Skylanders Sidekicks: The Complete Collection

I had debated making this, but it already hit well beyond the "frequent" request among viewers...so, here it is:

Skylanders Sidekicks: The Complete Set of Eight
Barkley, Eye-Small, Gill Runt, Mini Jini, 
Terrabite, Trigger Snappy, Thumpling, and Whisper Elf

There is nothing groundbreaking here, but it is a nice, thorough look at the current Complete Set of Skylanders Sidekicks.  This, of course, entails both the new Skylanders Giants Sidekicks and the Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Sidekicks.



Just to recap, from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure we have:

Gill Runt, Sidekick to Gill Grunt

Terrabite, Sidekick to Terrafin

Trigger Snappy, Sidekick to Trigger Happy

Whisper Elf, Sidekick to Stealth Elf

And from Skylanders Giants, we have:

Barkley, Sidekick to Tree Rex

Eye Small, Sidekick to Eye-Brawl

Mini Jini, Sidekick to Ninjini

Thumpling, Sidekick to Thumpback

On an interesting note, despite having 8 Sidekicks, we see two Elements untouched in Air and Fire.  That said, Life and Water both claim two Sidekicks.

As popular as these have been, I would venture to guess we should see them return in Skylanders SWAP Force.  However, for the time being, this stands as the complete set.

If you need more info on how to obtain any of the Sidekicks, be sure to check the blog. You can also find detailed unboxings for each of the eight Sidekicks here on the blog, or my YouTube Channel.

Good luck completing your set!

Skylanders Sidekicks The Complete Set: Gill Runt, Terrabite, Trigger Snappy, Whisper Elf

Here is a look at all 4 of the Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Sidekicks:




If you recall, I only got 2 of the Sidekicks via the original Frito Lay promotion.  Luckily, thanks to this 2nd Round of GameStop bringing them back I now have the complete set.

The Sidekicks really add nothing to the gameplay...they just hurriedly follow you around often provoking laughs or comments of, "How cute!" from others.  I have gameplay footage of Terrabite and Trigger Snappy up in the SSA Playthrough...I'll try to record all 4 in action soon on the Giants playthrough.

The promotion that helped me land the little Skylanders is going on at GameStop through the end of May 2013...If you need anything I'd pick it up there and land the FREE Sidekick!  Good luck!
