Words cannot describe how much joy I am feeling today. This is the best day ever for , , and are finally back. It's amazing that they could actually get wow pows maybe because Slam Bam has some weird weapon that he never had before. It's a bit too soon to say, but considering how different the poses are and designs, they may have wow pows for them.

Slam Bam's weapon is just his Soul Gem sled. GR's chain looks like a redrawn Pain Chain upgrade but it could be a possible Wow Pow,Boomer is hard to tell.

SONIC BOOM PLZ VV.

I like how they're almost making S2s out of these figures, though not messing with the main game and making, say, Ghost Roaster the new returning SuperCharger. Makes everyone happy.

Even if don't get the game, I am buying EE Ghost Roaster right away~

So, wait, one thing I don't get... Are they going to have revamped moves and upgrades as well, or are the new poses just to make them stand out?

I hope its warnado and sunburn

Only new poses were mentioned,but those are really distinct just like Series 2, which also show up with their basic upgrades/Soul Gems.

I'm only getting Dino-Rang and Sunburn if he becomes one.

Ah, okay. That makes sense.

I'm definitely getting , and , but too bad for not making the cut. Even if they don't have new moves, I'm just so glad to see them again. As for the remaining elements, I can easily say that is a given for fire and anyone can go in air. Just don't let it be Jet Vac and let it be or .

I would get the Slam Bam if they weren't so overpriced and if Sunburn was the fire one, I'd get him too.

Well, I think they might be going for four of the forgotten 7 (5 if you count Lightcores, But I don't. They don't have a wow pow, and only release some 100 damage shock wave, which does no good if you start the level with one) and 4 that only got reposes in Giants. We have Slam bam and Zook, who both got a S2. If they are doing this, Fire could either be Ignitor or Flameslinger, and air would be either Sonic Boom or Lightning rod.

Just throwing this out there...I dont believe it'll happen, for several reasons* (below), so here's a what if scenario...
Eon's Elite Light Element Figure
Eon's Elite Dark Element Figure


*
Previous EE have been SSA figures of the 8 Elements.
The confirmed new EE have also been SSA figures of the 8 Elements.
Light & Dark Elements are too shallow of a pool to draw for EE characters.
Light & Dark Elements are too new to draw for EE characters.

They look like they have Wow Pows.

I'm happy Dino-Rang is back. He's one of my favourites (besides Drobot and Eruptor). If they had an EE Drobot, I would definitely buy him. I liked him when he was OP (in SSA and SG).

I can't wait to see how strong all of the returning champs will be like in this game. Ironically I felt this game should be Skylanders Underdogs for all the guys who haven't been reposed ever since and now practically all of them are back in elite form. Just a few more and almost everyone will be revisited. I'm so happy to see these guys so badly that I'm actually gonna prioritize myself to get these guys before the new characters, vehicles or even the game itself. Welcome back old friends and am glad to see you all again.

I'm so happy ghost roaster is back!!!

As incredible as these look, it pisses me off that instead of being a repose, we are(as far as we know) forced to spend $20 to get these. Many probably just want these for the figure and not the $20-30 worth of overpriced "eliteness". I guess I can hope for another $9.99 sale at EB/Gamestop....!

I def want Boomer, Ghost & Slam. BUT, if they get really cool releases in the regular Superchargers line I may pass. Dunno.

And here we go again....oh well. But i do like Boomer's Bomb's and Ghost Roaster's Weapon.

Also...sorry but i don't like Warnado....and he has been S2'ed...Lightcore even. I think Lightning Rod would make a better Eon's Elite then Sonic Boom.

Ooh, nice. I might get a Ghost Roaster or a Slam Bam. Maybe both. The elites are so pretty, I hope they have the old bases instead of the new ones (I saw the bases on the superchargers, I don't want them ALL to look like that D: ). And it's a damn good thing that elites are shelf warmers, I have a chance.

here:

THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL. :'D

I am soo excited with this. Ghost, boomer and slam are 3 of my favs and I never found a boomer in store (as i started in giants and never came across a single or triple) it will be a very nice moment to actually see a boomer in the wild.


Quote: Matteomax

I love how they tweaked the poses slightly and added different, extremely metallic weapons. Slam Bam looks the best so far, and Boomer's bombs look amazing.

Ya his bombs look sweet!

Okay, lemme just say that I WANT DAT EE BOOMAH

Also...sorry but i don't like Warnado....and he has been S2'ed...Lightcore even.

Series 2: no, out of the initial 8 non-reposed characters, only Camo got an S2.
Lightcore: yes, alongside Wham-Shell. Lightcore reposes are not Series 2.

Warnado! Please VV this will make up for brining back Gill Grunt and Stealth Elf again.

Wow, I actually had , , and (plus and ) on my wishlist, and I'd practically given up on and , so having the chance to get Eon's Elite versions of each of them would be amazing.

