New Skylanders SuperChargers Toys

Summer is on it's way, and with that comes long days of trying to get the kids engaged in things, trying to keep them from losing their minds when it's a rainy day, and report cards.

I don't bribe my kids with getting good grade toys since I use to work my hardest and got a C+, then I would barely try and get a C-.  But my middle son sometimes struggles with being cooperative, and being a good sport.  He said he wants to be a great sport and if he got a super awesome report would I give him something special like a candy LOL So I thought the new Skylanders SuperChargers toys might be a good one to give as a bonus for improvement in those areas.

Since my son really loves racing and video games, this will be a good fit, plus it helps him to work on being a better sport without him realizing it.  I really like having things that are video game related for when we are cooped up inside due to weather in the summer.  Boys get really rowdy when cooped up, so after a while it's nice to say ok go play SuperChargers for a bit.  It gets out some of the energy, but makes it a bit quieter.

The 2 new toys are:

THRILLIPEDE

Thrillipede is a war hero with incredible piloting skills… and even more incredible juggling skills.

Thrillipede served in the Millipede Military in the outer regions of Skylands.  As the top pilot in his unit, Thrillipede was responsible for single-handedly blasting over 300 Greeble warships out of the sky!  When the Great Greeble War came to an end, he returned to his hometown of Flutter Bay as a celebrated hero.  He was the talk of the town and everyone wanted to shake the many hands of the famous young pilot.  News of his heroics eventually made their way to Captain Flynn at the Skylander Academy, who set out to determine if the stories were true.  In a series of friendly challenges, the two pilots raced, soared through obstacles, and performed incredible stunts in front of a cheering Flutter Bay crowd.  In each event, Thrillipede stood victorious, and was asked to join the Skylanders shortly after.  Of course, Flynn later admitted that he “let him win” so that Thrillipede wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of his hometown.

BUZZ WING

 

Buzz Wing is Thrillipede’s famous fighter plane.  After heroically blasting over 300 enemy jets in the Great Greeble War, it was put on display in the Millipede Museum.  But with Kaos on the loose again, it’s back in action and ready for more!
