The Macy’s Day Parade is a family tradition in many homes across America. It certainly is one in our home. Watching the parade and seeing the balloons float by is a big thrill. This year a Skylander is joining the ranks of those iconic Macy’s thanksgiving Day balloons. This time around it will be Eruptor the Lava spewing Fire Element Skylander who will be erupting all over the parade route.

To re-create Eruptor’s smoldering physique, artists used more than 40 gallons of florescent paint and five barrels of glitter! The live broadcast of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will begin at 9 a.m. all time zones on NBC. Here is a sneak peek of the Eruptor balloon.

The more I think about it, Eruptor is one character who makes sense as a balloon. Some would say that Spyro is more the iconic character of the series but Eruptor’s design lends itself very well to being a balloon figure. He has those rounded hands and feet. The only other Skylanders that I think would make good balloons in the parade would be Pop Thorn and Wrecking Ball. But Eruptor has been with the game from the beginning and he’ll make an excellent balloon in the parade. There is more information about the parade below.

MEGA Bloks Skylanders Giants – Eruptor Battle Portal

Eruptor on his MEGA Blocks Battle Portal - Skylanders Giants

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

Eruptor is one of those hulking Skylanders figures. He’s not too fast or accurate with his attacks. He splatters hot lava everywhere and destroys those who get too close. He’s got giant club-like hands and a big body. So, in terms of movement the figure can move his arms and rotate his hands. He can also move his legs and feet. His body is one central mass, almost like an egg.

The battle portal is a series 2 portal and has the translucent red blok so that the portal lights up red when it smashes into things. The set comes with a battle bumper, key blok, hourglass blok and a fire element blok as well. The enemy included is a Frigid Chompy. The Frigid Chompy can freeze a Skylander in his tracks.

With Eruptor the Fire Element team is nearly complete. Flameslinger, Ignitor and Hot Dog have already been released and also the forthcoming Hot Head figure that is coming out with Flynn’s Rescue ship. We just need to get Sunurn and all figures will have been released.
