Caaaan I call this game Skylanders: Super Variants yet?

But wow this one is actually real pretty. Sure,it's not ingame variant,but the palette isn't half bad, especially with the popsicle? christmas lights? theme. Could've easily replaced Birthday Bash Pop Fizz for a january theme.

Alright, tell me one thing:

Why couldn't they have made THIS available to the public along with or instead of Missile-Tow Dive-Clops? Seriously, this one was way more creative than Dive-Clops, plus it actually looks really nice, while Missile-Tow is incredibly cheap looking. He lacks any metallic paint.

Bah humbug, I say. Not dropping money on this.

Probably because this variant actually took some money and effort to make.

This irks me because the Employee Edition Skylanders are always beautiful, and unfortunately for me, I like so many other will never even get the chance to own something like this (unlike other chases, which are at least released publicly, albeit sparingly) and a good deal of Employees don't even care for Skylanders and just pawn them off.

Alas, being a grumpy old man comes with the not-rich collector territory I suppose.

IF cardboard background traditions hold up still, it should be an in game variant.
The artwork on the background is the same as the figure, and this in times past has been an indicator of that it is an in game variant.
sigh...

The variants almost outnumber the actual Skylanders this year. I gotta say they really pulled it off this year. There's only 20 Skylanders? Sweet! Then at the last minute they announce 20+ variants to even it out. They coulda released something like this but less expensive for a Christmas variant too. A Peppermint Splat would've looked amazing, with red and white hair, maybe a red and green paint streak, and a green suit, but no, they had to find an excuse to release another one of their bland wave 1 mascots as usual.

Yeah I thought about that too. If the artwork is different it should be in-game.
But damn this Variant's amazing. I'm throwing my money at the screen, hoping that something will happen.

EDIT: And remember the E3 Hot Streak, no one thought it would appear like that in-game but it did.

It could be just like Snowderdash, and the artwork goes with the "name". The only difference would be that Snowderdash is Swap Force Lightcore, so there is no character art on the box.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure everyone will have a variant. We are down to three characters without, right? Gill Grunt, Nightfall (unless you count the error) and...was the last one Eruptor?

It looks great.

I've always thought if the box has a different name on it , it is an in-game variant.

E.g. The crystal skylanders arnt called " crystal whatever " they're still just " whatever " so they don't show up different in game.

But I don't collect variants so I'm not certain.


It's such a tease . " this is the high figure quality we can produce ....... But they're only for staff" .

Us fans really don't get treated too well.

Okay so two questions. How did you find out this wasn't an in-game variant? Where did you find this out?
Two, HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY HATE GRAVITY FALLS?! Just kidding about that second one, though.

I jest I jest, to each their own smilie

Honestly though, with all the variants most characters have in Superchargers now, I'm very, VERY surprised they still haven't made an in-game variant of their precious Gill Grunt. Though by the next game, I'm guessing all characters are gonna get more and more variants to bump the number of figures up at the last minute, while still chanting "There's only 20* figures!"
AdamGregory03 Gold Sparx Gems: 2156
#27 Posted: 00:12:33 17/12/2015
...I honestly don't see what all the hoohah is about this variant. It's not Egg-Cited Thrillipede bad and the Christmas lights are a nice touch... but other than that I think it's just kind of meh.

I'm pretty sure it's because someone would have shown it hacked from the game by now, like Blue Splat. I'm happy to see this figure as I thought perhaps the blue figures would be the employee gifting ones.

It does look cool but they need to stop.

Each new variant of any kind they create is like saying "look at what we did instead of coming up with brand new Skylanders! Look at how we invested our time and money!".

Seriously, if all the resources invested for all the variants released so far were used to create original characters we would of course have had less of them but at least they would have been worth it.

I really wish they could create a game where "20 new figures" means "20 new figures".

When they say 20 new figures, they mean "20* new figures (*see back for details)"

I hope it isn't in game, because I try to collect all in game variants, and I know this won't be cheap on eBay. On one hand, the back of the box has different artwork, and the packaging says Snow-Brite Stormblade, and in the past, both these things have meant it is an in game variant. On the other hand, (and correct me if I'm wrong here) that no employee exclusive has been in game (but we never had (kind of( chase variants in starter, so what do I know?) and the hackers said nothing about a Snow Brite Stormblade in the files.

If this isn't an in game palette, that would officially break the ONE rule of determining if something is a variant or an alt-deco. Every single in-game palette figure has a unique name, ie: with a qualifier. You can always, in the past, know if what you are looking at will appear different in game if it has a distinct name. Crystal Tuff Luck will not look different in game, as "crystal" is not part of the name on the package. Enchanted Star Strike will look different in game, as the figure has a unique name on package. This has always been the ONE thing that without fail distinguishes alternate palettes from variants. Unless they are breaking this rule, my guess is that this figure has an in game palette.

Also, remember that all of the alt-decos were mines from the original release of the game, and that if they want to add new alt-decos, they can easily do so via patch.

If this is an in game palette, I am VERY mad about this, and like many others, will have to pay out the nose for one.

Edit: I pay very little attention to the variants and employee figures, so I didn't realize Snowderdash had a unique name on package, so perhaps this won't be in-game. Though, this figure has a qualifier, and I am not sure that rule has been broken. Someone let me know if it has.

Only way we would know is if an activision employee said so, or if someone who buys one of these figures online says so.

At best this will register as special and not in-game. This is actually a bit worse than being a chase because this was never intended for public consumption... but the employees know they can get top dollar if they sell it...and so they shall.

I guess we could tell by the sticker artwork in the bottom of the pack. If it shows regular Stormblade, then it wouldn't be in-game.

But... What if the sticker was Snow-Bright artwork, name and the whole works, yet it wasn't in-game??? That's just crazy talk.

I guess it's cheaper to give them a figure that cost perhaps $1 to make and let them sell it for $300 on ebay rather than give them a $300 bonus in the paycheck. LOL

Still though, those employees get such nice collectors perks...but I doubt they care much as they are probably sick to death of working with Skylanders stuff all the time.

I'm wondering, isn't it time for them start in on making special collectors club figures? Pay $50 a year to get crummy advertiment posters and whatever all year round and a special chance to buy a limited edition figure for $29.95 plus $15 shipping with a 6 to 8 week turn around time every couple of months. LOL I know I would so be in the club if they ever done something as horrible as that just to avoid missing out on some cool release figure.

Please. Get a grip. Heaven forbid they give employees a nice present for their work on the game. The entitlement is ridiculous.

Get a job there or buy it on EBay if your OCD is getting the best of you. It's just a freaking number on the Stats screen.
