That on the promotional poster, Stealth Elf is on the center while Spyro is standing on the side-lines?

Not stupid, just kind of strange, because Spyro is the main character, so really he should be placed into the middle, but it's not that much of a big deal to me, unless Activision are trying to get across that this game is a spinoff by doing that? Not sure.

Yeah I wouldn't find it 'stupid'.

Never mind, we all have our opinions of it.

Stealth Elf is the main character hurr durr

Personally, I find it a bit gratifying that she's in a position of prominence. That's not something we see often in gaming, a non-main character female prominently displayed. Still got my fingers crossed that she's not the only girl, though.

There is a wind dragon in the game. Though not confirmed to be female, the design traits suggest that it's female, such as long eyelashes, and a chest like ANB/DotD Cynder's. We have not found out it's name yet though.

Funny, because I could of sworn the game wasn't called "Skylanders: Stealth Elf's Adventure".....

Sorry quoted wrong person ^

Lol, don't worry.

Maybe they did that because they thought it would look better...

He doesn't have the right pose to face the middle?

Stealth Elf is female?

Sure.
But they probably did it so that people who hate the game wouldn't go, "How dare they use Spyro! They are just using him to get money and/or they are defacing him!"
So it doesn't look like they are just using him to attract people.

Fans who act like trolls are complaining about that anyway.

Stealth Elf is female?

Yep. It's pretty obvious, too. Most dudes don't wear midriff-bearing shirts, keep their hair in braids, have almond shaped eyes with obvious eyelashes, or have noticeably prominent busts.

didnt they remove stealth elf from the game and replaced it with a dude with an bow and arrow?

Nope. The dude is Flameslinger who is just a guy from Stealth Elf's race. She's on the box and her figure is still for sale, so she's still in the game.

I think Flameslinger is of his own race, since they are from different worlds.

oh. i could have sworn i read somwhere here on DS that they removed/replaced her.

I was assuming Flameslinger is from Stealth Elf's race because they look pretty similar: green skin, blue hair, same style of clothing, etc.

I don't think they'd remove a character whose figure had been made and who's been featured prominently in all of the game/toy convention display booths as well as the trailers (she's in a few of those). And she's on the box.

Well strange that the title has Spyro's name. And since he's the lead, he should switch places with Stealth Elf so Spyro would be at the center.

I don't think it matters that much at all.

Doesn't bother me at all.

I think he wasn't put in the middle because they wanted to show emphasis on being able to play as any of the characters, rather than the game revolving around/starring Spyro.
I'm not bothered by it, just thought it was a little bit weird at first.

Maybe the guy who did the image had little time and didn't pay attention that it was Spyro who is the emphasis of the game. It happens.

I do recall hearing in an interview that the game is focused on the Skylanders in general as opposed to Spyro. >.>

In before we get Flameslinger X Stealth Elf

oh the pairings will come..

I already beat you guys to the Stealth Elf pairing with Elora x Stealth Elf. And I think someone paired her up with Spyro once, too. There's been talk of her with Trigger Happy as well.

Zap X Wind dragoness...Nah Wind Dragoness X Skeleton monster of death

Spyro X Wind Dragoness i can see that happening.

Bah, you guys are no fun. Always pairing up like with like. Wind Dragoness x Trigger Happy forever!

I think it's that we try not to get any mental images stuck in our heads.

I doubt that very much. If you guys didn't want the mental images, you wouldn't bring up shipping at all.

In that case, people just don't make sense.

Now THAT is true.

I'm going to go hide in the corner where I try to make sense out of anything.

Does it really matter if he's in the middle or not?

Well Spyro was just a head on the hero's tail cover and hunter was in middle and nobody complained about that so whats the fuss about stealth Elf?

^Try to remember that Spyro's head was bigger than anyone else on the cover, signalling that he was the main character.

well, that doesn't neccessarily mean he's the main character either. I have plenty of game cases where the "bigger" pictured character isn't the main character either.

Really? What game is that?

Trigger Happy X Wind dragoness, Come on it's.

Trigger Happy X Grill Grunt

If they have another poster with Spyro up front, it doesn't matter.

If they don't... poor choice in design, considering the game's title.

Though I'm all for strong female characters, it's SPYRO'S game. Ergo HE should be center. If Stealth Elf is like a secondary/co star character, then by all means have her next to Spyro, but definitely have Spyro in the center, even if he does share the spotlight.

It's been confirmed that it's not Spyro's game, it's the Skylanders' game (of which Spyro is just one). Spyro himself is pretty prominent on most of the advertising and packaging for this game, but it's not just his game.

Yet some fans still want Spyro to be front and center. That little detail. Even in a Spyro spin-off game that's not about just him.
