While the big news today is naturally the Dark Edition Starter Packs, don't miss out on this news.
Eon's Elite are coming back. This time, however, there are a few changes.
Change of Pose
Unlike the original eight Eon's Elite figures we saw last year, the new Eon's Elite are getting a bit of a repose.
So far they have announced:
[box]UPDATE: I have received confirmation that there will only be 6 new Eon's Elite Skylanders this year. This is the full line-up.[/box]Change of Location
The official press release states that,
The first wave of Eon's Elite characters – Slam Bam, Zook and Voodood – are Toys”R”Us exclusives and will be available starting November. The second wave of heroes, Ghost Roaster, Boomer and Dino-Rang, will be available in December.
So at least the first Wave of Eon's Elite will be exclusive to Toys R Us. I assume they all will be TRU Exclusives, but it's weirdly worded so I'm not 100% sure yet.
[box]UPDATE: I now have confirmation that the first Wave of 3 are the Toys R Us Exclusives. The remaining 3 (Ghost Roaster, Boomer, and Dino-Rang) will be available everywhere.[/box]Change of Price
The new MSRP for these figures will be $19.99.
It's still not ideal, but it's better.
Let's just hope that Toys R Us doesn't try to mark them up any more.
Now this I can get behind!! Ghost Roaster!!!! Yes!
Yyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeessssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! This is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that there will be one Eon’s Elite character for each of the original eight elements. (So not Light & Dark) And I think that they will be for all of the Forgotten Eight, except for Warnado, Camo, and Wham-Shell, because there were versions of them in SWAP Force. That would explain Activision’s choice of Slam Bam and Zook. So I believe that there will be an Eon’s Elite Sunburn. I’m so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Thoughts in One Word (Repose wise): Eh
wow. alot of skylanders i like. that is awesome. can’t wait for ghost roaster, boomer, voodood and dino rang.
Tell me the other three pleeeeesssee
I have a feeling that its going to be all of the forgotten 8 skylanders from spyro’s adventure
Finally, some rereleases worth getting. Last time we had the choice of a Wow Pow or 3x strength. Now we won’t have to worry about the former…unless they decide to release them again in the future
Yes and no
Boomer, Dino rang, ghost roaster and boomer… how stupidly random! If They’re trying to make money, they should make them the most popular characters! Zook is a great idea, and so is slam bam, but make the other ones skylanders with some rep like Prism Break, Sonic Boom, Cynder, Flameslinger, Double Trouble, and Drobot if you don’t want to make them the same ones as the superchargers!
Drobot FTW!!!
or Even Warnado!!
(Warnado Needs a Repose!)
Apparently there is only going to be 6 skylanders for the 2nd series for eons elite team, so fire and air are going to miss out. It tells us on the update on this page that there is only going to be 6
