Creating Legendary Skylanders
Photo-A-Day #4248

Today I opened my three Skylanders Imaginators Legendary Creation Crystals. These are creation crystals and comic books plus mini posters. The only thing that is not included is a set of stickers that have the battle class icons. The only set of stickers that works best are those of the light element creation crystal. I had extra and so I used those to label my creation crystals. The legendary creation crystals were for the elements of Light, Life and Magic. I would create the first one and I decided to create a Light Skylander of the Battle Class Smasher. At first I wanted a character with a sort of food themed design. I changed later to more of a rainbow raver with Doomlander gear. The video below has all three Skylanders Imaginators and you can even download them into your own Skylanders Creator app.

As an added bonus the video also details a contest. I’m giving away a 3D printed Skylander. You can enter the contest by posting your Skylander creation to Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag of #BenSparkCreator. The contest will run until December 15th.

Happy Halloween 2016

Eva and Andrew in their Halloween Costumes

We did something different for our Halloween this year. We went over to our friend’s house and went trick or treating around their neighborhood. It was so busy. That was a far cry from our neighborhood where we get maybe 40 people in the night. The kids had a great time with their friends and came home with huge buckets of candy. It reminded me of Halloween when I was a kid. I’d collect a ton of candy from all over the place. Their neighborhood was such a nice neighborhood. We left a bowl on the porch with a note to just take one. It was empty when we returned. Pretty sure it was hit the moment we got into the house. Glad we only put out half of what we had.

Andrew was excited about Halloween all day. He decided to ditch the Iron Man costume for the Skylanders Wallop Costume that we received to review. He really liked that costume. Eva, of course, is all about Harry Potter and loves her Hermione costume so much. She has been talking non stop about it and was delighted with each person who recognized her as Hermione. They both thought that my costume was a riot. I combined my Sriracha Bottle Costume with my Optimus Prime Helmet and went as “Srirachamus Prime”. Observe.

I am Srirachamis Prime. #Halloween #Transformers

Andrew and I played Skylanders after school today. We played with the Sensei Candy Coated Chopscotch as well as standard Chopscotch and we made an Undead Imaginator with a Creation Crystal. The standard Chopscotch and the Undead Creation Crystal were given to me by Activision. I bought Candy Coated Chopscotch myself on release day. Here is my video about those toys.
