According to my friend, who knows a lot about variants/errors, my silver-faced Ignitor could still be worth something since it's unique. Error or not, it's still something everyone can't find. Unique qualities in toys always have the chance to be rare later on. I still haven't seen another 3DS copy of the game with a silver-faced Ignitor. I put that baby in my safe.
In anycase, these silver Skylanders were aparently made on purpose. The official Skylanders FB and Twitter page notes that only a handful were produced.
I won't ever pay more than 7 bucks for them. Only way I will ever get anymore silver Skylanders, outside of my silver Dino-Rang, is if I find them at stores. If I don't, then at least I have 1.
Wow. So these are not error figures. I wonder what was the point of it. This will surely drive up the value of the figures. I wish they'd have painted them gold.
