11:00 fun fact, there is an EVEN rarer version of Flocked Springtime Trigger Happy, It comes inside an extra box, a note advertising Trap Team and a Thank you for attending the Red Carpet The unofficial name seems to be "Red Carpet Trigger Happy" Other than some extra goodies, the Figure is identical and comes in the normal egg-shaped packaging (I'm also proud to say I'm lucky enough to own one)

I think my favorite part about owning both a normal & a variant Skylander is having each one on the different upgrade paths. My favorite variants were definitely the Dark, Legendary & holiday versions.

To be far, Dark Spyro is also a character in the Spyro series, specifically the “Legends of” series. This may be the resign, but the design of SL Dark Spyro and Legends Dark Spyro are different so maybe not? Also DS isn't a different character, it's Spyro when he uses too much of the Dark energy stiff in the game, basically like him going to the dark side for a moment lol

I'll tell you what. The one chase varient i actively searched out and bought once i found out about it was a metallic blue series 2 chop chop. It was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and i had to get it.

I got the chase variant of Wash Buckler at 6:36 (aparently called Colorshift Wash Buckler) when I was young, definitely before Trap Team came out, and I did NOT play Swap Force past the first stage because I didn't like having him. I'm pretty sure it was because I thought it was a dud that wasn't colored at "The Skylanders Factory", but I'm more sure I would have hated & not used anything that wasn't the standard version (minus the reposes. I'd need to play the dudes in the new games somehow)

What's your opinion on item figure chase variants/in game decos like the platinum treasure chest or the golden dragonfire canon? What about the chase variant of traps? I know it would have been hard but I would have loved if they made the villains you trapped into that in game deco like Legendary bone chompy or something like that.

One time when I was younger My dad and I went out Skylander hunting and I found a Dark Swashbuckler and I asked him for it since I always wanted to get a dark variant, but he denied since we already had Swashbuckler. Also, do you think that maybe the chase variants were named after light core Chase from Skylander boy and girl?

I sadly got out of skylanders halfway through swap force and now I regret it. Now I wish I had all these cool Skylanders and variants that had released in the later games as well. I know it probably won't but I do hope that Skylanders comes back and maybe I can get some characters I missed through reposes. Do miss some of the swap force figures I never got though as they were my favorite gimmick

My favorite variant is probably Legendary Lightcore Chill and my first ever stand alone skylander so there might be some bias there

@ravenpowell9312 2 ай бұрын

Dark Spyro's special treatment likely has to do with the fact that it is not just a color variant, its an actual canon form spyro can take (kinda like Super Saiyan) that originates in Spyro: The Eternal Night. his more physical playstyle on 3DS is probably also a reference to this, given that The Eternal Night was a beat-em-up game.
