Wham Shell is so much better than Chill and besides people don't like Chill that much.

Sunburn is a lot better than the overrated Hot Dog who is NOWHERE as powerful.

Because Activision and VV said so.

Chill and Hot Dog are better in my opinion.

I think that Wham-Shell is overrated, he's my least favourite Water besides Thump(but then Water is a fantastic element).

But friggin Hot Dog! UGH!

I think they just should have remodeled each of the missing 8, that way every fan could have their favorite characters brought back at least once.

Hotdog is awfully uninspired, almost cliché. I'd preferred anyone over him.
And Sunburn is great figure. Looks great. Plays great - the only complaint would be that he's a little close to Cynder in playstyle (sort-range EoA attact with a dash attack).

Wham-Shell... ugh. He's both ugly as hell and stupidly overrated. Like Boomer, the only reason he's popular is his rareity.

Well I bet that Sunburn and Wham Shell will be making a comeback eventually. I mean we already have simi confirmation that they will make a 4th game so they have another chance.

I like wham shell but not enough to want a repose and I think sunburn is horrible, his attacks are boring and he looks ugly too.

Wham Shell was released too late to be considered for a S2.

Sunburn didn't sell very well.

i wouldnt mind a series 2 whammy, out of the 4 original water elements he was my favorite to play with. Really only him and Thumpy are the ones i enjoy from the water element. As for sunburn.....i enjoyed him <.< was a lil sad that he couldnt fly but i thought he was pretty cool. I havent done much playing with hotdog so i cant comment on that

Gee, putting him in the last Adventure Pack after most interest has died out would SURELY be a great way to test his popularity.

Freakin' Activision/TFB.

Put it his way:

Say you're the owner/creator of Skylanders and you're in charge of deciding who will get S3/S2 reposes.
- You can't just pick who you like
- And you can't just pick who 1 or 2 fans like
- So where do you go?

Obviously you would see what Skylanders were bought most, that determines the majority of who-likes-what character best.
If Wham-Shell didn't sell well, why would you repose him? Surely the fans don't like him, 'cause hardly anyone bought him.

Putting yourself in other's shoes ain't all that easy, hm?..



I would've just decided to repose all the characters and add the new ones at the same time. I know the fanbase is desperatley looking for Wham Shell and I would probably repose him to make it more possible to find him for future generations of skylanders. He could probably sell a little better if he was included in a 3 pack and a bunch more single packs of him released.

Basing who likes what skylanders off of sales is a bit of a stretch. Comparing the sales of the last one to be released that was rare (Whamshell) to one of the ones that had been out for months before him of course the sales will be worse for whammy compared to others.

I've never seen a Wham-Shell in stores. My cousin looked for months after he came out, and only ever found five in shops(in a single Big W). We have never found a store which got restock of him.

IT'S TOTALLY ACCURATE TO JUDGE WHAM-SHELL'S POPULARITY AND DEMAND BASED OFF OF THAT, AND TOTALLY FAIR NOT TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE LATER.

To this day I am grateful that I managed to pick one up preowned from an EB Games store.

Lack of Boomer repose in SG based off sales = fair, he was a shelf warmer and out since launch in America;
Lack of Wham-Shell repose in SA based off sales = not fair, he was the last figure released, in low supply, and only ever put out again in America after Giants itself came out.

Seeming lack of repose for both in SSF = TOTALLY NOT FAIR, characters like Slam Bam (calling it now) and Trigger Happy who have reposes AND Legendaries totally don't need another figure, AND it's making lots of people miss out on these characters since they aren't restocking them properly.

^ I am super glad Wham-Shell isn't getting reposed, because then I would have spent an extra $20 to get the castle case. $30 for case-$10 for him=$20 for case.
Other than that, I could care less who gets reposed.

Wham-Shell is my one of my top favorite Skylanders, his look and how he fights are amazingly good. I also managed to get him for only 10 bucks luckily.

I just miss Wham Shell because he was my favorite from the water element. Also he's the only one who is red and not blue I mean I know they are from the water element, but not to be offensive, but does all the water skylanders have to always be blue?

^It depends who you're asking.

If you're asking me, she is average. She is well balanced. Her Crystal Shards can be shot very rapidly, but they prevented her from being overpowered by making her damage low. Same with her Shimmering Spin. They both tick very rapidly, but do low damage.

Her Z attack (Wii) I don't use very often, as I like to use her spin to get away, and then spam Crystal Shards. Now, I'm not saying her Z Attack isn't good, it is, but can be difficult to use effectively because none of her shards go very far, or very fast.

Overall, Her strength, to me, is around a B. On a scale of A-F.

I'd rather have Warnado simply for the fact that we already have 3 types of Jet-Vac (regular, light core, and legendary) I dont really play with either much but another Warnado would be cool

Chill is awesome, but she wasn't really a fan favourite. Everyone missed out on Wham-Shell, so they really missed a good opportunity for him to get a second chance.
WHY IS HOT DOG COMING BACK? We don't need a third one, we need another Sunburn. Sunburn's the most popular Fire Skylander according to site poll. Please reconsider this, Activision!
