Ha ha! You were right! Nice! Well... so much for my prediction. At least I figured out it was gonna be a Magic element figure! Thanks for updating...

thats okay DluA

Oh my god....glow in the dark Wrecking Ball!?!

I must have it! Even if it is fake!

HA! DluA It IS wrecking ball lol heres the link for the final glow in the dark figure
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKY...d#ht_679wt_1398

that is one i want to buy, but not at that insane price....

I believe one of those would of been spotted in the US by now.

So these..are only in Australia? Hmm.
I wonder if we'll see them over here. I know of a few lines that had figures they only sold in other countries for whatever reason. Kinda sucks, but I guess we do get a lot of specialty stuff ourselves.


I wish Activision would do something cool, like make a special 3 pack with the variants in it. They'd be a bit more common than the singles, but it'd allow more people to get a chance at them. I'm talking a box of JUST them, like the Blue Bash.

that looks awesome

People have been posting "Re-paints" all over Ebay, like this. They'll re-paint them and them re-seal them back in their packaging. Its not that hard to do. A little creative thinking can go a long way.

Thats why half of me doesn't want to believe these are real. However, I could be wrong. Regardless, if they are real or not, they are straight up ugly.
Only varient I have is "Blue Bash" and the "Legendaries" (If you wanna consider them a varient.)

Paying more than 25 dollars for a skylander is just NOT on my agenda. Varient or not. This is why I've not bought myself that Pearl Hex and Metalic Cynder. I just refuse to pay those kind of prices for something someone either paid 9-10 dollars for, or got for Free as a give away. No thank you.

But most of the people who repaint them tell you in the ebay description.

I'm aware of that yes. And I'm not saying that this is the case at all. I actually was meant to be quoting someone's earlier post but the quote didn't show up.
They asked "how could it possibly be fake if its in the packaging still". And that was my response to that question.

I'm not saying these are fake, but they don't look exaclty legit either, since I'm not the only one who is skeptical. Either way I won't be going out of my way to get them. Regardless they are quite ugly to me.

Ooooh, they really messed up n the choices! Warnado and Wreckng Ball look hideous but Zap remains cute.

I did a glow in the dark double trouble for a friend who looked cool.

They couldn't be fake because how come 3 people in different states have done them and it just happens theres 3 figures being done and none of them have variants yet?

Because they all popped up a day after each other? One guy saw it, thought! Hey that's a good idea?

I dunno if they are fake or not though, just have to wait and see. I'm sure someone will pony up eventually and buy one. Not me though, I'm saving up to buy our second 4 wheeler!

Doing "Custom" Skylanders (in other words: People re-painting them and selling them for high dollar) seems to be a growing trend lately. So yes they COULD be real and then again they COULD be fake.

And you are aware that there are alot of sellers on ebay that have 2-3 side selling accounts? That could very well be the same person with multiple accounts to make themselves seem LESS FISHY. I dunno, like I said I'm skeptical yes, but if you like them by all means take the risk and get them. No skin off my nose.
I'm just saying "Be careful" cus there are plenty of scammers out there. I'm a seller on ebay myself so I know how this kind of thing works. I try to be 100% honest with my buyers but unfortunatley with some sellers, that isn't always the case.

Well i personally think they are real but if you guys think they aren't theres no point in trying to persuade you because thats your opinion

Starting to think these are indeed fake.

Reason I say that, is because the one pic someone posted here, of Warnado, he's turned in a totally different direction than he normally sits inside the packaging.

The person who posted that pic shows the regular Warnado right below it. I have not seen a single Warnado nearly facing the back like that glow in the dark version.

I am calling fake as of now.

two sellers in austrialia le sigh iam getting tired of the aussies getting these items first

Practically every normal figure available in America... Le sigh, I am tired of the Americans getting these items first

HAHA at your quote id rather have the rare ones over reg ones come on dude be real

Oh, and on top of my post above, I will put on my detective hat again. I have never seen anyone get lucky enough to find two variants at the same time or close. Yet, this Squizzy2k seller, found a glow in the dark Warnado and Zap? Definately crying foul, on top of the fact Warnado is turned almost all the way around in that package of the bootleg variant.

