I remember a while ago looking up the expansions for Swap Force and seeing the villain for Time Tower and right away liking him. Earlier I saw him in the actual game, and I really liked his design even more in person. But his design made me feel disappointed. One thing I always disliked about Skylanders is that there really isn't a single... Fat Skylander.

...I know what you're thinking. "Wait, what!?" But truth be told I really like wide characters like the Tower of Time villain, so I'm kind of disappointed that the closest to that as far as Skylanders go are Gusto, Kingpen and Bash. Gusto's not wide enough for me, and his design leaves much to be desired. Kingpen's cooler, but still not wide enough. And Bash? Really, only his Series 1 figure was really all that fat. His in-game appearance wasn't. They really haven't had an actual FAT skylander, or even a round one, and I've always been disappointed by that.

...But as you guessed by the title, I know why they didn't make one. A fat character would have been a very small niche that probably would not have sold well. I would definitely buy one, but I would also be a minority. Regardless of age group, most people don't really see a fat body as a desirable attribute, which is what makes me different. I see a large body as a very sturdy natural armor that's capable of taking hits well, one of the general ideas of super-heavyweight boxing. I've always seen the big guys as guys who could laugh off hits and dish them out, while knowing this is a fantasy aspect, but it's a fantasy aspect I can't get enough of. ...But again, most people don't see it that way.

Anyone feel the same way, or wanted to see something else they knew would have been highly niche but is still disappointed they didn't make a character belonging to that niche?

I kind of meant something you personally wanted, but you know you're in a very small minority of people who wanted it. A lot of ideas mentioned so far seem to be very popular ideas, I was meaning more along the lines of less popular animals or subjects.

Another Scorpion Skylander would be cool, I actually liked Scorp.

hindu deity based, humanoid with multiple arms with each arm holding differant weapon.

teddy bear skylander, can be cute an deadly in the same time.

mermaid, only when there will be one then the water element will be truly perfect.

computer based, an AI that is using a mechinchel body and have a digital based attacks.

count me in on the sand monster ride.

Also, a character with tarot cards.

Wash Buckler was originally going to be one. I wish it stayed that way.

Do quadrupeds count as niche since there's less each game? :u

I don't think so. I'm still not sure a lot of these ideas are niche, but then again I suppose one person's "niche" is another person's common.

A PRAYING MANTIS DANG IT

I can think of one niche I did want: I've always wanted a Star Control Skylander. I know TFB has made a few nods to one of their first games (I think Persephone's speech and Flameslinger's fire-ring move are supposed to be nods to Star Control) but I've always kind of wanted a full-fledged Star Control inspired Skylander, like maybe a pterodactyl (Yehat) or something based of one of the alien races.

Now that I think about it, I do miss quadrupeds. There used to be lots of them, but not anymore. Imaginators only has Mysticat if she counts, except she's a centaurid quadruped.

Gorgon skylander, i want to kill my enemis just by looking at them.

A real viking skylander(chain reaction does not count).

A manticore, it need to happen.

Zodiac skylanders, i want it so bad!.

I know it's not exactly the same thing, but we already have some of those concepts in the game.

Both Crusher and Doom Stone have the ability to petrify enemies (the former by using an ocular pulse and the latter by using his shield, which is specifically designed after Medusa).

Mysticat gets real close to being a manticore, except for the scorpion tail and the fact she is actually a sphynx; I think one of his lines also uses a manticore-related pun.

We do have some Zodiac-inspired Skylanders (even if not directly): Wham-Shell and Lob-Star could represent Cancer, Scorp obviously Scorpio, Wildfire could be Leo, Head Rush Taurus or Aries, Splat and Buckshot Capricorn, Gill Grunt kinda Pisces or even Aquarius because of his water hose (on a second though Rip Tide fits Pisces better, since his whole gameplay is liteally based on using various sea creatures).
I personally see Aurora as a good candidate for Libra, Stealth Elf for Virgo (mostly because she is directly connected with Life and thus Nature) and Rocky Roll for Gemini even if it's a rather big stretch.

If only Knight Mare wielded a bow...

I guess doom stone and crusher are kinda count for gorgon but i still think it will be cool to have one.

I prefer a real manticore skylander and not a sphienx that one of his
Quotes is manticore. I want a lion man or woman with a scorpion tail of the undead element.

I want a compltly new line of skylanders that represent the zodiac, not some other skylanders that mabey represents some of the signs.

A magic skylander in a style of a magician and/or one who fights with playing cards. Like Twisted Fate from LoL.

A tech skylander who specializes in construction skills, like operating a jackhammer, etc.

Another tech skylander with retro arcade/videogame style moves.
"But wait, isn't Skylanders already a video game?"

This is really giving me ideas for when I get Imaginators one day.

No, I just like them. And whether it is or isn't, who cares? That's not what the topic is about.
