A look at Eon’s Elite Spyro and Chop Chop for Skylanders: Trap Team.

“Of all the heroic Skylanders, there are several that Master Eon depends on to lead others into battle against the forces of evil. Eon’s Elite are the selected few that have displayed courage and bravery against all odds, and are revered by their fellow Skylanders for their inspiration and unwavering commitment to defend Skylands!

Eon’s Elite are the ultimate Skylanders! These limited edition Skylanders are decorated in shiny metallic armor and are three times more powerful in-game. The Eon’s Elite Skylanders come in a special 3D lenticular diorama collector display case. Also included are a trading card and a sticker sheet.”

OOC : I’m actually excited about this! Not for these figures, but for any future ones I really like OuO

*laughs* They didn’t even TRY to make something new this year! Just the exact same toy from the first game again but “if we put the word *elite* in front of it, it will be something new!” Because dark and legendary copies weren’t enough yet! So even after they made Spyro, dark Spyro, legendary Spyro and elite spyro, people still don’t have the slightest idea they are being ripped off.

Actually, if you’re willing to pause the hate train for a sec, I might be able to shed some light on this to maybe get you to see why people might like this 😀

The Elite figurines, as you see here, are for collectors. They’re not really mean’t to be played, though I think they can be. They’re high detailed painted figurines with a metallic coat, so basically not fo the kiddies. This was a side project type of thing, not a main focus for the upcoming game. It’s more of a thing for older Skylander fans that are into collecting things (pandering to my inner Pokemon nerd, but with figurines!). As a personal side note, I’m not a fan of these two figures. They’ll be coming out with more, and I’m hoping they do some of the cooler characters like Ghost Roaster and the likes.

All the new stuff coming out is the Trap Team kind of thing, with the gems and being able to catch villains and play as them (Like Kaos). It’s also key to remember; this is a game geared toward kids, not people like me who are older and a kid at heart. I’d possibly agree that I’m being ripped off, but hey, I work for the money I spend like an adult, I’m free to choose what I do with my money without judgement. While I don’t pander to everything Skylanders, I get the things that make me enjoy myself 🙂

Skylanders is really this generations version of Pokemon, and if you are a fan of anything of the sort, you should probably stop and try to understand people instead of snickering at them. Do I like what they did with Spyro? Not in the least bit, but I had my Legends and a handful of great games. Skylanders is enjoyable, I hated it at first, but boy am I glad I gave it a chance instead of letting prejudice rule me 😉

I hope that educated ya a bit more about this, since it ruffled ur feathers so. Unpause! 

OOC : Gawd damnit I meant to post that here, oops. Oh well, point still stands!