I am not saying they are real but I actually did find two gold Drill Sargeants in the same shop at the same time so it is possible.

i could make aem glow u wanna know how use a freaking blacklight i own one u gato focus on their colors and see how they glow even better than boring green glow with the blacklight u can see their colors brighter

Well, what makes it stand out plain as day, is the fact the Warnado in that package (the glow in the dark one) is turned almost completely around.

Heck, my son's 11 year old friend can perfectly open his Skylanders boxes, WITHOUT the need of a hairdryer. I don't know how he does it with just his fingers, but he does.

Hmmmmm yeah that squizzy2k seller does seem suspicious and when i messaged the adelaide seller asking where she got zap from she just said "there was only one" no store information

They are all lying, they couldn't buy that....

I heard Activision is sending this people who finished their collection.

I wish Activision would come clean on what they release, its like they favor scammers & scalpers for some reason.

Your Detective hat has failed
Yes I did get 2!
And they are real. Not Fake!
No I do NOT have another Ebay name or account!

Warnado was picked up I while waiting for the guy to unpack the boxes!
If his head is strange, speak to the little men assembling them.

Why am I suspicious?
I'm not located in Adelaide, That's approx 6 hours away from me!

Oww and you want store! It was K-Mart!

Is this English?

It was Purchased from a store! Was lucky to be there while they were unloading there good's.

ow my god, someone gets lucky, and everyone calls foul.

Squizzy,

If you dont mind me asking, did you get your asking price of $650 for Warnado GLOW?

So, Yes they are real.
No Mods done, The box was not opened! by either myself or any 7 year old!
They are straight from Activision them self! And if anyone called them and they said that
they did not know, Then they do not know them self! How ironic is that!

P.s, Why is there now approx 8 or more listed? Are they all Me?
Did I do this?
Common sense will tell you that these are the latest rare release.

Over and out!

I started this at 650 due to seeing the Crystal ones selling for approx that.
So where did one start a price when I did not know what it would sell for.

I listed for $650 ono
I settled for $350
He might win, I might win
Who knows.

Congrats on finding them! Thanks for letting me know. Welcome to the forum...

Squizzy quick question, you live in Australia right, what language are you fluent in?

Depends on What time in the Morning and How many Beer's I have had?
Because being your so smart, you would know it's 2.57am.

I guess your getting up for school now? or painting another Skylander to cash in on?

Hi DluA.

To be honest, I think it was wrong for Activision to release these rare (so called) figurines.
I have collected all of the Skylanders for my Daughter, which has costed alot of cash just to say we have them all.
And the sly way it was to show the kid's what new character was out there and what powers they had.

Anyway enough of this *****in.

Nice game, and looking forward to the Giants! as they Rule

Look like its past your bed time! The douching hour is nigh!

Just wondering is English was your first language is all, I know a few people who live in Australia and English is usually their second language.

I've been done with school for a long time. I also did sell a glow in the dark Hex on Craigslist for $150, true.

wow squizzy you must not be very educated in "Forum Etiquette" First of all stop double, triple and beyond posting. There is a "EDIT" button at the bottom there next to the "Quote" button you seem to be all familiar with. Stop spamming up this forum with your rubbish, its unwarranted.

You seem incredibly defensive about this subject, which leads me to believe you ARE in fact lying. And if you are not lying, then you have just proven yourself to be quite childish in behavior. My 8 year old is more mature than that. If your an adult act like one.

And for anyone who is willing to pay such a ridiculous amount for something like that, thats THEIR problem not mine. In fact, I commend them for buying the things the want. Its not huring MY wallet.

To sum it all up. Your demeanor here is gonna bite you in the bum. And it makes you less trustworthy in my eyes as far as this goes.

My hats off to you if they are in fact real. But don't come here and start bashing people for being skeptical, cus there are IN FACT people who are re-painting these and slapping them back into their boxes and calling them rare and trying to get a mint for it.
There are also in fact, sellers with several side accounts.

