Skylanders Spyros Adventure: Whirlwind

No

My son got into Skylanders about a year ago. I have been searching nonstop to fulfill his collection. He has all of the series 1 Skylanders and was are currently working on the series 2/Skylander Giants.

Thanks

This was my sons first Skylander. We got it for him because it, frankly, looked awesome. It is a girl character, but he doesnt care. Its just an interesting character and design. The girls like it, the boys like it. Its great. I hate how some games have designated girl characters that are pink with fairy wings and practically fart glitter. Those characters become forced on girls and avoided by boys like the plague. Yes, Whirlwind has a rainbow attack, but its not overly girly. My son and nephews love this character as do my friends daughters. Perfect for either gender and a blast to play.

Whirlwind is half dragon, half unicorn, wow... anyway, the primary attack is to shoot rainbows from her horn, I dont really like this attack since it shoots upward in a curve, therefore limiting the range. The secondary the attack is to release a storm cloud. It continues to shock enemies that touch it for a few seconds. If you buy the upgrades, you can have more than one storm cloud at once. Also, when you shoot a rainbow at the storm cloud, another rainbow bounces off. This is the only way to extend her rainbow of doom range. And obviously, since she has huge wings, the third move is to fly(I think Whirlwind flies pretty fast). My favorite part about her is that the soul gem ability allows her rainbows to HEAL ALLIES. This proves useful in boss battles, when you have a small amount of Skylanders still alive.

This is a Target exclusive I ordered it online for 7.99 from Target. I also received free shipping when I purchased him. I hope this helps everyone who wants one for their child.

well. i needed an air skylander. so i chose whirlwind. i was very happy about her moves. when fully upgraded. she becomes a reliable choice of air element skylanders. she can even heal her partners. sweet

I purchased the product for my daughter for her birthday. She was over the moon to receive it. She loves the Skylanders game and had been wanting the Whirlwind character. She has loved playing with it and upgrading it since that time.

Whirlwind is an exclusive character at this point at Target and Drill Sargent is an exclusive character at this point at Wal-Mart. There is no reason to spend more than the $7.99 price for individual Skylander characters (or $19.99 for the 3 character packs or the adventure expansion packs) as they are available at this point at brick and mortar retail. Amazon has the retail pricing on many of the items but not Whirlwind and Drill Seargent due to the exclusive tie-ins. Toys R US and Best Buy also have exclusive items that are only sold in there stores. This same online overpricing (above retail) occurred when Black Swan had a Target exclusive Blue Ray / DVD / Digital copy package and they inflated it dramatically online as the only option to buy it at retail was at Target .. dont fall for items selling online above the retail MSRP pricing!!

Anything Skylanders was a hit for my son. He loved having another character. The item was cheaper and the same quality as the local stores.
