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.
