MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants – Molten Hot Dog Battle Portal

Hot Dog on his MEGA Blocks Battle Portal - Skylanders Giants

I was sent the MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants Molten Hot Dog Battle Portal to play with and review. Opinions are, as always, 100% my own.

Hot Dog was one of those highly sought after figures. He came out in a special battle pack and then later a variant edition called Molten Hot Dog. This particular set features Molten Hot Dog. There is a Series 3 Battle Portal coming out soon with Hot Dog who is more red. This set comes with a red fire imp as the enemy. There is also a battle bumper, hourglass blok, key blok and elemental blok.

The battle portal is a series two portal. Because Hot Dog is a Fire Element character the portal has red translucent blok on it so that when it crashes it lights up red. Hot Dog is very well done. The sculpt looks wonderful and Molten Hot Dog’s head moves, so does his legs and fiery tail.
