Power Blue & Easter Variants

This looks better than I eggspected. Hopefully he has those alt deco weapon variant that's on the figure.

My eyes! The goggles do nothing!

(It looks better than the artwork, though, as long as they keep that glittery white)

I like the original Thrillipede better than his Egg-cited counterpart.

Eggsellent.

I'll wait for in-hand pics. I want that white to be so shimmery that even Astroblast is a pleasure to look at.

Anyone else notice how it doesn't have it's base colored differently than a normal figure, unlike other variants?

You mean how Eggcited Thrillipede's pedestal isn't festively-colored like the following:

Frightful Fiesta - black with orange icon
Missile-Tow Dive-Clops - forest green with white icon
Steel Plated Smash Hit - olive green with silver icon (not a holiday variant)

Yup, exactly like that.

My doubts, became extinct!! It looks awesome!! Hopefully, they don't pull a AstroBlast on us, am I right?

Also stop with the egg puns, please! Like, egg-tremely stop!!

It's still better than what they did for TT last Easter. That was a major rip-off.

I respect the attempted easter bunny. Better Easter variant then in the past. I still don't want it though.

I don't understand why they don't just create a rabbit skylander and use that for a special Easter figure.

Or do something like repose sonic boom and decorate her eggs.

I *loved* the Easter Trap last year. It was pretty awesome.

This looks more of those white chase variants from Giants, or a snow/Christmas themed variant than a Easter one. And is very hard to see the figure in such white.

Overall I liked it. But I'm worried about the actual toy quality.

Oh, an HD image of Nightmare Thrillipede.

Cool cool.

It's still terrifying.

Also I was hoping for a pink engine.

It looks awesome! But I'm not gonna get my hopes up since Astroblast was a huge disappointment for me.

Rabbit Caterpillar

Interesting. Looks like they took the grenade pin out of the mouth for the variant. This is the first time a variant has actually had an alteration of the toy's structure.

1. This thing looks ugly no matter what
2. The pin out of the mouth can just be an error on the promotional art, remember LC Pop Fizz?

Still my least favorite variant... And I mean, I don't have anything against Easter variants, but why Thrillipede? Wouldn't Splat make more sense for an Easter variant?

Not to rain on the parade here, but when viewing other figure pictures in the same quality as this one, they do not turn out the same. Splat for example, was much more detailed in the picture. There were more colours and more detail. I highly doubt these figures will look as good as they might in the picture.
(I still think Thrillipede is absolutely repulsive though...)

I love it!

Judging by the image, maybe the white paint job on Eggcited Thrillipede will be as sparkling as the white part of the Sunscaper Spire figure.

Hmm I may get him

The Easter trap was very creative, this one is just ehh.
It might've looked better if the jacket was pastel or something so it's not all one solid color.

Smash Hit would have probably been a better choice...

Don't like it, too much white

They could've at least changed the engine color.

Now now, that takes work.

Well i can always customize it

Yeah, it just stinks how lazy they were with this variant. "Paint it all-white, forget the engine they can paint it if they want, we got a variant let's sell it. Oh and don't forget to glue those clown noses on our spitfire figures, we need more variants!"

Agreed

What worries me is that they use the same glossy white from astroblast. To be honest I would prefer with no shine at all.

Clown Spitfire!?

I do love my variants, and this is so much better than the artwork, LOOKS LIKE A BUNNY! Deffo getting this instead of regular.

why bump satan

Right? That was my same thought when I saw it in the character list.

I found this on instagram.

Powah Blues are coming. Get Smurfy.

Now, getting serious, I'm a little excited to see the Power Blue variants properly.

Apparently March 1st Power Blue's and Easter Variants are coming to Toys R Us. It's on another forum post.

No not TRU Exclusive, that's just when they're coming to TRU.

Glad to see they are electric blue. I really want to see the Gold Rusher.

Yes!!! My friend sent me a photo of the sheet showing the release of power blue and Easter at TRU for March 1st!!! So excited!!!!

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that you said they were TRU exclusive - just clarifying for anyone who might have mistaken what you posted. :D

Hope to see the Power Blue SuperCharged Combo of Splat and the Splatter Splasher. If Power Blue Double Dare Trigger Happy really does exist, the same goes with him and the Power Blue Gold Rusher.

I wish Activision would at least properly acknowledge them when they release so people know about them... they only recently announced Nitro Soda Skimmer and it's been out for a month. Either way, can't wait for the power blue land pack Skylanders!

He does and it won't be in a racing pack.

Where did you see that he isn't in a racing pack?
