Man, when Disney Infinity folded I remember their toys going such a deep discount. I never played the game but I loved having Venom on my desk. I always liked the art style.

Toy's to life is such an important genre to me and my years of playing video games. I played Skylanders with my mum in the Hospital's gaming room and it was the first time I played an Xbox. The first game that was mine on the Wii was Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions was a game I'd play with my best friend whenever I was at his house.

I think part of the problem was that it was real-life pay-to-play. Every time someone wanted to play as a new character they couldn't just select them from the character screen, instead you had to buy an upwards of 20 dollar figurine to get the full functionality of the game. Skylanders was pretty insidious about this, locking dozens of collectables behind having a specific skylander type on hand at any given type. DLC is one thing. I don't like paying 5 dollars for a single character in guilty gear, but at least once I hit "Purchase" I immediately get access to the character. But imagine if you wanted to unlock Baiken and you had to either A. Wait four days to a week depending on shipping, or B. cart yourself to wal-mart in order to pick up your new character. For the new kids just getting into the series it's fine; "Hey new toys" and all that. But when you're on the third/fourth game and you have to buy ANOTHER 60-some dollar starter set that includes a portal with the newest gimmick, be it traps or imaginator crystals or Giants or whatever, and you have to buy three or four new skylanders to interact with all the new stuff they put in this time around, well I could see why eventually it would stop selling as well.

Skylanders I think it was the gimmick of the game not being carried on. Giants were useful (I guess) for the giants game that's it, no giants were ever needed past that. Never felt rewarded for having those gen two or three skylanders in Gen 4, five, and six, trap to team to superchargers is what killed me going crazy for my kids. The trapped villains not carrying over in a significant fashion was just to pricey.. It was a weird a place as a parent for me but that is where the financial lane came for me. Disney infinity loved the art style to and bought a couple figures but outside the story packs wasn't "demographic" friendly and the kiddos didn't like the story packs because of the character locks. Lego dimensions my kids loved but I think Zack nailed that one on the head more or less the content packs was of content my kids didn't care about and if they did there was already a Lego stand alone game of that content that was bigger and better....looking at you Lego batman

@@karalas Yeah, as someone who has the OG Skylanders figures and only stopped after Trap Team, I'm actually glad I my brother and I dropped off. It's one of those moments where I somewhat understood why my mom hated Skylanders with a passion. Long story short, my parents' divorce was messy, and mom couldn't really afford us stuff like games due to our financial situation, so dad decided to use this as an opportunity to be the "fun dad" and get us whatever games we wanted. Even then, in hindsight I wouldn't be surprised if dad himself was like "what the fuck, why are they 15 bucks a pop?" While I do not like how mom flat out dismissed me and my brothers' enjoyment of the game being the reason why we got those models and chalking it all up to dad wanting to spite her, I will admit that being more financially aware now.... those models were a fucking money sink. I still need to take that garbage bag of Disney Infinity and Skylanders Figures to a local gaming shop to sell them. Dimensions was kind of the last Toys to Life game we ever got, and even then, we never really finished that game, and those are the only figures we are NOT getting rid of because they're Lego. I think for Disney Infinity's problem, they only got their footing on game three. Even then, the lack of story pack backwards compatibility, the inability to play characters on other story worlds that weren't from that story, and the fact the main world was just so.... BORING is what killed it. I mean as someone who has downloaded the online maps other players made, it got boring really quick. Those tiny little sidekicks were just dull. The fact that we didn't even really get NPC counterparts of the player models, which would have led to some cool interactions, is so disappointing. It feels like Disney Crossover Games are so.... needlessly limited. I mean the one game I can think of that actually feels somewhat close to a proper crossover game where you could interact with the characters is Dreamlight Valley. Even then, you don't really truly interact with them outside of activities and quests as well as them following you around. Do I want an old-Bioware like game where you could have deep conversations with characters and actually CONNECT with them? Hell yeah! That would be so cool. Yet it seems like the closest we'll ever get is Character AI, and that's depending on if the bots are even good.

