New Skylanders Minis – Fire Elements


Photo-A-Day #3531

I ran over to Toys R Us tonight before picking up Eva. I heard that some new Skylanders Minis had been released yesterday but I was too tired to go and wait for the store to open on Sunday morning so I went to sleep instead. Luckily the figures were still there on Monday night. I think I got the last two. The ones that I didn’t have already were the Fire Element Skylanders Minis. These guys are Small Fry and Weeruptor. These have never been released before and I was excited to get them. There were also some Water Element ones Thumpling and Gill Runt but I already have two Gill Runts and one Thumpling from previous releases.

I have been going through each of my boxes of Skylanders – They are boxed by element – and leveling each character up to level 20 by playing the Kaos Challenge. So, each new figure gets to level twenty when I get them. I took both of these guys up to Level 20 right away because I am working on my Fire Element box of Skylanders. I have three boxes left to go, Fire, Life and Tech.

I also picked up two Wii U games, Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8. More on that later.

Skylanders Sidekicks Eye-Small and Thumpling Arrived Today

A month ago I found the Skylanders Giants sidekicks specially marked Frito-Lay packs. Today my first two sidekicks arrived in the mail. They are Eye-Small and Thumpling. These little guys run around with your character as you play Skylanders Giants. They don’t do anything, they are pretty cute though. I’m expecting Barkley and Mini Jini sometime later this week or the beginning of next week. Once they arrive I’m down to Lightcore Chill, Pop Fizz and Hex plus Series 2 Drobot to complete the series. I could look for the E3 figures from last year and this year but that will be near impossible. I’ve also been on the lookout for the Volcanic Vault that came out through Best Buy in Series 1. Maybe someday. Then there are the really, really rare figures. I’m not even going to bother, those are impossible without paying huge scalping prices.
