Shoot to Chill


Photo-A-Day #2830

The one Skylander that Eva was most excited about for Christmas was Chill. I think this was because of a couple of reasons. Chill was one of the first new Skylanders Giants characters I heard of and when I did I told Eva all about her. We read her bio and learned all we could about her. The second reason was that she is a female character. There are not a lot of female characters in the Skylanders game but Skylanders Giants gave us a bunch of them and that made Eva very happy. Chill is a fun character and the other night Allison and I played together. She used Chill and I used Fright Rider and Pop Fizz. Chill has some fun abilities which are ice based. One ability is to create a wall of ice blocks and then to push those blocks at bad guys to attack them. She’ll get even more powerful as we continue to use her and I look forward to seeing what else she can do. Continue reading Shoot to Chill →

Top Christmas Video Game Pick: Skylanders Giants

Skylanders Giants Starter Pack for the Wii

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.
