Skylanders Spyros Adventure: Whirlwind

Love it was exactly what my nephews wanted for christmas and cant wait to see them open them on christmas day.

My kids got Skylanders for Christmas and they really enjoy it. Whirlwind was purchased for my daughter so she could have a girly character to play.

Please do not buy from this seller, if you really want this insanely overpriced character of average abilitys, hold of until the end of January when it will be readily availible for 7.99.

Very cool

This was released this week to be sold exclusively by a well known discount retailer in the U.S. Almost immediately I saw on message boards people begging folks to sell them theirs so they could resell them. So if you find one, get it...

Son loved it

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.

I got a Whirlwind right before all the hype started and this figure is absolutely beautiful. Whirlwinds attacks are like a whole bunch of rainbow explosions which is great for taking out huge groups of enemies.

Whirlwind (an Air Skylander) is one of several dragon hybrids in Skylanders, dragon and unicorn to be specific. According to her backstory she is initially shunned by both dragons (who dislike her horn) and unicorns (who are unimpressed with her majestic wings) but upon soaring up into the clouds she learned to harness her tempest abilities and save both races from being hunted, thusly earning their respect.

I USED THIS TOY AS A REWARD FOR MY SON FOR MAKING ALL AS ON HIS REPORT CARD, AND BOTH OF US COULDNT BE ANY HAPPIER WITH THIS CHOICE!!!!
