Skylanders Swap Force Happy Meals


Photo-A-Day #3275

I received a box of fun McDonald’s Skylanders Swap Force Toys. There are 8 new toys from Skylanders Swap Force which includes characters like: Free Ranger, Wash Buckler, Rattle Shake, Magna Charge and Freeze Blade, Eruptor, Prism Break and a Chompie. They are pretty fun looking characters and they each have a little gimmick.

The program will be running from March 28 to April 24th. Also inside each package is a coupon for $10 off the Skylanders SWAP Force Starter Pack and $1 off a Skylanders character.

Eruptor and Prism Break both light up. Free Ranger spins like a top. Wash Buckler moves in a crazy way. The Chompie opens and closes its mouth and Rattle Shake, Freeze Blade and Magna charge have projectiles that fly out when you push on them, they are not spring loaded but rather fly when kids push on the end of the projectiles.

My favorite of the set is Rattle Shake. He looks great and even has a flying snake projectile.

The Ice King


Photo-A-Day #3274

I have a few Safari Ltd. dragons. Two of them are brand new and will be reviewed soon. I went out today to take a few photos of all three of the dragons. I was only able to get some good ones of the Ice Dragon because we are covered in ice here still. I went to Target and found some snow piles and positioned the dragon on them to take shots. It was so cold and the wind was bitter. I took a few shots, got back in the car, took a few more until I got this one. I really liked the icicle cave below the dragon.
