Story
The story of Skylanders Imaginators takes place long ago when the Ancients used a mysterious power known as "Mind Magic" to create everything in Skylands. With it, they conjured into existence anything that they could imagine! However, they soon learned that in the wrong hands, it could be very dangerous, and so they sealed it away so that it could never be misused. After discovering this ancient secret, Kaos has unleashed the power of "Mind Magic" into Skylands once again - and he is using it to create an unstoppable army of Doomlanders, the likes of which have never been seen! Now it's up to Portal Masters to create Skylanders Imaginators from their own imagination and stop Kaos and his evil Doomlanders before it is too late. And to help train them, Eon is sending the greatest mystic warriors of all time - the Senseis!
Characters
For new playable characters there are 20 brand new Skylander Senseis as well as 11 former villains. Along with their element each Sensei will also have a Battle Class from a list of ten: Smasher, Knight, Ninja, Bazooker, Quickshot, Sorcerer, Brawler, Sentinel, Swashbuckler, and Bowslinger.
The first set of characters to be revealed included King Pen, Golden Queen, and Tri-Tip. Here is a table containing all of the new Skylanders, click the + to see all the known variants:

Senseis
"Sensei" is the collective name for the new set of Skylanders (the villains also function as Senseis), their Battle Class determines the types of attacks and weapons they use as well as which abilities they unlock for your Imaginators. They all have a new type of super attack called Sky-Chi that slowly fills up as you defeat enemies until it reaches a point where you can unleash it on your unsuspecting foes (quite similar to the ability Trap Masters had in the 3DS version of Trap Team).
Owning a Sensei of a particular battle class will unlock a Secret Technique for your Imaginators of the same class. As well as that they will each unlock an item and a weapon for use in customisation. Senseis will also be able to access areas known as "Sensei Elemental Realms".
Creation Crystal
Included in the Starter Pack is a Fire Creation Crystal, this allows you to create and store your very own custom Fire element Skylander. To create a Skylander of a different element you'll need to purchase a Creation Crystal of that element.
Be aware that once you select a Battle Class you can not change it on that Creation Crystal ever again. So choose carefully!
Starter Pack
In the Starter Pack you get the Water Sensei Master King Pen, the Earth Villain Golden Queen, and a Fire Creation Crystal. The portal included is identical to that of the Swap Force portal (some regions instead have a modified SuperChargers Portal without a trap slot).
There is also once again a Dark Edition of the Starter Pack, it contains three Dark variant Skylanders (King Pen, Golden Queen, and Wolfgang) and three standard Creation Crystals (Fire, Life, and Dark). The pack also comes with a Gold Imaginite Mystery Chest that unlocks some gear for your Imaginators.
And there is a "Crash Edition" that is only available on PlayStation 3 and 4, it has the same contents as the regular Starter Pack plus the Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Neo Cortex toys. The characters will be available in a separately sold Adventure Pack at a later date.
Platforms
The game is only appearing on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the Wii U. That means no Wii, 3DS, or Tablet versions this year.
Comments
Sure PepperJack didn't get in and I'm really bummed on that one but regardless of what made it in or not I will still be buying every skylander in due time just because I'm that big a fan of this series and I want every character that is made for this amazing game.
I mean sure, originally I wanted
and 
as villains originally, but I am actual!y okay with the choices we got.Maybe next game will bring some more villains to be playable.
.and none of them besides the reformd ones are our friends, brothers or allies. they will try to destroy us in the first chunce they will get.
In a VV game? Yes, he could get a figure because it's VV's villain.
In a TFB game? No, because its the opposite above.
I can see Bad Juju as the air villain Sensei. Dream catcher would've been a good choice as well.
Grave Clobber for Water? Bad choice. I'm sure there were other choices better than him for Water villain Sensei, like Threatpack or Chill Bill
Gulper.
Chef Pepper Jack.
Eye Five.
Dreamcatcher.
Lob Goblin.
Cuckoo Clocker.
Broccoli Guy.
and our greatest loss
Luminous.
our brother. our friend. our ally.
gone..
but we must stay strong! we will march forwards into the coming months, with our heads held high! we WILL find the final 4 names. we WILL get confirmations of new stuff. we WILL get variants! and most importantly- WE. WILL. MAKE IT!
Come october, we will have the power of creation in our hands! We will have avenged our fallen brothers and sisters of the great villain wars. We will stand tall, and BE THE HEROES SKYLANDS DESERVES!
