How's that mortgage doing for you
11:00 fun fact, there is an EVEN rarer version of Flocked Springtime Trigger Happy,
It comes inside an extra box, a note advertising Trap Team and a Thank you for attending the Red Carpet
The unofficial name seems to be "Red Carpet Trigger Happy"
Other than some extra goodies, the Figure is identical and comes in the normal egg-shaped packaging
(I'm also proud to say I'm lucky enough to own one)
Dang
The collector ninjas are after you, be warned
I think my favorite part about owning both a normal & a variant Skylander is having each one on the different upgrade paths.
My favorite variants were definitely the Dark, Legendary & holiday versions.
Dark Spyro's special treatment likely has to do with the fact that it is not just a color variant, its an actual canon form spyro can take (kinda like Super Saiyan) that originates in Spyro: The Eternal Night. his more physical playstyle on 3DS is probably also a reference to this, given that The Eternal Night was a beat-em-up game.
the only chase variant skylander i managed to get back in the day was crystal shortcut and i felt so lucky when i found him at my local toys r us back in the spring of 2015. unfortunately i sold all of my skylanders on ebay including my crystal shortcut. and even to this day, i really wish i didn’t do that
Wait a damn minute my mom bought me a Skylanders battground starter pack when I was four YOUR TELLING ME I HAD A CHASE VARIANT OF DOUBLE TROUBLE THIS WHOLE TIME??? #justiceforwatermelonpopthorn
“Dark Spyro was the only alt deco Skylanders to be made during Spyro’s Adventure.”
Legendary Spyro, Bash, Chop Chop, and Trigger Happy: Are we jokes to you?
As someone who missed the Toys to Life era in gaming I find this stuff fascinating. Not that I'm young per-say, I just didn't get any of this stuff. Probably won't get any of this stuff myself, but I'm glad I could learn about this stuff.
i just found your comment by accident lol
@@BlueEeveeLike everyone else?
@@eetueella you wouldn't get it😎
I relate
My family never bought games because we were broke so it was something I would look up sometimes but now as an adult I iust bought skylanders giants and I'm watching these videos
4:07 just got reminded of my dad driving round to every store and we would look for skylanders. An evening and night out for my younger self. Oddly great times. Just nice.
Not sure how we’d do the same thing now without it being a panic for finding a present or something. Maybe make a game out of it? Hmmm.
Purple metallic Wrecking Ball I feel like encapsulates him being magic really well
2:17 The SuperChargers don't count as reposes since they all have different movesets.
I’d say they still count, they have very similar movesets and they kind of remind me of the same characters on the opposite path, same idea, different powers
@@CalebCarmichael14 Yeah no, different moveset means different Skylander
They may be the same character but most function completely differently
@@s_cabbageso 3ds SSA dark Spyro is a brand new Skylander
@ignightors Not really... The two are mostly identical, with Dark Spyro having a different color, effects, and catchphrase. I see him as half new
well if you use a superchargers character in an earlier game they act as the normal versions of them, if i put sharkshooter terrafin in Giants he'd count as a regular terrafin
I haven’t even gotten past the intro, but the Blue Bash one absolutely killed me! May as well have narrated what happened to me all those years ago! 😂
To be far, Dark Spyro is also a character in the Spyro series, specifically the “Legends of” series. This may be the resign, but the design of SL Dark Spyro and Legends Dark Spyro are different so maybe not? Also DS isn't a different character, it's Spyro when he uses too much of the Dark energy stiff in the game, basically like him going to the dark side for a moment lol
Basically season 2 of "Skylanders Academy" on Netflix?
Never watched SLA, so maybe?
@@captain_duelist_cat4324 he was best in S3E11 Split
I never played Skylander and I never knew it was all this complex :0
It truly isn't complex reposes do not qualify as a variant, superchargers are not variants because they have completely new moveset and considered their own Skylander, and I wouldn't call lightcore Skylanders a variant but all they do is light up and they are in a different pose
@@YourGuyThatMainsGogetait is complex in Terms of the world Bilding Back Story of the Characters and for it's time the gameplay was complex too
Dark Spyro was the first variant my family found, we found him in Tesco as a single pack. I remember thinking that we struck gold
5:49 me and my friends always used to call 'spring time trigger happy' 'gay pride trigger happy' because we were dumb kids who thought that was funny.
i had legendary bash as a kid, didn't even know it was a special version of him, was the only version of him i ever saw.
