darkSpyro

About a three weeks ago, I bought some Skylanders on ebay. I got Cynder, Dark Spyro and Legendary Spyro all from one guy. When we were messaging each other, confirming a few things he offered to throw in a used Legendary Chop Chop for free. He assured me that it was in mint condition but when I asked why he was getting rid of it he just replied, "My son just doesn't want it anymore." So I ended up accepting and he sent the figures off.

Just a little over a week later I received the figures in the mail. The three I originally purchased were new, in box and the L Chop Chop was just loose in bubble wrap. I had fun with the ones I originally purchased and it wasn't long before I maxed them out, so I decided to check out L Chop Chop. From the second I picked it up to put it on the portal of power I could tell something wasn't right about it. The figure felt ... clammy? It was very cold and even though it was dry as a bone it almost felt like it was sweating. But I just shrugged it off as nothing, it was very cold that week and I thought it was just my own hands.

The strangeness ensued when I loaded L Chop Chop onto the game, when he came on he didn't say his catch phrase or move he just stood there facing the screen with his head down, silently and eerily. The game told me this Skylander was visiting and belonged to somebody else, so I decided to see what the kid had him at before I reset him. He was at level 10 and lovingly nicknamed 'Bones'. I tried to play as him at the ruins for a while but he was moving really slowly, and he still had his head down. Whenever I tried to attack with him he just glanced up at the screen, looking almost sad. I was kinda creeped out but I just took it as a glitch and continued to reset the figure. I reset it and everything seemed to work again, he had all his animations and catch phrases back. However, there was one small detail that made my heart sink into my gut and feel uneasy, he still had the nickname 'Bones'.
