OK seriously unless they make sense as to why Pop Thorn is in the Tower of Time set, I really think they should have put Wind Up in it instead. I have nothing against Pop Thorn and I think he's extremely cute, but Wind Up has cranks like the trolls in the level it has clocks, time and machines involved and even the toymaker who made him was obsessed with time! That really does indicate that they must have originally planned to put Wind Up in it at one point. Besides all the other ones made sense with the character they came with so why doesn't this one? This isn't to complain or rant I just want to hear what you all think.
Edit: And Eon forbid I didn't even mention the part that Wind Up was created in order to protect the toymaker's delicate clock collection. Come on Toys For Bob could you be more obvious that he should have been included in Tower of Time rather than Pop Thorn?

Yeah, it is weird. Unless the Sheep-Wreck Island is a tech adventure pack, otherwise, there's no logical explanation.
But then, the Beings of Avarice are not known for logic...

I remember hearing about a Tower of time variant pack, maybe he's planned to star in that one?

I agree. It makes no sense for Popyuck to be in it.

I mean let's look at the older adventure packs just to help bring the relevance in each one
Ghost Roaster is a ghost so Darklight Crypt makes perfect sense Slam Bam is an ice yeti so Empire of Ice is a no brainer Sunburn is a dragon and Dragon's peak was all about dragons even Terrafin made more sense since sharks and pirates are usually mixed together in stories and he looks so natural with a pirate hat.

There you go applying logic to an executive business decision; they can't even agree what's Series 2 or Series 3 characters. My guess is that Pop Thorn is more popular than Wind Up on their internal grading scale, so this forces the purchase of an adventure pack...so ultimately will help with sales I think. Just follow the money and that will be your answer.

It doesn't bother me, but this is the most likely explanation. Pop Thorn is a character that everyone is reacting positively to, so they put him in an adventure pack whether it makes sense or not. But I'm sure they'll make the tower very windy with plenty of air sections to make it seem like it makes more sense. Again, I don't care. I'll get all the characters either way. |

The other reason I'm saying this is so that Wind Up could have had a chance to be in wave 1 so people like my buddy Windumup could have him earlier. Also they could have just released sheep wreck island with Pop Thorn if they wanted to.

I think the Tower of Time originally had Wind Up and Sheep Wreck Island originally had Pop Thorn, and they switched for some reason.

I myself, am very happy that it's a character I really like in the adventure pack. I don't care if it makes sense.

Say, are there any pictures of the toymaker? To be honest, I'm kind of curious.

Mostly curious because earlier I heard there was going to be a dark version of a character called "Lockjaw," who is probably Slobbertooth before he became known as that. And one of my OCs happens to be a toy-maker named Lockjaw. I find it odd there's going to be a minor toy-maker character and that "Lockjaw" was a possible prototype name. ...But then again if I recall correctly, "Lockjaw" might have just been some guys looking at a picture of a random character named Lockjaw, and having the name stuck in their head when trying to name Slobbertooth, as I don't think there are any official sources that say Slobbertooth was originally going to be named Lockjaw.

^In hearing some of the interviews, all game developers work under aliases for the characters until marketing/some higher power changes them. Some of their former names are very unimaginative if not amusing.
