I created a Skylander!
« on: June 19, 2012, 12:53:41 PM »
So... I created a Skylander.

Seriously.

It's a Walmart exclusive 'red' Drill Sergeant.  Started arriving in store yesterday on the West Coast.

Go buy them.  :)

Honestly, I don't know exactly how much I had to do with it, but I've been talking with a guy at Home Office about Skylanders since Janurary or so.  Back in Feburary, we were discussing the Skylanders market place and I suggested another Walmart exclusive (I believe this was when Blue Bash was shown as a TRU exclusive)... One of my two suggestions was a "Red/Glittery Drill Sergeant"...  I got an email back today saying he's "my" figure...  so go buy him and support my first official actual contribution to the video game industry. ;)

I ignored the array of Blue Bash figures at TRU yesterday, but if I see this...oh man, screw you, UB. I didn't want to buy the variants...

In other news, two away from all 32. Just missing Wham-Shell and Zook.

Yeah, it's that one - except this is an All-Red variant version.

Signed by the team developing the 3DS version of Giants.  Hopefully, I've got another one coming signed by the Toys for Bob team and some of the folks at Activision. :D

And, tonight (this morning?) I finished the console version 100%.  All 32 Heroic Challenges for all 37 figures.  Everyone leveled up to level 10 with all power ups purchased.  All Hats, scrolls, treasures and soul gems found.  All accolades achieved.  3-Stars on all the levels.  And the 3DS version was 100%'d some time ago.

Great game. :D

Grats.  I am missing Wham-Shell to complete my collection.  I can't find him anywhere.  According to the game we're at 94% and I've got most the trophies except for Chaos without losing a life and defeating one of the bosses with just hydro-pump.
 
Also I have your collector one.  Should send it to you to get it signed.

Oddly enough, I've actually already signed two. ;)  More as a joke than anything though. :D

Wii version has no trophies. :(  They should have built the trophies/achievements into the accolade system on the Wii.  Given me something else to finish.
