous locations. Skylanders Superchargers mixes things up by throwing vehicles into the mix. And LEGO Dimensions takes those painful bricks that everyone loves and builds an entirely new gameplay experience around them.
Choosing which toys you prefer is going to have to come down to preference. While they are all high quality figures and would look wonderful on any shelf/counter, they are different. Disney Infinity’s toys are just plastic statues, while Skylanders Supercharger’s vehicles have moving parts so they can be played with as normal toys when the game’s not on. But LEGO Dimensions toys and sets are actual LEGO sets that can be taken apart and put back together again however you see fit.
Who’s the Best? While each of the games plays to its own strengths very well with the toy selection, LEGO Dimensions is clearly ahead of the curve in terms of providing interactivity as well as quality toys. Having Darth Vader or a neat looking Hot Rod on your shelf is awesome, but there’s just something about the intrigue of a LEGO set that is hard to resist.
