Silver
Skylanders are very popular with people wanting to complete their Skylanders
collections. There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, these metallic toys
look awesome! Activision really did a good job making the silver figures look
really cool. Secondly, not many of these figures were actually produced, and so
they are extremely rare.
All
of the Silver Skylanders figures are from the original Skylanders: Spyro's
Adventure game. As yet none have been released for Skylanders Giants. There are
three silver figure in all: Silver Eruptor, Silver Boomer and Silver Dino Rang.
The Silver figure appeared randomly on store shelves next to their regular
versions. Stores themselves had no idea which silver figures they would
receive. Most of these Silver toys were snapped up immediately, and shortly
after, many started appearing on sites such as eBay and Amazon at ridiculously
high prices. Today you can still get these three elusive figures, if you are
prepared to pay a lot of money for them!
Silver
Dino Rang
Silver
Dino Rang is basically the same as a regular Dino Rang figure, but painted
silver. I have got to say Silver Dino Rang does look pretty awesome. The entire
figure, even the base is covered in silver paint. The only color on the toy is
the green plastic at the bottom of the base. Dino Rang is an Earth element
Skylander that looks like a warrior dinosaur, and does look pretty cool in
silver. However, please remember that even though the silver figures look
pretty awesome, and very different to their regular versions, they all look
exactly the same as their regular figures in the video game itself.
Silver
Eruptor
Eruptor
is one of my favorite Skylanders, so I was really pleased to see a silver
version. Eruptor is a fire element Skylander who is basically made of lava. The
silver version of the figure really does look very cool, and he does look like
he could be made of molten silver!
Silver
Boomer
Skylanders
Boomer is a comical looking figure, who holds sticks of dynamite in his hands.
I was quite surprised that Activision decided to make a silver version of him,
but it worked out really well. Both Boomer, and Dino Rang are not actually in
the Skylanders Giants game, and so regular versions of these figures are less
common too, but of course don't command the high prices of the silver ones.
We
still don’t know if there will be any more Silver Skylanders. As I mentioned
above there are none yet in the Skylanders Giants game. Activison, announced a
couple of weeks ago that there will be a third Skylanders game, called
Skylanders Swap Force. Hopefully we might see some more awesome silver figures in
the future.
