Happy (Early) Halloween!

And it's very fitting this time of year that I got my hands on Grim Creeper!

There's a place finally that happens to be a lot closer to home than usual (about 30 minutes away) that has some used Skylanders figures! Unfortunately they seem to be closing down in January of 2025, so I guess my goal has shifted from saving for the Yootooz to trying to get as many figures from this closer place as possible. I think there is a mild flaw in my logic... But the thing is this place has great prices! Every mini is $5... hehe...

I'm going to New York soon too! I wonder if they'll have any Skylanders there...

Skylander Youtooz Announcement!

    Somebody on Youtooz staff had told of Skylanders Youtooz coming out in early 2025! Just two days ago on a Reddit Youtooz AMA, a staff member was asked about Skylanders, in which they mentioned some coming out in early 2025, quote ‘Skylanders will come out early next year :]’ end quote. In the past Youtooz has had Spyro figures and merch with the Skylanders tag maybe slapped onto a few promotional posts about these, but I am hoping that we will get new non-Spyro Skylanders merch coming up past the new year. Is it gonna be figures? Plushies? Something else? Either way I’m already saving up and ready to blow as much money as possible on getting everything! I can’t even describe how excited I am in text, the most accurate representation I suppose would be:

“DHBSJHDUOHYQ*(DY/YW&YEIUNYIDIUWZY*(NYU#*(YRM(*Y” (<--That’s what I sound like right now)

And here's to me actually saving money!... I'm not very good with money...

The screenshots revealing the info

I was never a big Youtooz person but man am I glad that it isn't Funko! Their beady souless eyes...

I'm back! And so is Toys for Bob!

 Wow look at that! September already? Well I'm back in school again (For my last year too!) and with that Toys for Bob's site is finally back up! Well what did they do exactly? It's really just a site revamp...

And- wait what's that... A new game coming up? Waiting with bated breath to see what they do end up revealing... No matter what it is I'll most likely be happy and probably be first in line to buy it, love you guys Toys for Bob! Unless it's COD since I don't play games like that too often...

Toys for Bob is also celebrating Spyro Community Day! The image of Astrobot with Spyro makes me really happy, hehe... Happy Spyro Day to everyone reading this post too!

Grave Clobber

I just really like Grave Clobber

 

Various MS Paint doodles

A few days ago I took some Microsoft Paint doodle requests for Skylanders alongside a few I just made for myself. So this post is to dump my various doodles of random characters. 

It feels like christmas morning!

Wow, it's sure been a while since my last haul post huh? I've been occasionally acquiring more Skylanders for a few months but nothing I've deemed enough to post about so far, until yesterday at least...

So here's a post compiling a while of a few more Skylanders!

The earliest one here is the Red Drill Sergeant who I got at a yard sale I think in May? I call him Fruit Gummy Drill Sergeant instead of Red since red it is a bit boring. Speaking of fruit gummies I miss the old Skylanders fruit gummies...

Next is the group of Swap Force characters on the right, purchased off of ebay with some money I got from an online survey. Night Shift, Free Ranger, Legendary Zoo Lou, and the Tower of Time. Now I can 100% Swap Force too! I was missing a spin swapper for the longest time. And the Tower of Time too.

Next is the case on the left which I actually got for free yesterday! It came with Pain-Yatta, Grave Clobber (one of my favorites!), and Dr Krankcase! There's more figures in the case + a Golden Queen that were duplicates of Skylanders that I already owned. A few more new ones I got from the case (not pictured) were Kickoff Countdown, Star Strike (I only had her lightcore), and S3 Trigger Happy, which I actually did own already but boxed, so it's nice to have a duplicate that I can display.

And with that, I have the new case up on my wall, now in charge of the important task of holding duplicates that I will probably paint or sell, or hopefully even trade-off. And now I have a quickshot sensei too! I've actually been replaying Imaginators and Swap Force, hoping to get that sweet sweet 100%, I only need the physical level packs for Imaginators and I'll be on my way! (Oh yeah, and a dark sensei...)

Whoops haven't uploaded these her but guess who's finally making Skylanders content on youtube? Hehe...

Quicksilver Vault Partnership!

Ta-da! I'm now an editor for Quicksilver Vault and I am happy to announce an official partnership!

All of my blog wiki links will be redirecting to their site now, it's currently super unfinished at the time of writing this, but I am working hard on uploading all of my assets to it and making new pages.

Why make a new site over the currently existing Fandom Wiki? Well, Fandom is becoming almost unusable with the amount of ads that are constantly shoved into everyone's faces, and it lacks some of the features that will hopefully be implemented into the Quicksilver Vault. Also it overall looks nicer and is easier to read than the Fandom site.

Thanks for your time!

My Skylanders Spending Woes

So whenever I get money, it also comes with a hard choice, to either save my money for potentially infinitely more useful items in the future, or buy more useless Skylanders merchandise. Of course, though the decision was hard (it wasn't) I have come to the conclusion that I need more useless Skylanders merchandise. So why not make a makeshift funny little merch review? Alongside this I suppose I should make a new tag...

I ordered A Spyro clock since my parents kept mentioning how I needed an alarm for the mornings. I managed to set it up properly and it works pretty well, I wish that the alarm sound was customizable or even Skylanders themed in some way, but it's a normal-sounding beeping that will gradually get faster until you wake up. The portal can glow and change colors, it turns off automatically after a few minutes. It took me a while to figure out but the alarm switch is on the back as a tiny little on/off-switch.

To everyone looking into this, there's a number on the bottom, ( Target 074100466F16973608-12/13 )

A small Skylanders keychain that I got, I think it's a flashlight of some sort since there's a little clear plastic piece with a tiny LED inside of it. But it uses these strange little circular batteries that I don't have and don't actually know what they are? But I carry it around now since the little portal can click in, similar to the 3Ds portals, though it is much much smaller than any 3Ds portal. Occasionally when I click it, sometimes it glows a faint blue for a moment, probably from the batteries left in by the previous owner.

A 3Ds case and stylus! (The case is more visible in the next photo) I like my 3Ds a lot, and I play Skylanders on it super frequently, and since I lost my previous stylus I decided that I could get a funny little Skylanders stylus to go with the case I ordered. There are multiple different 3Ds styluses actually, all with a little Skylander on top, from my memory there's also a Spyro and Terrafin stylus. The little Skylander on top bobbles around on a (pretty flimsy) spring, very cute. If only mine didn't break after two weeks... Now I have a normal stylus with Skylanders text plastered onto it and a super tiny Gill Grunt.

And here's a bit of a look at all of these things together, The Spyro clock has actually been waking me up consistently for a few days now. And again the Stylus is a bit flimsy, and the Gill Grunt snapped off... But that's okay since he fits beautifully on the tiny portal keychain at least. I also actually already owned a 3Ds case, one with spaces for game chips and accessories and everything, but this new one is also nice for simple carryability and getting bullied, 8/10 overall. Still a bit sad about Gill Grunt snapping off.

Skylanders... In the sky?!

Whoops I forgot to post here in a bit didn't I? Good news is that I have a few posts in the backlog I need to finish and I have a lot more to talk about, also I've been working on some videos in the very very back... But I have been considering a career in aviation, today I got to fly a plane, a real plane! (As a co-pilot I must note.) I took Boom Jet with me actually, and I took quite a few photos!

On the ground

In the sky for real!

All the funky control panels

Of course, I still want to pursue my career in game development, but I hope that I can be a pilot someday. And become the best pilot in all of Skylands... Boom!
