Finally received my Skylander I won in the Creator Contest. Took 8 weeks but overall I think he looks awesome. The sword is kinda weird right next to his head and isnt as smoothly finished as I had hoped but the rest of the figure looks great, good size and everything looks in proportion! General Tigera is his name!

Well, of the 5 figures to arrive, only 1 survived.

I am gutted.

Nearly ready to give up.

I knew that would happen as they are far too fragile to be mailed. I was hoping it wouldn't though.... T_T ..... There there. A few pages ago you can read about how my first one came loose and she broke. I got a free one out of it but being in Australia and the fight you had, who knows what could happen. I mean you're lucky they even sent them to you because they probably took a great hit on the shipping cost which is why they were dragging their feet on them. I doubt they'll want to send another set to you for any reason. I say don't open them yet, contact the company and see what they will have to say about it. They really SHOULD refund you by now in a fair world. If they tell you to get bent, then open and fix them as you have nothing to loose. Just hope this won't keep you from enjoying Sky 7 if they do release one.

^Also, if you do end up taking them apart, you can use the chip in other creative ways.

My biggest problem is, they never shipped them to me, they shipped them to the mail forwarding company, so they didn't take a hit on postage to Australia…….. But, if they want to they can say that it isn't their problem because of that same reason.

As for pulling them apart and fixing them, 2 are salvageable, 2 are just pebbles of undistinguishable parts in the bottom of an incredibly scratched dome.

After work I will he taking photos, but its painful to look at the 2 that were so badly ruined as those are the 2 we wanted most of the 5.

I really love that design.
The tiger legs are awesome.

I'm thinking about ordering on of these, but I need advice - should I make a figure of an original character or an Imaginator of myself, complete with a Chompy backpack and a hotdog sword.

So this is the train wreck........

I pulled apart the containers, spent a lot of time figuring out what went where...........
and presto.




One of them is just plain destroyed, so I won't even bother with that one.
the domes on the 3 remaining broken ones are too scratched to use so I will just display them out of the dome. I have fixed the nfc tab to the base of the figures, so they still work like a regular skylander.

That's insane.

I like how the Smasher was smash proof.

Personally, I love characters based on an existing character, but I still think there is nothing like one you made out of your own imagination.
pun intended.

Optimall,
Great job on fixing them up! You like did an Amazing feat there. WoWzers is all I have to say after seeing your train wreck. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks trixter68,
Wowsers is right.
So happy to at least have some customs now, even if they are a little tougher up.

Great job optimall. It's amazing you were able to salvage the sentinel!

How do they feel? Are they really delicate?

decided i'll get one more figure around my birthday. trying to decide between these 3 to get the figure treatment though- thoughts?

Brain drain!!

Brain drain ftw.

Excuse me



Kidding. I think Slick is the better one, mostly because its thin parts are few and would leave less room for it to break during shipping.

Brain Drain!

You would not believe how strong they really feel.
I intentionally tried to snap the leg of the sentinel just to see how strong he was and all i can say is wow, they are really strong.
The postal service must treat these parcels like total crap to be able to do what they did to them.
i wouldn't hesitate to display my figures outside the dome, bar dropping them from a height I reckon these guys could easily be handled on a day to day basis.
I fully intend to crack harley from her dome today, and will be doing that to any others i get in future.

They are sealed with glue after they come out of the mold to make them stronger.

I decided that I'm going to make a character called Professor Peculiar for a figure. He's a Tech Sorcerer with the Dummy head, the snake arms, the Spyro horns, the top hat, the eyeball chest, the yeti legs, the eyeball tail, the ice cream staff and the pizza arm armor.

Instead of getting a figure of myself as an Imaginator, I'm gonna make Professor Peculiar.

Careful with that eyeball tail, they might make it pretty big.

Yeah, think I might change it to the skeleton tail looking at what happened to Mega Spyro's eyeball tail.

If you want to risk printing a figure with the eyeball tail, I'd recommend making it a thin as possible so it might actually look the size you're hoping for.

Activision just requested pics of all the ruined creations.

hopefully they code me up.

I'm gonna change Pro. Peculiar a bit. Now he's gonna have the Neo Cortex ears, the lava leg armor and the lemur tail.

If they code you up. Won't the figures get broken in transit? I mean it could be a train wreck again?

Do not send them any images of them outside of their domes. That'll surely invalidate any claim you have, especially the ones you fixed up. The trouble is that you already took them apart and fixed them. They asked me for the number on a sheet of paper next to the damaged figure, so the ones you took prior may not work even if you put numbers over them.

So, better to send only a pic of the totally broken one. Altough it sucks that the rest arrive broken, you could at least fix them, but the only way to get the things properly done with the ruined one is to follow fairyland tip.

Now I don't know who to make for the 3d Print. I mean, I really like Professor Peculiar, but today I came up with Mr. Doom, who's basically the reincarnation of the Darkness made from it's last surviving particles. He has the Painted Skull head, the tuxedo chest and legs, and the tree arms. He also has the Space Staff. Who should get it a figure, do you think?

Also, Zap, you've got picture of your characters on cards. Are they no longer sample images?

Looks like they killed that feature on the store site...

This one arrived today.
Her name is Jinx
Happy Day.

Whoa! She's maybe the best I've seen. Jinx is a good name, too. Makes me want to get one.

Right out of avatar huh? Very cool.

Wasn't thinking avatar at the time. But later it made sense.
I do love it though. Funny thing was I made and purchased it the day the app came out. The game wasn't even released at the time, and I only just got it now…….

She is awesome

Here's my Imaginator, Amethyst:

I was one of the winners of the Skyland Academy twitter contest and I almost forgot about my order.

trying to decide which one of these guys gets a figure.



majority will probably still go with Brain Drain

Brain drain!!!

Spillgore is amazing

Spillgore, Slick, or Blacklight. Couldn't decide xD

I would say blacklight, but when you get the figure printed it would be greylight.
So spillgore it is.

i would pick spillgore outta that bunch.

Hey everyone!

I am not really a member of this site, I have been following this thread ever since I ordered my own 3D printed Skylander on November 30th 2016. I have lived with all of your pains, the disfigured limbs, broken figures, unshipped figures etc... But mostly I was just really curious to see what others ordered.

I just wanted to thank you all for somehow having accompanied me during my own waiting time, haha! I had some issues with my shipment and it ended up taking about 3 months for my dude to arrive, I thought the very LEAST I could do is post him here.


I show him in pretty good detail in my Youtube video =>



But here are some pictures for those that prefer the quick fix, the horns are a tad smaller than they should have been and for some reason there is this white piece of dust or whatever it is stuck on the INSIDE of my dome. Either way, I definitely count myself among the lucky ones when it comes to the end result.

That is one sick puppy! He is so freaking Awesome....

decided on Fire Ant

Hi, this is my Imaginator, a female version of Flameslinger but she is also inspired by Stealth Elf design I'm really satisfied with the quality. After seeing some people figures arrive damaged I was worried but my figure has zero damage.

Quite nice

Oh my. I think I'm in love.
