I can't believe I'm saying this, but the more I see of this thing, the better it looks. The toy form, at least. The in-game pictures and videos of him are still deeply horrifying.
...Those soulless black eyes... *shudders* I'm still really looking forward March 1st! The Power Blues, Battlecast, and the Easters! It'll be a big day!

I want Thrillipede ASAP, but I really don't wanna get this variant... I like the pearl texture but... THOSE EYES. Plus it just seems weird seeing a rabbit-designed Skylanders using bug attacks and going through metamorphosis... o_o also, mustard engine. GAHHH I can't decide, are there any others who hate him like I do but have him in-hand?

full eggcited thrillipede backstory
Thrillipede is all suited up and ready to defend his title as the reigning Dragon Egg Toss Champion. After last year's controversy, when Kaos wrongly accused him of coating several Dragon Eggs with sticky tape, Thrillipede is eager to show everyone that his egg tossing supremacy was no fluke. And to prove his point, he's agreed to enter the competition with one hand tied behind his back! |

Shouldn't sticky tape make it harder to throw? Also I guess species advantages are a-ok if you're a Skylander... And even more ok to compete with muscular four arms against someone with stick limbs(no seriously go look at some freeze frames from Kaos' sleeves or when he jumps). Kaos would totally have a case if he called differences in strength.

So, about Thrillipede growing wings, he does temporarily grow wings on his top path, however, he can not actually fly. He only hovers there, you can't actually move him.\
Edit: guess HIHD already posted this in the other topic, so never mind.

He can only rapidly throw his egg grenades during flight, which once an enemy gets in close range, it's useless, and since you can't move, your only hope is to spam that button and hope you kill the enemies before they get close. If they get in close range, once you land, you'll take a ton of damage from their attacks as Thrillipede recovers.

Doomstone was hyped to be a lot about Medusa imagery and ended up having a super watered down single attack instead?

Or maybe because Doom Stone became hard to find and was released in the last Wave as well? Don't know, I found him quite easily. Didn't know they advertised him about being so related to Medusa. I'd say he looks like a living and moving ancient Greece reference, including that myth. Packed with an awesome DreamWorks' smile, of course. ![]()

Oh boy, start saving up the flame shields,we've got a controversy in our hands! I'd detail it here and now but it'd go offtopic real quick.(in a word: tons of people don't support these guys and how they treat autism like the end of the world. Get Power Blue second hand.) The blue looks really nice on the figures though! Much less bright than ingame, I like it.

Yep, and they were a borderline antivax organization until the whole measles in California/whooping cough outbreak things made them look bad. Some of their leaders still lean that way, but they took a neutral position as an organization because they were afraid donations were going to dry up. |

Well, since you won't be the only one to ask, hopefully the mods will let this stay since it's relevant.
Impressions from a youtuber I really like that has Aspergers. There's atually a really good post and bigger one that explains more and goes into detail about their 'autism is a disease' theme but I lost it entirely. Razz reposted it on her tumblr but she left DS so out of luck with finding it easily :I

No, they aren't that bad like PETA. But they are a big organization with lots of "overhead" costs (aka big salaries and expenses for people that work there). Charitable dollars are much better used by smaller, local charities anyways. One issue, as mentioned, is they treat autistic kids as "broken", when that is far from the truth. There is a spectrum that has been widened quite a bit in the past several years, which is good because it allows parents to get insurance coverage where they may not have in the past. You have many different levels of it, from those that cannot function at all socially to those that just have little "quirks" that most people would overlook. But organizations like Autism Speaks (and some of the others much more severely) want to treat them like they are all damaged. That's a horrible way to treat people that might just need a little help and understanding. Also, as I mentioned, you have the antivax angle. Autism Speaks has backed away from it in light of some of the recent outbreaks and the overwhelming scientific evidence. But, some of the people that run it are still very much antivax - they just stopped advertising it when public opinion turned sour. They never outright took the antivax perspective, but many of their statements were dripping in coded language, and several people have been pushed out that did not buy the antivax perspective over time. There are lots of articles on their shifting position on vaccines, people getting pushed out that disagreed and the high pay of executives (the former head made $436,000 in 2012, how many Skylanders you think it would take to cover that?) if you want to Google it. |

Hmm. I bit less than I expected, but like I said before, Power Blue Splat will be the only new SuperChargers character I'll get this year as I don't have the game. I'll display it somewhere in my room. Also I'm autistic as well but don't know much about Autism Speaks, except that it's bad. But at least this "campaign-themed" variant would be relevant to who I am, with the autism thing and anything.

Long story short, they treat autism like the end of the world as if it's a terrible sickness you can't function with and they act like autisic adults are non-existent. They want to "cure" it but they can't seem to wrap their heads around the concept that it's just a brain pattern and not a sickness. They also were almost anti-vaccine supporters from what I hear, but I don't know much on that factor. I like how Activision is trying to do good by partnering with them, but I can't see these variants boding well with the public. |
