“You are my idol”

I’ve always loved the Spyro franchise. Even in the worst of times -coughenterthedragonflycoughcough- and the best of times. My first video game ever was Spyro 2 Ripto’s Rage, which I play all the time even now. I’ve filled all my save files to over %100 on both the disc and digital download on my ps3. Needless to say I absolutely love the original Spyro. If I could I’d collect a bunch of the old figures and plushies but alas I don’t have the money for it. Even still I absolutely love the plushie I DO have and I’m more than happy to just play the games over and over.
Skylander Spyro -I refer to him affectionately as Skyro- has stolen a new place in my heart. Since the LoS series was created Spyro had gotten a whole new personality. While it wasn’t at all bad and it fit the world/atmosphere I kinda missed the spunky attitude of my favorite purple dragon. Even if I did miss it I could still just play the old games but ya know :p.

Anyway! When Skylanders was announced and I seen the trailers for it, just hearing Spyro’s voice and seeing him in action made me grin. He had his spunky, if not more badass personality back. Sure the game is easier and leans more towards young children but I just can’t help but love and enjoy the game. I love the character designs, the backgrounds, the colors, and the over all goofy and happy atmosphere of the games. They remind me a lot of the original three, just dumbed down a tad -which is alright!-.

I love the new Spyro cause he represents, to me, how the original Spyro was. Sure he’s not a main character but he’s still iconic and still there. You can play the games as just Spyro to MAKE it a Spyro game. That’s what I love about it. The power of choice. You can go through the game as one character, or all of them. It’s up to you.

I got a little personal there! Anyway, this image is a big representation of how I feel about these two loveable scalebutts. You can buy it on Redbubble here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/azulj/works/15623933-you-are-my-idol?p=t-shirt&ref=work_main_nav
