Sadly it doesn't work like that. The figure works on an NFC/RFID much likely like the Smash figurines. For the consoles your figure must remain on the console portal at all times for the progress to be saved, the exception for the 3DS is that, the data is temporarily saved to the game and the progress is only recorded when you tap the figurine again and write the data to it. Plus I hear the max level for each figurine is 10.is there a i could get some skylander saves? really want to pay those games but i dont want to get the toys