When I first started collecting I didn’t know the SCL shop existed, and I thought Amazon would be a good place to buy Skylanders. I was very wrong
I’m happy another RUclipsr I know that knows Skylanders, this is fun to learn all the variations of every Skylander, as I’d love Skylanders and my recent one was a variant. My favourite is Pop Fizz, and yes my recent variant is Red Pop Fizz.
Also I’ve seen your previous Skylanders that was also interesting and intriguing as well
I had a chase variant but I gave it to a friend.
Also, even if I live in Europe, I' ve never seen any of the "Europe exclusive" things. Like dark spyro in a separate box, never seen that.
1:35 “Why are you blue?” -Mikeoberg to Bashe Pinkman.
I got the chase variant of Wash Buckler at 6:36 (aparently called Colorshift Wash Buckler) when I was young, definitely before Trap Team came out, and I did NOT play Swap Force past the first stage because I didn't like having him. I'm pretty sure it was because I thought it was a dud that wasn't colored at "The Skylanders Factory", but I'm more sure I would have hated & not used anything that wasn't the standard version (minus the reposes. I'd need to play the dudes in the new games somehow)
I went to a car boot a while back and actually picked up an unboxed purple metallic wrecking ball for £5.. This was AFTER imaginators too.
I wouldn’t really call reposes variants, but this video is very good and it looks like you spent a lot of time on it
That’s because they’re not.
Technically speaking, the games class them as variants
ah yes, shiny pokemon but not quite
Agreed, and dark Skylanders are the Skylanders version of Shadow Pokémon
the in-game variants that i own are
Dark Spyro, Punch Pop Fizz, Scarlet Ninjini, Enchanted Hoot Loop, Nitro Freeze Blade, Dark Snap Shot, Jade Flashwing & Legendary Trigger Happy (though technically also Outlaw Brawl & Chain)
and i have 1 Chase Variant
the Easter Bunny Earth Trap
Me: loves and wants any and all Skylanders in existence
Also my poor arse: can only afford Lightcore Hex as the only special variant (and it is cool as hell but still rip)
FINALLY ANOTHER SKYLANDERS VIDEO YEEEEEEEAH
I got an out of box E3 hot streak, and I plan to sell it when I reach senior year.
Have you already sold it?
4:43 no he wasn't there were 4 legendary in-game variants:Spyro, Chop Chop, Bash, and Trigger Happy
i liked the new comedy that's kind of like scott the woz
I have a love hate relationship with blue bash, i love him because my mom was just out and about one day and she knew blue was my favorite color and bash was one of my favorite skylanders, i was so exited to play as bash but he was blue because i had dark spyro and the legendarys so i knew some looked different in game than usual i ran down the stairs placed him on the portal........and then i found out what getting catfished was like. And then i fell for it again with pumpkin eyebrawl
I remember buying pumpkin eye-brawl with my own money growing up, taking it home all excited only to be upset when he was just normal eye-brawl, but with a pumpkin head irl. Needless to say it was my first introduction to chase variants
One time when I was younger My dad and I went out Skylander hunting and I found a Dark Swashbuckler and I asked him for it since I always wanted to get a dark variant, but he denied since we already had Swashbuckler.
Also, do you think that maybe the chase variants were named after light core Chase from Skylander boy and girl?
I love the bb reference with the blue bash bit ;D
I'll tell you what. The one chase varient i actively searched out and bought once i found out about it was a metallic blue series 2 chop chop. It was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous and i had to get it. The bonus is there were so few of them that they were all IN BOX and the cheapest was actually just under $300.
I remember I had the holloween sensei axechop I also the dark golden queen king pen and Wolfgang for my birthday a long time ago sadly my dad sold them a couple years ago
Reposes should not be considered variants.
I got a dark spyro from my cousin but he didn’t have a head so I got a legendary spyro to replace him and I realy want the purple fireballs on the legendary one bc it feels weird now
Imagine seeing but skiping the chase variant in a store because it looked different
the blood boiling rage i felt after seeing every single rare variant i lost to my family ; _ ;
(i had easter miniruptor, dark spyro, jacko eyebrawl, some other darks, legendary robo gun finger man, blue bash, and punch pop fizz)
I actually own an E3 Hot Streak. I don't know how I got my hands on it let alone buy it for my collection, but it's pretty cool.
3:26 STAT CHANGES? WHICH CHARACTER?
Legendarys and nitros I think
I bought some nfcs now i can play as knight mare and knight light yippeee
I sadly got out of skylanders halfway through swap force and now I regret it. Now I wish I had all these cool Skylanders and variants that had released in the later games as well. I know it probably won't but I do hope that Skylanders comes back and maybe I can get some characters I missed through reposes. Do miss some of the swap force figures I never got though as they were my favorite gimmick
Hold up, where is this man finding skylanders in 2023?!?!