Warnado is the loyalty word.

It's great that 1. they're characters who actually need it (plus Slam Bam), and 2. they're reposes this time!

According to skydad and rob at coin-op tv there's only 6 elites this year if thats the case good means should be able to get all of them without having to get any via ebay and such again x.x

Any word on where these will be available? I'm hoping it's either general release or a TRU exclusive. I definitely want these, but prefer a sale. Gamestop won't put them on sale unless they don't sell well, which seems less likely this time around. Then again, TRU could easily exclude these from their normal sales, and be justified in it. Then again, TRU is in the volume business and could probably make more profit with a BOGO 40% sale. Even if you don't want more then 1 elite, there will be racing packs, and buddy packs in the same price range.

According to what I heard from coin op TV they will be toys r us exclusives. Zook, Slam Bam, and Voodood come out in November and Ghost Roaster, Dino Rang, and Boomer are in December

It may be more a "test the waters" type thing for TRU etc.

I could see ignitor and bash coming after these.

If there's only 6 this year it means sunburn gets left out for at least another year, but at the same time I really don't mind 6, and the fact they are not going to be so spaced out is a benefit less waiting for me to be able to buy them at present the EU still doesn't have gill grunt and eruptor for sale

No Prism Break...still fail.

I'm confused about levels...what's their cap?

I think it was a brilliant move...there is a reason Boomer and GR haven't been reposed or Lightcore'd - fear of them sitting on shelves because of looks (same for DerpyRang)...

Going the Elite route, they are making fewer of them, so they don't have to worry about sitting on the shelves, and as a nElite, they are fetching a higher price point, which will still make them profitable.

they most likely are going to reuse this strategy next year - hence the omission of Sunburn & Warnado. (and most likely Wham-Shell)

I find it funny that just two weeks ago I finally painted my Ghost Roaster (just GITD). Maybe I'll get the Elite and GITD the 'bones' portion.

My thought is that since they will be exclusive to TRU, that the price will be even higher than $25. I could see TRU making them $27. Although, that would be stupid considering that there are PLENTY of EEs at Gamestop. Gamestop has never had a shortage of these figures. With a price increase, the only way these figures would move is with a BOGO sale.

I am pretty sure that they said these would retail for $19.99. Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought that I read that.

If they do end up at eight, Sunburn and Sonic Boom are the most likely.
Following the same pattern as the other 6. (Well Lightning Rod would be more likely, but he kind of wouldn't work having his cloud in the game and on figure. I mean, gold cloud? But, who knows)

"suggested MSRP of $19.99"

If these end up being Toys'r'us exclusives they will cost more than that, TRU never follows MSRP.

Also, I really hope they aren't TRU exclusives, the nearest is 30-40 minutes away and has terrible selection/stock. At least with Gamestop I've got 4 options within that same distance, I've even got 4 Target stores that I could go to within the distance of that one TRU.

Are you sure these are official? Not to give your hopes up, but they looked photoshopped to me.

Someone must've worked on months for those models, then. Too much effort for a fan to spend.

But pretty sure official articles have been posted. So totes real.

Seeing as they got officially Tweeted out by Activision's official Skylanders account (@SkylandersGame), yeah, we're pretty sure they're official, lol.

Why are they reposed ?

Quote: Dark fhoenix

Why are they reposed ?

Likely because the biggest reveals hadn't seen a S2 character yet, but that's just a guess. Slam Bam has had a couple of versions, but it would be a little off (not to mention messing with some folks' OCD) to have all of the characters who hadn't been rereleased yet reposed but those who had not. (shrug) We won't know for sure until someone can pin down someone at Activision/Toys for Bob/Vicarious Visions and point-blank ask.

-Doug

They are only making 6...
Slam Bam
Boomer
Ghost Roaster
Dino Rang
Voo Dude
Zook

So no Air or Fire EE characters then...?

Resists succumbing to OCD

I wonder, will Sunburn be known as The Forgotten One, now?

Why did they even make Slam Bam if they were going to not make a full set?

I do wonder why Slam-Bam got a fourth incarnation and nothing for Sunburn. I would have loved to see Wham-Shell but at least he got a Light Core with an awesome pose in Swap Force.

The last phoenix

These guys are apparently being shown at SDCC. Waiting on pictures of the ones that we haven't seen thr figures of..

I'm hoping for Sunburn.

I have a feeling Lightning Rod will be the other... as he has a level in the actual game where his people live etc. so it'd make logical sense. Though, I'd prefer Warnado or Sonic Boom..

Quote: Muffin Man

Add in Fright Rider as the only one from Giants that isn't a giant.
Swap Force only 2 have been remade so you can't go past Giants.
So Sunburn and Fright Rider are the Forgotten Two. (or both The Forgotten One from their respective game, if you prefer)
