He Shoots, He Spores – Lightcore ShroomBoom


Photo-A-Day #2847

I popped into Target today and on the shelf they had a Lightcore ShroomBoom figure. This was one of the Wave three Skylanders Figures that we did not have. I’ve been hunting down every released figure so far and have been very successful, in fact the rest of this week will probably be a Skylanders themed week because I have a couple of ordered figures on the way. They will join with Lightcore ShrooomBoom to take on Kaos.

I played this figure for a bit (Leveled him through all the available Heroic Challenges) and also upgraded many of his powers. He’s a fun character to play and has many goofy sayings. I suspect that he is voiced by Billy West but have not been able to confirm this. IMDB has no info on this and I cannot find the confirmation anywhere but he sounds so much like Billy West’s character, Fry, in Futurama. I’m still looking for confirmation on that one.

One week from right now Skylanders Giants will be released in North America. I can not wait for this title to be released and I am always on the lookout for new Skylanders information. The other day I was in Target and saw that there was some signage for the upcoming game and I noticed something that I did not know. Target has an exclusive CRUSHER character, it is a Granite Crusher. I have not seen the figure anywhere online but this was the first I had heard about this exclusive figure.

The Wave 1 list of characters is below plus a few more goodies. Continue reading Skylanders Giants is one week away in North America!
