Toys for Bob - Skylanders: SWAP Force Character Pack (Quick Draw Rattle Shake)

On a recent trip to America's Tech Headquarters, our son saw this piece of technological achievement and negotiated a peace accord in order to coerce his mother and I into purchasing this miraculous wonder and bringing it back to our domicile. I was informed by my son that this particular Skylander is "One million times better than the other Skylanders." I have no way of scientifically testing that theory, but he did play with this one for five whole minutes, as opposed to the three minutes of attention the other Skylanders received when they were first brought into the fray. Quick Draw appeared on screen exactly as he did in physical form and functioned correctly. But what is really impressive about Quick Draw is that after joining his fellow Skylanders on the bedroom floor of a six-year old, it doesn't hurt nearly as much when you step on him, versus the sheer pain and terror experienced after you step on his cohorts when responding to the calls for water and snacks coming from the evil genius that is operating down the hall from your room. Bottom line: Take this Skylander Home and leave your child on the shelf in its place. If you're lucky, the staff at Best Buy won't notice until you're miles down the road, smiling at your new found peace, quiet and freedom, while you look forward to playing Skylanders on your Xbox and not having to share with any greedy children.

This was a challenge to find. We looked at many different stores before finding it at Best Buy. The coloration is very strange and he's not as vivid as the yellow Rattle Shake, but you get some boosts in the game. When playing with this one he appears white on the screen which also makes it more difficult, particularly when you are in tight quarters or strange, gray lighting. Overall my son and I have enjoyed playing with this one and he gave us what we needed to unlock additional challenges.

Me and my boys have been waiting for this character to be re-release. We're glad it's finally here. This was an exclusive Frito lay chips character that you had to mail in after buying a pack. It's a glow in the dark skylander character. We love it.

This is a great variant on a Swap Force character. I really enjoy these glow in the dark variants. Really like this one over the regular version of Rattle Shake.

This character turned out to be my sons favorite. He can't stop playing with him!!!

I could spend all day telling you how awesome this one particular swap-force character is - but I won't because its just another swappable figure. If you don't have this one in your collection - buy it. If you do - buy it for someone else.

Exactly the same as original Rattle Shake, but recolored to be white and glows in the dark. The color swap extends to the character in-game as well.

This figure is the exact version given away by Frito Lay last year. The only difference between this figure and the regular version is that the toy is glow-in-the-dark and it has a bright white glow in the game itself.
