Embark on an exciting new adventure with the Skylanders and the SWAP Force. For generations, the SWAP Force protected the volcano that replenishes Skylands? magic. That is until an epic battle caught them in an eruption that blasted them apart, sent them to Earth and gave them the ability to swap powers. Only you can mix and match their tops and bottoms, put them on the new Portal of Power? and save Skylands.
In our household, Skylanders is talked about constantly. My little guy is a huge fan and has played the Giants version since it came out. Last year, when Skylanders SWAP Force? ?2013, MEGA Brands Inc. ?2013 Activision Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved was announced, Sonshine begged to watch the promo video every single day! So it was of no surprise to me or the kid that dad brought home SWAP Force the day it came out. But, before you think I just let him veg out on the t.v. all day playing games, Sonshine also loves to build things with his Mega Bloks he’s had since his first birthday! He’s turning four this week and it was a lot of fun to bring two of his favorite things together with Mega Bloks and Skylanders Swap Force.
To celebrate this release of Skylanders Swap Force, Mega Bloks has brought out a whole new line featuring some of the new favorites from the game! Sonshine was so excited to get the Mega Bloks Skylanders SWAP Force Boss Tank Showdown featuring Wash Buckler and Evil Glumshanks. If you haven’t played the video game yet, Wash Buckler is one of the swappable characters. He’s this swashbuckling pirate octopus dude and he can be switched top to bottom with another Swap Force character to create a whole new array of good guys! And the Mega Bloks Swash Buckler is no different, the Mega Bloks ones can be switched back and forth too. If you’re a fan of the whole game line, you’ll recognize Glumshanks, who is the right hand “man” to Kaos, the main baddie of the Skylanders. Only now, Glumshanks has been “evilized” and is now out to get the Skylanders in his tank.
There are 205 pieces in the Mega Bloks kit, so my almost four year old needed help assembling the tank and wall. Suggested ages are five and older, but I could see most kids needing help as it took my husband a little while to put the tank together, although that may have been the “help” he was getting from Sonshine.
There is a working cannon on the tank that can be launched into a breakable wall. That was probably Sonshine’s favorite part! He also loved re-enacting the boss scene from the video game itself and defeating Glumshanks to prove a point go Master Kaos – Darkness will never win with the Skylanders Swap Force around!
With the holidays right around the corner, grabbing a few of these sets would be great for any little Skylanders Swap Force fan out there! Swapping the Skylanders, setting up scenes straight from the game, or even creating their own adventures would be hours of fun! And to help you get started, I’ve got a great giveaway for the same set we reviewed below!