My favorite variant is probably Legendary Lightcore Chill and my first ever stand alone skylander so there might be some bias there
I actually got a single pack dark spyro and he was my first skylander even before i got the game
5:38 I got the alt Ninjini and I didnt knew until a few years ago, when I researched this Topic, and Boy does the standard looks bad
DARK SPYRO GOES HARD AS HELL
my favourite type of varient is definitely legendary, mainly because i have legendary jawbreaker and when i use him in superchargers he just looks amazing
I want crystal wham shell soo badly since he's my favorite skylander ever 😭
As one of the lucky few who snagged series one dark spyro on a single pack, I love me some variants
Never cared for the chase variants. But I do like the dark and legendary variants a lot. But I always felt like they ruined my collection in a weird way like "oh now I have 2 but ones a weird color"
I don’t get why people don’t like the variants. I don’t own too many Skylanders, but a lot of characters that I have are variant only
Example being that I have Dark Wildfire but I don’t have Wildfire, I have Legendary Night Shift and Legendary Free Ranger but not the original of either, and I have Jade Fire Kraken but not Fire Kraken. It has never bothered me, and I like them more than the original
ITS A SHINY
I don't know how, but the dark spyro drawing in the thumbnail being so cool. Does anyone have a link to this??
“Dark Spyro is the only alt-deco in Spyro’s Adventure.”
No he isn’t. There were 4 others. You even show one of them later in the video.
I wish we knew exactly how rare each 1 is, like how many gold chop chop exist
I got enchanted HootLoop and the Xmas Lobstar
Finally someone that likes wrecking ball
Dark spyro was the first alternative anything they made and programed. The idea is that they'd all have a different effect like the purple fire, but they got lazy and time crunch for something that most people wouldn't notice/care. Most general fans. 3DS version may be an earlier or later idea with the new moveset. I think earlier even though I think it was released later.
Did not expect Matt to be here lol
Good video man, I’m a couple months late lol
I actually have a Crystal Clear stealth elf going for at most 425.00 rn. Found it at a Walmart just out of the blue with a Red Drill Sergeant as well. The box is a little damaged from moving outa state so that’ll affect the price a bit but idc I really like the figure
Yes another skylanders video
I was surprised. I actualy got this little blue treetrex and I got it on a sale. So I have the special variant of a special variant and and and 😂😂😂😂😂
21:15 so chaos?
Video about a figure with a paint pigment a bit brighter lore:
What's your opinion on item figure chase variants/in game decos like the platinum treasure chest or the golden dragonfire canon? What about the chase variant of traps? I know it would have been hard but I would have loved if they made the villains you trapped into that in game deco like Legendary bone chompy or something like that.
I own that exact same green apple Jolly rancher coloured xbox exclusive gillgrunt
My fav skylander is sunburn
I never knew figures had to be that complicated
What about template template the 17th swapper
7:34 really? Show proof PLEASE!
This guy is underrated
Bro how can I cop the mikonaut skylander?
Im still tryna collect all the skylanders variants
Dark spitfire is my favorite skylander
landskyers
True fans know that Dark Spyro is from The Legend of Spyro series, hence the special treatment.
for me sidekiks are magic item
Ik they aren’t really a variant but no mention of the yawn traps is weird
bro skylanders are so cool and I collect them but IT'S SUCH A EXPENSIVE HOBBY😅
Thank goodness I really don't care to collect chase variants, I would have become crazy as heck
Well... There's only one I want of chase variant, and it's stone Whirlwind
I wouldn't count reposes as variants
They are tho. The definition for variant is "a form or version of something that differs in some respect from other forms of the same thing or from a standard."
Omg more skeleton funny Skyler white video!?!??
1:08
I have 601 hot streak from my ps4 starter pack, must have been a mistake 🤷
Il take it
how much ??????
I have a few legendaries and a nitro
hell yea
the nostalga?
les go skylanders
Okay but what about Disney infinity lol
Cheesebunger
What about Jet Vac, his series 2 and 3 are considered reposes but they look different in game with the black armour in the series 2 and the red armour in the series 3. Could they also be considered alt decal skylanders. Also the same goes for ninja stealth elf.
Hmm.
Cool :)
wooo
It’s pronounced deck o, not deek o.
Mikeonut you sound just like saltydkdan
