Skylanders: Giants Megabloks First Look [CLOSED]

As cheap and shiny looking as most Megabloks product, unfortunately. I'm guessing that we were looking at hand-painted prototypes in the first teaser images previously, since they had a much flatter surface finish.

I'm also not a fan of their penchant for including elements that are somewhat compatible with the system but don't match the aesthetic of the building blocks (LEGO, of course, is *much* better at this, although they've been giving in a lot more lately).

On the other hand: CHOMPIES!

I'm sure we'll have these in the house, just not sure they'll be integrated into the LEGO collection.

While they may not be the highest quality, I remember playing with Pokemon toys as a kid that looked worse than these. And hey, if it means I can have poseable toys of some characters, I might buy those ones at least.

I like them a lot. Too bad you need to buy them separately and they aren't what we're made with the game. Might still buy it though, provided they all come in one big set. If it costs $100+ to buy everything, forget it.

New vehicle. Just realised, but that looks like a new vehicle. Looks Arkeyan to me, so... Enemy vehicle, or pilot-able vehicle?

#22 Posted: 01:52:31 17/09/2012
Ummmmm....................... REALLY??

Very excited about this overall.

Chompies - Awesome. Why aren't they green?

Spyro, rad.

Turret cannon thing? one quick section of the game gets a whole buildable toy?

What in the world is the helicopter thing?

My kids will not 'get' the troll bot thing. Not sure exactly which enemies I would have preferred. I was / am hoping for scenery and toys that do things like throw boulders or have parts that show their powers.

Yeah i can't see them doing that, which is probably why Megabloks got them in the first place.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and try them out once they get released. I really don't care for Megabloks compared to Legos, so I guess we'll see.

Funny thing is in Cynder's Heroic you have to kill one to advance.

Here's a link to a video and a little more information about the Troll Walker and Tree Rex set. The video is a review by the same guy that's in the OP picture, and trust me, he is just as creepy in the video as he is in the picture. lol.

Pfft! They must use a template for their pages. The included Amazon link goes nowhere.

Interesting that there will be codes and a web site just for the Megabloks sets. Seems like they're really trying to keep the play concepts introduced in the video games.

but anyway not fond of where megablox is going with their designs of figuresIremember the Dragons fire and ice days when their toys were actually pretty cool. the blocks themsilves were pretty lame but everyone bought them for the figures which was where megablox really shone.

now all they are is a third rate lego impersonator. quite sad really.

I do like the sheep though. I wonder if they could be bought in bulk.
