Skylanders SuperChargers go Dark at SDCC

DarkEditionArt

I have been seeing news coming out of San Diego Comic-Con about Skylanders and I am excited. My wallet, not so much. While I figured that maybe because there were only 20 vehicles and 20 superchargers this time about I would be saved some extra spending, not so. Just announced was the Skylanders SuperChargers Dark Editions. This in addition to the Skylanders Superchargers regular editions plus the ones that feature Donkey Kong and Bowser, well we are talking many starter packs to purchase in order to collect all the characters. It is quite crazy. But, I like it! I am a diehard Skylanders fan and it is killing me not to be at San Diego Comic-Con right now playing the game with the new Dark figures including Dark versions of Donkey Kong and Bowser.

Skylanders Superchargers Dark Wii Edition with Dark Bowser

The Dark Edition for the Wii has Dark Bowser and Dark Clown Cruiser along with Dark Spitfire, Dark Hot Streak and the Kaos Trophy which unlocks special Kaos content.

Skylanders Superchargers Dark Wii U Edition with Dark Donkey Kong

The Dark Edition for the Wii U has Dark Donkey Kong and Dark Barrel Blaster along with Dark Spitfire, Dark Hot Streak and the Kaos Trophy which unlocks special Kaos content.

Not only will there be dark versions of characters there were be more of the Eon’s Elite figures. These are stronger super powered figures that last year were repaints of eight popular Skylanders characters. This time around however the characters chosen will be remolded and will include some of those characters who have never been reposed or rereleased including Voodood, Zook, Slam Bam, Ghost Roaster, Boomer and Dino-Rang, Other than Slam Bam and Zook these guys have not been seen since Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure! I’m excited to add them to my Eon’s Elite Roster.

Two Amazing Transformers Sets at SDCC

At San Diego Comic-Con this year, Hasbro has two crazy-incredible Transformers sets that will be SDCC Exclusives. There will be a Dinobots set using the molds from the current movie but the colors from the G1 characters. There will also be one of the most unique and interesting sets ever called the Knights of Unicron that depicts Optimus Prime as the lead singer of an 80’s hair band that also includes Megatron, Soundwave and Jazz. The band is on the “Till All Are One” Tour. There is even a tour booklet and a the set comes in a Roadie case with stickers and tour posters. Below I have photos of all the toys in both vehicle/dinosaur mode and robot mode plus a couple extra goodies.
