Giants is the general name of the second series of Skylanders, and the specific group name of eight characters from this series. One of the Giants resides among each of the eight elemental factions. Mega Bloks managed to create seven of these eight characters. Yes, only seven. How or why they didn't make the eighth character defies all logic. I mean, they did go ahead and make two additional variant figures. Nine figures total, and not one of them is Ninjini.
Mega Bloks, please make Ninjini!
It is my dying-bucket-list-wish that you make Ninjini. Please complete the series of eight and add this one figure. Until then, here are the others:
Water
Thumpback (95416)

Bouncer (95443)

This glow-in-the-dark figure was supposed to be a Wal-Mart exclusive variant. A regular figure was scheduled to be included in Sharpfin's Jet Boat (95301), but that obviously did not happen.

Swap-Force is the general name of the third series of Skylanders, and the specific group name of 16 characters from this series. Each of the eight elemental factions contain two Swap-Force characters. Mega Bloks created minifigures for eight of these 16 characters. Logic would suggest that they made one character from each of the eight elemental factions. Nope. Once again, logic has eluded Mega Bloks. They decided to sell us both Undead characters, both Water characters, neither Air character, and neither Earth character. Man, this kind of inattention makes me mad. That's not all. They decided to make an additional three variants among those existing figures. They made a total of 11 Swap-Force figures and managed to neglect two entire elements! This level of carelessness just makes the whole toyline look sloppy. I want to sing their praises. I want to think of Mega Bloks as an amazing, caring, and thoughtful company, but when such obvious details are neglected, it makes it really hard to do so.
Mega Bloks, I know I am already begging for Ninjini, but you really set yourself up for this one too: Please make a Swap-Force Air figure and a Swap-Force Earth figure. Pwetty pwease. You can make Blast Zone and Doom Stone. Plus, Ninjini of course. Just these three. Put them in a character pack together. It would sell like crazy, I just know it! Plus, all the collectors and fans of your toys can die happy. Until this actually happens, here are others:
