There are extremely rare Skylanders unique to Imaginators. Custom Imaginators are 3D printed figures with NFC tech built in. You made these using the Skylanders Imaginators app that no longer exists and then you'd wait a few months for them to ship. Each custom and usable figure cost 50 bucks and had the option to have a custom card with another NFC chip inside. I say this because I have one and this vid reminded me of it.
So, the reason normal Chompy Mage is so expensive is because he was originally only released in an Amazon Bundle with characters that had already come out in a previous wave, so people more than likely already had those characters and didn't want to dish out extra money for duplicates which led to scalping in the first place.
Although toys to life was the gimmick of the series and it was fun back in the day, with the ridiculous price of literally everything these days I think the toys to life gimmick should not come back. But I think a New game in the series is not a bad idea, this is still a world with a set of characters that people grew up with, even without the money from toys I think a New skylanders game could make a lot of money from game sales alone
@@RussVandy Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if they just have set Skylanders to be developed through the story that you can play as, that would work out well
12:38 little thing no it wasn’t they wanted to make like 3 more skylanders games and for the music the original song writer from the other games had no idea this game was being made so other people just remixed old songs so yeah just wanted to clarify that
Is anybody noticing the TH-camrs are making content on Skylanders? It’s just coming back. I know there has to be something coming soon. I’m not talking just youtooz I’m talking something big.
Its mostly just nostalgia for people as skylanders is already like 10 years old already. I believe they said that there wont be any more MAINLINE skylanders games, so at most we'd get some spinoff. Then again they might just merge skylanders into something else and then say "oh no its not skylanders its something new!".
Yeah its definitely the nostalgia talking. Its old enough where we can look back now and we can say. "Damn...remember when that was a thing. That was my childhood."
How dare you call Broccoli Guy “Brocolli Man”!!!!!!!! JK, but I love their commentating on the arena battles.Also, the “abilities” you unlock from Soul Gems are called Soul Gem Upgrades. And the “abilities” that you buy with gold are called upgrades. Other than that, I think you did a decent job.
Had issue with the game making the Sensei's and Imaginators over powered on purpose. Made the older Skylanders obsolete, even though some still hold up like Trigger Happy.
Skylanders is my childhood, I played Giants to Imaginators but didn't beat imaginators yet. I'm currently playing my games again and wished on my X-mas list that I want Spyro's adventure. I like the toys to life conspet and sad to see if go years back. I didn't get Imaginators on switch, so I didn't know about these changes
P.S. I do like the concept of Imaginators but with the story for Imaginators did feel kinda strange, Skylanders Academy show going around the same time trying to implement some important characters as narrators, it didn’t feel right
I have Skylanders Imaginators on the old Wiiu but since Imaginators looks sooo good on the switch I’ve been looking everywhere in trying to find the game only I already have the Skylanders figures.
I think the one thing skylanders Imaginators did right was the original skylanders. It easily has my favorite original skylanders in the whole series, and the creation gimmic is so much fun (just wish you could reset them without abusing a glitch). Although, my top two favorite skylanders also just so happen to be two of the big three, so the skylanders definitely price people out of the game…
Fun Fact! Skylanders wasn't the first game to be in the Toys to Life genre! That title actually belongs to UB Funkeys, created by Mattel and Arkadium! It was made in 2007 and was discontinued in 2010. Granted, they didn't have groundbreaking save data with NFC that the Skylanders figurines have! If you want to be super technical, the founding father of this genre technically belongs to R.O.B. in the NES era. Thought I'd share :)
Shame it isn't on the Estore I didn't know the switch version saved figures like that, thats pretty cool. Think Skylanders also had mobile and pc versions, but i've never tried them.
This game is my jam, I play every night still to this day -- and yes, it is expensive o.o I'm also on the switch. I made my own custom nfc card for my crystal character... he lives on permanently lol
The figures cost so much because of supply and demand, and because when you buy a costly figure chances are that you can get your money back or even make more when selling it again.
Probably around launch, I remember finding it one of the few times I’ve ever been to Best Buy for $20. my two main Best Buy memories are that, and going at 9am when ninjini came out
For me I have the switch version of imaginators and the good thing about this game was I was able to preserve my old collection and my friends collections and then was able to sell most of mine afterwards so in that case it was good and this is the most definitive way to play any of the games now that the tablet versions are no longer supported and the other versions don’t have this saved library feature glad I got it when I did bc if I got it now I would have to take out a loan just to get another copy lmao
I was lucky I got the switch version cause that’s very very rare now like eBay is going insane and an interesting that bowser and donkey Kong can be playable on the switch
I never got to play a Skylanders game. My parents never bought me the game growing up and now i my mid 20's people are asking for ridiculous prices that don't seem worth the money in todays economy.

You could also make them in-game and order them online that way.
The app still works, I use it on my android. but I make my own NFC cards (the online store is just not active anymore)
@ you still have it! Lucky, android’s App Store is goated.
Only game we’re crash , Spyro , donkey Kong and bowser are in a game together
true, we need more
I honestly wish we had more crossovers instead of just being locked to smash or obscure DLC
though it would be cool to see Crash and Spyro in Smash 6
Damn it sakurai why hasn’t he done this
I can one up you on this Fortnite has way more Collabs, even though Skylanders is better
I never thought i’d see such horrendous grammar

I still play this out of mini-nostalgia. I also remember the announcement of Bowser and DK being the only E3 announcement I cared about that time
What is mini nostalgia
I remember that announcement, that was a crazy day lol
Although toys to life was the gimmick of the series and it was fun back in the day, with the ridiculous price of literally everything these days I think the toys to life gimmick should not come back.

That would be a really good idea actually
@@RussVandy Yeah, I'm pretty sure that if they just have set Skylanders to be developed through the story that you can play as, that would work out well
@aurorawizard7045that literally defeats the whole purpose of skylanders
@@Fob327 it's just what Skylanders has to do to make a comeback
I played it on Wii U in December 2016-January 2017. I got my Switch in April 2017 so I should've waited for the Switch version.
12:38 little thing no it wasn’t they wanted to make like 3 more skylanders games and for the music the original song writer from the other games had no idea this game was being made so other people just remixed old songs so yeah just wanted to clarify that

Finally a good skylander video from someone who isn't in the community.
And it's not not a "skylanders downfall" video.

@@Shojiki64 what are you doing here
@taylorkreate i don't have a life so i watch TH-cam and Netflix most of my day
@ same but also i have way too much to do

True
9:51 Fun Fact: Wendel is a Supporting Character who’s appeared way before imaginators. He first appeared in the 3DS Version of Spyro’s Adventure.
7:03 "Konkey Donk"
When you do the 3DS games, go easy on swap-force, it's actually pretty dope for what it is!

i have a very normal amount of obsession with this plastic figures
This is amazing!!
But i didn't know even this game released on the switch
Take 1 shot every time you hear "although" in the game.
Russ Vandy does Skylanders content???
*Subscribed
🎉
Whaat?! I never knew that came on switch... I thought it's literally like dead-
it is dead. the game came out back in 2017, alongside the switch.
It was like one of the launch titles for the Switch.
@@JUMPYCOOL never really heard of it when it released.
@@twiphe4375 yea ik, but i thought it was dead before this Game...

Can't figure out if the wedding bit is real or not
Oh it’s real😁
This game is my jam, I play every night still to this day -- and yes, it is expensive o.o I'm also on the switch. I made my own custom nfc card for my crystal character... he lives on permanently lol
Please review the 3ds games 😭
I’m on it🫡
dont be dissing my pookie bear lego dimensions like this😭😭😭
Your stupid game and Disney Infinity and Amiibos were the reason Skylanders died 😡😡😡
@ yeah my b i never played skylanders
The figures cost so much because of supply and demand, and because when you buy a costly figure chances are that you can get your money back or even make more when selling it again.
I loved this game as a kid
Hopefully they will finally be a Skylanders game for the switch 2
Pleeeeease!
Probably around launch, I remember finding it one of the few times I’ve ever been to Best Buy for $20.
my two main Best Buy memories are that, and going at 9am when ninjini came out
Dude I just went again and ran into a old friend from elementary school! Best Buy is awesome!
Poppy playtime chapter 1-3 on switch. And fnaf security breach Ruin! You should review both
Those are great suggestions! Thanks for the recommendations😄
@ I gotchu
Man i love skylanders trap team and super chargers story
I got my Skylanders Imaginators for Switch back in like 2019 and it was like 35 Bucks and i still have it sealed
For me I have the switch version of imaginators and the good thing about this game was I was able to preserve my old collection and my friends collections and then was able to sell most of mine afterwards so in that case it was good and this is the most definitive way to play any of the games now that the tablet versions are no longer supported and the other versions don’t have this saved library feature glad I got it when I did bc if I got it now I would have to take out a loan just to get another copy lmao
His bank account〽️
Skylanders reference?
if this game wasn't so expensive to buy I'd have it in my collection
Yeah most skylanders fans have imaginators as their least favorite with a few exceptions (Cloudbreaker, SGTV)
12:08 1000x Aura 🫡
I was lucky I got the switch version cause that’s very very rare now like eBay is going insane and an interesting that bowser and donkey Kong can be playable on the switch
I LOVE SKYLANDERS
legendary trigger happy and enchanted star strike are my favourites
If i had known this was on the nintendo switch i would have tried it
My dog chewed up my dark turbo charge donkey Kong😢
😭
My fave was Kaos. I lost several of them through moves and now I stopped trying to get that game...........
Woah bro can’t trash talk my boy CHILL BILL and get away with this
🤫
Imaginators feels slow and boring, but I don't remember the older games because I was too young when playing so it is fun till you get too bored of it
Also I bought the switch version while it was still 16 dollars at Walmart
I wanna know what you think of my fav in the series: Spyro's adventure, i think it has the best cast, story and soundtrack
Stay tuned! I’m releasing a video on all of them😄
proud green chompy mage owner
I never got to play a Skylanders game. My parents never bought me the game growing up and now i my mid 20's people are asking for ridiculous prices that don't seem worth the money in todays economy.
I have paid 20$ for this game it includes 4 figures, the cortex crash, donkey Kong and Bowser this year.
🙌
barkley my beloved ❤️🌳
I remember this from primary school!
Yeah imaginaters was a disappointment I really had fun creating my own Skylanders but after that I cant say much good about it.
For the switch version do you need the toys and the base?
Watch the video 😅… but yes
Could someone walk into a used video game store and scan in all the skylanders
I got it for $10 at a Toys "R" Us lol
When it comes to sencis I love flare wolf and trap team blades the dragon knight
How do you play it when you don't want to buy a figurine?
You dont
Skylanders were so great.
I found this game for 80 euro's don't regret it at all
I would get this game for switch but I ain’t paying 300 bucks for it
I watched the cartoon and it’s better than this game plot wise
Got it in toys r us
Sad to say i have a coupke of the dragon figurines if i had kneown about these i could have bought more lol
Now my question is that is it worth it?
Hmmmm…. Not for over $100
@RussVandy it us funny i am a dragon figurine collector and i have a couple of these lol
I am so happy I bought it new when it came out, I ain't paying 200 for honestly the worst skylanders
Probably one of the top 10 worst thumbnails I ever saw this year.
Why?
Whyyyyyy
8:14 blobbers
👀
How can you play Skylanders on Nintendo switch?
… eBay?
Imaginators is the worst game in the franchise. I’ve recently opted to sell my Imaginators collection while keeping everything else
no hate but why are all intros edited so obnoxiously these days? this ain't shorts bro.
Oh god i ever wonder where I’ve seen this… ugh this is getting tiring
wdym
😅bruh… I know I know
Couldn’t continue to watch the video too much noise too much loud too much music
yayyy
It is a kids game. Grow up.
