Skylanders Happy Meal Box 2

I looks like I’m going to be scouring the local McDonalds stores to make sure I collect all nine of the new Skylanders toys that will be appearing in Happy Meals from April 12- May 2. This is the first-ever partnership between McDonald’s and Activision. The Figures that will be part of this promotion are Spyro, Gill Grunt, Drobot, Chop Chop, Ignitor, Jet-Vac, Tree Rex, Crusher and Kaos. And for the first time ever the figures will have dexterity in their limbs. Some possibility. While they are not playable in the game at all they are fun toys to have and to collect for any portal master. They can be purchased as part of the Skylanders themed Happy Meals or if kids aren’t hungry, Portal Masters of all sizes can head over to their local McD’s and pick up soon-to-be hottest toys around for just $1!

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.
