Here are some figures I have that aren't Cores, Elites or Legendaries. They're just special figures made to celebrate a holiday, season or what have you.
That's Winterfest Lob-Star (Xmas) and Love Potion Pop Fizz (Valentines Day).
Some variants I don't have from Trap Team: Nitro Head Rush, Nitro Krypt King, Instant Snap Shot, Instant Food Fight, and King Cobra Cadabra. There are also a couple of Dark Element versions of some of the core characters I don't have: Dark Snap Shot, Dark Wildfire, and Dark Food Fight.
There are only six Xmas Skylanders, it turns out. I have three of them: Winterfest Lob-Star, Jolly Bumble Blast and Missile-Tow Dive-Clops. The others are: Merry Snap Shot, Holiday Wash Buckler and, my favorite that wish I had, Jingle Bell Chompy Mage. Maybe for Xmas, I'll get all these together and make a picture.
The only special Skylander I have is a silver Spyro I got at E3 one year.
Neat! That's a rare one. Ever used it in the game?
That'd make a good hood ornament.
No it's still in the package. It probably is just a regular Spyro in the game. I have an extra Spyro that they sent me before the first E3 that they showed the first Skylanders, and they told me to bring it with me. But when I got there they said they changed some things in the game code so those they sent out didn't work.
What Skylander was that extra one?
It was just a Spyro.
how many skylanders are there total?
Portalcharacters.com says there are 350 total.
Jeez.
I realize now that it would've been good for me to stick to the holiday characters. That would be a list of only a couple dozen - nice and easy and no risk to the bank acccount.
