But if I had to choose, I want another Chop Chop. He was always my favorite

What about Pop Fizz, Gill Grunt, Terrafin, Stealth Elf, Trigger Happy, and Eruptor? We can't just let them disappear foran entire year, that would be sinful!


...in all seriousness though, I just want a S2 Boomer and Sunburn.

Is it odd I want a Bat Spin and Trail Blazer repose just so I can finally get a hold of them?

Id really prefer no reposes but if we must make sure they haven't gotten one before. So my list:

Trail Blazer.
Chopper.
Bat Spin.
Punk Shock.
Pop Thorn
High Five
Dune Bug
Not sure for earth.

I never got the hatred toward the over-reposes characters TBH. They are building a brand from the ground up, of course they have to push a few "main" characters. It makes sense from a marketing perspective to repose the same few characters over and over. I don't see them stopping any time soon.

What they don't seem to understand (V.V at least) is that those characters can still be main characters without being reposed in every single game. In some games these mascots steal more creative ideas for reposes. Fryno or even Ignitor would've fit the role of a Supercharger perfectly, but nope, V.V didn't even consider this and from the looks of it they just slapped a knight outfit on Eruptor from the start. Sprocket would've been an amazing choice for Supercharger too, with her mechanic theme and all, bu; heck, she could've had Gold Rusher as her vehicle with a few changes, but nope, gotta squeeze out another Trigger Happy figure. The mascot characters are fun, but they need to let other Skylanders have the spotlight sometimes.

i want to see the return of dune bug and zap.

I just want mah gurls Hex, Smolder & Deja back, that's all.

here are some others i want back

Ignitor-
This guy was one of the most badass of the original 32. I paid like 30 bucks for him. He's got good potential for awesome fire attacks.

Prism Break-
The other earth guys in SSA just threw stuff. (punches, rocks, boomerangs..) AND THIS GUY SHOT LASERS. Can we get some kind of BISMUTH version of him?

Warnado-
FOR THE LOVE OF EON IT'S GAMERA 2.0 AND I LOVE HIM

If they're revamps:

Magic:
Voodood
Wrecking Ball

Fire:
Smolderdash
Fryno

My picks (I think it's too soon for Light/Dark reposes still):

Air: Whirlwind
Earth: Prism Break
Fire: Torch
Life: Food Fight
Magic: Spyro or Star Strike
Tech: Sprocket
Undead: Hex
Water: Wham-Shell or Chill

the only acceptable chill repose would be a netflix partnership figure

NOT GILL GRUNT

I would prefer to keep only those from the first 3 games eligible.

Also make them revamps, but they work like a repose as in you can use them with original moveset in past games.

Tech, Undead, and Earth should have 2 to make up for the discrepancy in Trap Team.

Tech: Drill Sergeant. I always liked him.
Tech 2: Boomer. What ever happened to Boomer's Big Year?
Magic: Spyro, because he should be star again. Alternatively, Star Strike.
Undead: Fright Rider. I don't personally want him back, but he's the last core from Giants who hasn't, and seems popular.
Undead 2: Hex, cause I always liked her and they could pull something cool there. Alternatively, Cynder would be great, to coincide with Spyro.
Life: Camo. One of my favorites.
Water: I honestly have no idea. Chill?
Fire: SUNBURN. Seriously, only character from SSA who has never returned must return.
Air: Scratch. Was kind of rare and cool. Alternatively, Warnado, as he never had a repose, only a LC.
Earth: Dino-Rang. One of my favorites, never had a repose, only an EE.
Earth 2: Flashwing. Again, one of my favorites.

I only really care about Spyro, Cynder and Sunburn.

However, I can see them tying the reposes into who's gonna appear in Academy.

Gill Grunt!

Seconded.

Gillys for Every Game Ever!

Is there a joke I'm not getting?

Anyway, I would prefer none, but, if it has reposes or revamps, I would want basically the forgotten ones, but I personally would not want Light and Dark reposes because... It just doesn't feel right, I think?


And I totally agree on what Deja Vu said about the revamped SuperChargers. There are many less know characters that would fit better in the SuperCharger concept. As you can see, Fryno would be a really good SuperCharger, so good that Eruptor's vehicle is actually a freaking bike.

Tech: Drill Sergeant. I always liked him.

Finally, another person who likes Drill Sergeant a lot around here! I like him a lot too(I even bought him 3 months before I got SSA for Christmas).

