What exclusive skylanders are there

The rarest of these figures is Ro-Bow because this was the very last Skylanders figure ever released. All of the Skylanders: Imaginators figures were difficult to find, but Ro-Bow was nearly impossible to get.

Around December , rumors began to fly around the Skylanders community that a mysterious Red Camo and Crystal Clear Whirlwind had surfaced. Initially, fans could not pin down where the figures were coming from and why they were so hard to find. Over the Summer of , Skylanders released three very rare figures for the Skylanders: Giants game. Only 1, units of each figure were produced and released to various retailers. Skylanders collectors had to hunt down these Metallic Purple variants, which now sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay.

While the Skylanders series was still very popular, Activision would occasionally give employees special edition figures. These figures were also flocked with glittery white snow. Although Activision never says how many of these limited edition figures they produce, it was estimated by Skylanders fans that around 8, Gold LightCore Prism Breaks were given out. While employees were probably told not to sell their exclusive Gold LightCore Prism Break figures, these still pop up on eBay from time to time.

A few years after Frito-Lay did its first Sklanders promotion, the popular chip brand did it again with the Fire Bone Hot Dog giveaway. Nintendo could have kicked Disney's ass. If I was running Nintendo I would have jumped on this.

Admittedly, Skylanders was a big risk for Activision which is what lead to Spyro the Dragon being implemented into the game in the first place , but it's a gamble that's ended up paying dividends for the company. Had Nintendo jumped in with Activision and invested in the product, it may have never reached the same level of success. Then again, it could have been a huge moneymaker for Ninty, but it's impossible to know at this point.

It's probable that the initial pitch and sequential success of Skylanders lead Nintendo to implementing scanning technology in the Wii U GamePad, which would then explain why the company opted out of investing with Activision. If that's the case, then it's a shame that the technology has been so under-utilized since its release. Source: Polygon.
