I continue with my MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants series of reviews. I was sent a bunch of new Hero Packs to play with and review. Opinions expressed in this post and on the video are 100% my own.
Hero packs are small character packs with a single character and an enemy that is constructed from MEGA Bloks. This set is the Blue Bash Hero Pack. During Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure there was a special Translucent Blue Bash figure that was made. I collected that one and have used it in the game. MEGA Bloks created this special figure and he is translucent and blue. Bash is also battling an Arkeyan Ultron which is built out of MEGA Bloks and looks great.
I’m now building these small sets on camera, check out the video and let me know what you think.
One of the most hotly anticipated video game sequels was released on October 21. Skylanders Giants is the follow up to last year’s Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure. I played Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure last year and all throughout the year. I loved it and collected each and every Skylanders figure that I could get my hands on. There were 32 regular figures from Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure which works out to four figures from each of the eight elements (Life, Water, Undead, Fire, Air, Tech, Earth and Magic). I bought them all plus four legendary figures and a few other special ones. Now with Skylanders Giants there are 48 figures plus variants so by the time I’m done collecting this time around I’ll probably have close to 100 figures. But that is okay because I LOVE this series of games and I’m playing everything that has to do with Skylanders and Skylanders Giants. I even wrote a handy guide for people interested in the Skylanders Giants game.
Here’s how the characters break down for Skylanders Giants:
Eight brand new regular size characters, one from each element.
Eight brand new Giants figures, one from each element.
Eight Lightcore regular size characters, one from each element.
Twenty-Four regular size Series 2 Skylanders figures (characters from Skylanders: Spyro’s adventure in new poses)
4-6+ Legendary Figures
4-6+ Variant Figures
On the day of the release I bought every single figure that was released and on the next day Toys R US had a wave two preview and I bought all but two of the figures from that wave, I still cannot find Lightcore Jet Vac. A friend online actually found and bought Hot Head (Fire Element Giant) for me and tweeted to me that he got it for me, so excited for that one.