As for reposes:

Magic: Spyro or Star Strike
Water: Wham-Shell(a proper one)
Tech: Drill Sergeant
Life: Stump Smash
Air: Pop Thorn or Scratch
Fire: Flameslinger or Ignitor
Undead: Cynder or Chop Chop
Earth: Bash

None! We need to move away from reposes. It raises the cost of the game and its something we dont need anymore.
I didn't mind it in Gaints because there where that many figures but now its pointless, sorry.

The game's cost is high with them or not. If they want a ton of figures, reposes or not they're getting a ton of figures. In SC you could make an arguments since 10 out of 20 is a lot,but they'd just make 20 new guys with that money without reposes anyway.

I hope none (but know Gill Grunt will appear, in some form).

After SuperChargers I need the focus back on brand new characters, at the cost of not having "fan-favorites" again.

No Gill Grunt toy this year. Now he'll just be pasted over the entire box art, even the logo, just so you don't forget he exists until his return. Fan favorite!

Who's favorite character is Gill Grunt? Everyone who bought the SSA Starter Pack either liked Spyro or Trigger Happy. Gill Grunt was just the extra piece you had to open up the Water gates. Nobody gives a crap about Gill Grunt!

Chop Chop on the other hand. He needs to come back. I don't know what else you could do with a sword and shield, but I want him so badly.

Lol,...he shall return in all his greatness!

I would scream of epicness if they somehow made Gill Grunt the main villain, for one entry.

They might say he had enough of having to be constantly upgraded and reimagined and decided to be the one reimagining the whole Skylands.

An evil clone of him, of course, otherwise he couldn't be playable.

You'd be surprised, I think Gills got second in a fan poll a few years ago. Also, the cycle of exposure, if more people see him, more people like him, more people see him.

And who was first?

Until the last SSA characters who have not received a legitimate series 2, I would prefer that there are no more reposes.

Quote: yelvy

And who was first?

Don't remember, just that Gills being on the list at all(top 5s of each element) was very surprising. I think it's in the General section, if it hasn't been deleted the search function should find it.

LOL gill grunt is not in Battlecast, so maybe the curse is lifted about him always getting a repose?

Both TFB & VV are to stubborn to accept the fact that no one likes Gill Grunt anymore. I already disliked him in SSA, like most people. We can only pray that he won't come back.

others i'd like to see-


Wrecking Ball-
I always liked him. I'd want to see him with moth wings- as some kind of revamp.

Dune Bug-
Seeing as he's a beetle he could be given so many different kinds of new armor. Goliath beetle dune bug plz?

Punk Shock-
AKA undyne before undyne was cool. (seriously the body structure and the use of blue glowy thingies OMFG)
*ahem*
i'd want to see her with some new weaponry.

Flip Wreck-
AKA flip rekt. I even made a Custom Repose of the dolphin boi. (at the cost of some power blues but whatever)
This guy has real good potential.

Spotlight-
mainly just so i could ACTUALLY FRIGGIN' FIND ONE

I really don't have issues with Gill Grunt. He's not a favorite but he's alright.

Now if Stealth Elf returns again I'll rage.

Reveal Spoiler

Netflix and "Chill". If you know what it means, cool. If you don't, don't Google it.

I googled it. Now I understand.

just realized

gill GRUNT

grunt is a term for US marine. he's a fish. marine life..

it took me 5 years to get that pun.

None, as most figures can be picked up cheap enough if people really want to play with a certain character.

I honestly like all of the "Over-Reposed" characters because they help further the credibility of Skylanders as a brand

Well, I like them except Eruptor, but not enough to see them all the time; just like I wouldn't be happy if Hex was at S5 already(my wallet would be even less happy).

Thanks for showing me something I never noticed.

*Raises hand* I like Gill Grunt. He's pretty fun in SSA with his hose attack, and his reimagining in SC is pretty fun, too. The character in the SSA Starter Pack that's my least favorite is Trigger Happy by far. His playstyle is boring and hurts my thumb.

I like quite a few of the over-reposed characters - mainly Stealth Elf, Terrafin, Spyro (not in SC) and Whirlwind (not in SC). The thing I don't like, though, is when they're taking the only rerelease slot. I think every character should have a chance to get improvements, not just the same few every time.

To answer the topic question, I don't particularly care who gets rereleased, so long as it's more than just the same few. The only one that'd be a must-have for me is Spyro, but that's because I collect his variations. Although if there's another favorite like Scratch I'd consider it, but only if their figure looked really cool or if they had a reimagined moveset. Wow Pows never "wow"ed me.

Spyro should be likely. He is pretty much the main character, and having him excluded from SC felt unusual and solely done since his design didn't fit the gimmick last year.