With that said, if you can't control your temper and be nice to the other forum users, then get out of here. Thats my 0.2, and I hope that you can take what I said and use it wisely. This is just some friendly advice from one adult to another.

OKAY, MY BAD FOLKS!

Squizzy may infact have these are variants.

My friend at Walmart contacted me earlier, stating he had 5 boxes of Skylanders hiding for me to go through. I went up there and took 5 Camo and 5 Warnados.

SURE ENOUGH, one of the Warnados is facing in the same direction as Squizzy's glow Warnado.

My Walmart friend is keeping a watchful eye for glow in the darks/clears for me. He said if he doesn't go through them, I can.

Hahahah you are a joke! and your my Hero!

You state that what was listed is incorrect, Fake, !
Maybe look at facts first, instead of crapping on. But you are always 100% Honest.
Forgot that.

I did not join to be Loved, I just wanted to let people know that it was real, and other Glow in the dark's on Ebay are also legit.
But forgot that you were God almighty around here in these parts of the wood's.

Happy Hunting!
Over and OUT

P.s

I should have edited,
Sorry, My bad!

Wait, I thought he already had his "five" and who knows how many more on the way. Now he buys five more?

Post #13. Wait, you're not supposed to see that. I'm supposed to be a hoarder. Eek. Disregard the link above. I'm a hoarder, not a helper. *rolls eyes*

In anycase, the glow in the darks seem to be legit, despite the fact someone at Activision Customer Service said it wasn't. If you want the real low down on if something's real, you ask a member of Toys for Bob themself. There are at least 2 TFB workers on Twitter.

All I know is Wrecking Ball is my girls' favorite and they really like glow in the dark stuff.

I will be on the lookout for this guy.

My question: is it just paint or is it the actual plastic? If it's just paint that can be scratched off, what's underneath?

I would guess paint. If you scratch at the undead bases, or at Stealth Elfs blades and eyes, they have a very rough texture to them.

It's...not actually someone being..well mad.

Double Posting, triple posting, etc is generally looked down upon on virtually all forums across the internet. If you have something to post, it can be contained in one single post either through the edit button, or if you're quoting someone, you can do so via multi post.

And it's not just a made up "netiquette" thing. In fact, it's right in the rules for this forum.

Posting it here for your convenience:
Use the edit button.
Posting several times in a row back to back is pointless, disruptive and a waste of space. Use the Edit button below your posts in order to amend your previous post with what you would have posted, the topic is still marked as having new content.


It's understandable that people would be questioning on new things, especially granted that these are brand spanking new. There's lots of scams out there, and that's something I don't think a lot of people realize. (then they get mad over people not believing them)

It's good you came to the forum to defend your point, but it could have been done in a much nicer manner. You don't have to be a butt about it.

Calm down people, Squizzy is just defensive and angry because people are calling him a liar... I'm sure everyone has slightly over-reacted when being accused of something dishonest that they didn't do... sure he broke the double post rule but at the end of the day that's no reason to be so hostile. People SHOULD read the rules of a forum before posting but how many people really do? The double post rule isn't enforced everywhere, I've been a member of a number of forums where double posting is not against the rules. Ignorance of the rules is no defence but cut him some slack... false accusations sting...

If you carefully read through his posts it's not even a major over-reaction... they read as a little abrupt but essentially by calling him out as a fraud when he isn't that's an insult... heck it's not even an insult it's actually libel. There is no law against not believing someone but there is against calling them out as a fraud with no proof.

I was skeptical of these variants... but only a little... I was waiting for evidence one way or the other but the fact is these are starting to show up a little more... and I guess 2 variants in wave 5 makes up for the lack in wave 4... (another reason why I was holding back on forming an opinion). I'm willing to believe he's telling the truth.

I'm not usually someone to come out with contraversial rants like this but really? Put yourself in this guy's shoes: You wander into a store at restock time... WTF???? What is that? Wow a variant! A new one! Amazing! You buy it and go home with the intention of selling it to claw back some of the money this hobby has cost you and suddenly the whole Skylanders community is insisting you're a fraud... it'd hurt...
