Me with the Skylanders Imaginators

I have followed Skylanders ever since Spyro’s Adventure. Now, with the sixth iteration of the game in six years I can say that I’m still as excited to play as I was on day one. Skylanders Imaginators is headed to consoles everywhere on October 16 in North America. I will certainly be all over that game when it arrives. I just got confirmation of my upcoming review copy of the game and can’t wait to play it. Actually I did get to play a little at Sweet Suite last month. It was awesome! I was able to build a new character and play it. I was also able to play with and hold a bunch of the Sensei characters including Crash Bandicoot.

Some of my favorite new Senseis.

What I didn’t know then was that Kaos was going to be made into a Sensei and he would become a playable character! That is something that portal masters have been wanting for a while. We kind had that with Trap Team but it was limited. Now with Skylanders Imaginators Kaos is free to roam wherever and he’s is super powerful. If you pre-order and purchase the Skylanders Imaginators starter pack you can get a FREE Kaos figure (while supplies last). That is great news.KAOS in Skylanders Imaginators

However, Kaos is not the only Super Villain who is becoming a Sensei for Skylanders Imaginators. Crash Bandicoot’s arch-nemesis, Dr. Neo Cortex is also coming to the game. Additionally, Skylanders Imaginators will feature an all-new dedicated Crash Bandicoot level called Thumpin’ Wumpa Islands! This level is steeped in nostalgic Crash Bandicoot gameplay, including the classic TNT boxes, crabs, hazards, temple ruins, Wumpa Fruit, exploding fruit and more. This level will be available on the PS3 and PS4 starter packs at launch and will be released in a special Adventure Pack for all platforms later this year.

Toy Review: Hanging Loose with Talk-To-Me Mikey

We received a Talk-to-Me Mikey for free to play with and provide an honest review. Opinions are 100% our own.

Mikey is the most social of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is always talking, making jokes and being funny. That is the perfect turtle for an interactive toy. Talk-to-Me Mikey is going to keep the kids giggling over and over at his antics. With this new toy they have all sorts of things that they can do with Mikey.

Mikey can do many things. There are sensors on him that let Mikey know when he’s being shaken, on his back or spun in a circle. When you spin him he says that he is break-dancing. Then he says Electric Boogaloo and that had me cracking up. Tilting him back and he’ll tell you that he can see up your nose. When you shake him over and over he says other things that are also funny.

We had a lot of fun playing and talking with Talk-to-Me Mikey. Asking him questions and having him sing songs was the best. I loved his songs, they were hilarious. You can see the whole video below and after that the official description of the toy.
