I took Andrew for a little walk around the Attleboro Springs Wildlife Sanctuary. I was surprised to see that there were some tadpoles in the water. I thought it was way too late to see any tadpoles. As we stood there watching we saw catfish and minnows as well. Andrew had fun running all around and then climbing the Pudding Stone.

I had a fairly successful hunt for a Doctor Strange t-shirt today. I found one at Hot Topic and I also found the hot Topic exclusive Jyn Erso figure. This one is in a hoodie. I learned that the Ahsoka Tano exclusive pop was released today but my local Hot Topic didn’t receive any. I will have to take a look at their Facebook page and see when it arrives.

While I was at the mall I saw that some new Marvel character cars had been released including a Doctor Strange one. The prices were $1 more than everywhere else because that is what the collector’s places do, they jack things up. I went to Target to see if I could find some there. No Marvel Hot Wheels character cars to speak of but there was a new Star Wars one that I found, a Jawa. I’m pretty sure that I do not have one of those in my collection.

While I was at Target I walked down the video game aisle and I saw that there were the Skylanders Imaginators already on the shelves. I knew that that could not have been right. The game comes out on October 16 and if that is the case than there would be a block on being able to buying the game. I let them know, but not until I had taken photos of all the figures that I could. You can see the whole Skylanders Imaginators gallery on my Facebook Fan Page. I also made a Youtube Video about the new Skylanders Imaginators figures.

Tonight was the premiere of Arrow. Oliver is back in action but he is now working alone. He is also the mayor of Star City. Being in two places at once is something that he’s going to have to deal with if he is going to succeed. There are also some other players including a new bad guy, Tobias Church, trying to take over things in the city and also some other vigilantes. Felicity wants Oliver to recruit them but Oliver wants none of it. The whole team is scattered. Thea is out, she has found a new life and no longer wants to be a vigilante. Laurel is dead. Diggle went back to the Army. Captain Lance fell off the wagon but has found new purpose. Curtis is spending more time down in the Arrow bunker and is starting to think of his own path. The flashbacks this year are of Oliver’s time in Russia and becoming part of the Bratva. When this year is over we’ll know how and why Oliver ended up back on Lian Yu. Oliver has also made a bunch more trick arrows. The rest of my thoughts are in the video.

3D Print Your Own Skylanders Imaginators with the Skylanders Creator™ App

Skylanders Creator App Opening Screen

The biggest news ever in the world of Skylanders has been released today. With the new Skylanders™ Creator App players can create their very own fully playable 3D printed figures! In addition they can use the app to create full color, fully playable cards of their creations and full color t-shirts with their character printed on them. The cost may be a bit high ($49.99 for figure, $14.99 for card and $24.99 for t-shirt) so it is unlikely that you’ll 3D print all of your awesome creations. However, when you create something so utterly incredible in the Skylander Creator™ App you’re going to want to print at least one. The 3D printed figures say that they are limited quantities and I’m not sure exactly what that means. does it mean that at a certain point no one else can make 3D printed figures or is it that you can only make a certain number of the same figure, so that you aren’t out there trying to sell your creation. I don’t know but I do know that it is pretty cool and I definitely want to try it.

In addition to the information about the Skylanders Creator™ app there is news about another contest. There will be a Skylanders 3D Printed Contest. Starting Oct. 24, Portal Masters can win the opportunity to receive their custom 3D-printed Imaginator figure via a global Skylanders 3D-printed Imaginator contest. To participate, fans are encouraged to create an Imaginator in Skylanders Imaginators or using the Skylanders Creator app. Shared creations on social media channels using the dedicated #CreatorContest will be automatically entered to win. that is really cool and I’ll be participating for sure!

There is even more news below in the full press release plus some screen shots of the Skylanders Creator™ app and also a 3D printed figure and also a printed game card. Continue reading 3D Print Your Own Skylanders Imaginators with the Skylanders Creator™ App
