A month ago I found the Skylanders Giants sidekicks specially marked Frito-Lay packs. Today my first two sidekicks arrived in the mail. They are Eye-Small and Thumpling. These little guys run around with your character as you play Skylanders Giants. They don’t do anything, they are pretty cute though. I’m expecting Barkley and Mini Jini sometime later this week or the beginning of next week. Once they arrive I’m down to Lightcore Chill, Pop Fizz and Hex plus Series 2 Drobot to complete the series. I could look for the E3 figures from last year and this year but that will be near impossible. I’ve also been on the lookout for the Volcanic Vault that came out through Best Buy in Series 1. Maybe someday. Then there are the really, really rare figures. I’m not even going to bother, those are impossible without paying huge scalping prices.

Today I came home from picking up Eva to find that there was a package waiting for me. Inside that package was a very rare Skylanders Giant, Scarlet Ninjini! The figure is mine to keep and I have no obligations to review it, but I wanted to give you my 100% personal opinion of the figure. I was so excited because I had heard that it would not be released here until May 19th. I certainly hope that is the case and that Scarlet Ninjini isn’t just limited to the overseas market because that is where people are getting her at this time. It is good to see that she’ll be released in the US as well. I made a little video about Scarlet Ninjini.
I also took a few comparison shots as well.
As you can see Scarlet Ninjini is more of a Teal skinned figure with a red costume and dark hair with gold swords. I like the look of her very much, but I am more of a fan of her original coloring. Maybe I just like her with red hair over the dark hair. Scarlet Ninjini is a great addition to our Skylanders collection.
You can find out more about Skylanders and Skylanders Giants through social media channels and the Skylanders website. You can follow Skylanders on Twitter and on Facebook and there are fun videos on YouTube as well.