With Lego, the starter pack includes 3 characters who already had Lego sets and Lego games. Majority of the other characters did not have Lego sets or a Lego game. So to get an exclusive minifig (that wasn't normally in Lego sets) you'd have to buy other packs. I wanted the Doctor Who packs more than I wanted the game. Later on I ended up getting a huge bundle with the game and half of the characters and after playing it I can say it is one of the best Lego games out there in terms of being a Lego game. Each world is lovingly crafted with many references and Easter Eggs to the source material that world is based on. The Lego Sonic level is considered one of the best Sonic games. The Doctor Who level is basically perfection. The Portal level actually feels like Portal and will be the closest thing we get to Portal 3. These ARE some of the best levels in Lego games, hidden behind a NFC paywall. (In my opinion) If it weren't for Disney Infinity we MAY have gotten some Disney Lego properties in Dimensions. Lego Darth Vader packs would sell more than Lego Sloth lets be honest.

Lego dimensions is my all time favourite game and it’s so sad that it had to be cancelled. Such love and care went into every single franchise that I couldn’t help but love it (at least in year 1 of release. Year 2 definitely took a dip in quality). Swing my all time favourite franchise in Scooby Doo get its own level and open world with dozens of references in a LEGO game of all things was amazing. Lego dimensions Scooby Doo even has a unique headpiece which was totally not necessary considering the regular LEGO Scooby Doo sets were releasing around that time. I also think the portal gimick worked best for this franchise as all the puzzles revolve around moving characters around and I think they’re some of the best puzzles in the Lego game franchise. While it was ultimately far too pricy in the end, Lego dimensions will always hold a special place in my heart and I always enjoy returning to it for another playthrough

*Lego Dimensions:* You only needed 1 character per priority, from Story Pack character to the comparably best of Adventure Pack. Also overpriced. *Disney Infinity:* 90% false advertising, possibilities were actually finite, and characters were practically the same 3 archtypes, so buying anyone outside of the Starter Pack was completely pointless. *Skylanders:* Superchargers unlockables were randomized and no longer character-dependent, causing shelfwarming and further saturation no thanks to the other 2

A very interesting event regarding the Toy-to-Life era was the collaboration between Skylanders and Nintendo. For the Wii U version of Skylanders Super Chargers, they made what is essentially a fusion between a Skylander figure and an Amiibo Figure. Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser, they made a guest appearance for the game. You could have the figure be placed on the portal and work like any other Skylander. But they added a switch that allowed you to use the figure as an Amiibo as well. So a two for one deal.

One of the big problems was the rate of release. I remember collecting every Disney Infinity 1.0 figure when it came out back in the day. When 2.0 dropped, I just couldn’t do it anymore The other problem is the physical space. I’m something of a collector, but I can’t rationalize keeping a bunch of figures and the base for a game I don’t play anymore around. Now that all three Disney Infinity games are on Steam with every character unlocked, I have genuinely no use for them and the second-hand prices aren’t great, so it’s hard to even sell them all

When I was a kid, I was heavily into Skylanders. I did my hardest to collect them all(and did collect all of the first game Skylanders). Honestly though, the yearly released burned me out. Once I collected all of the first series, I basically lost interest in collecting the rest. And then by the third game, was just bored. I also remember getting Disney infinity. I enjoyed it at first and enjoyed seeing all the player creations. But honestly, I don’t know why Disney went hard on focusing on the brands they owned. Once they focused on Star Wars and marvel, it just didn’t really feel Disney to me

At 6:20, this is actually false as well. With Skylanders, there were sets called Adventure Packs that when placed on the portal unlocked new levels that were just side stories places outside of the main one. Spyros adventure had 4 of these, and while they weren’t required to reach 100%, what was required were the elemental gates. Elemental gates where in each level, and they required a skylander matching of the matching element to enter, IE you needed an earth skylander to enter an earth gate. These gates had a lot of the collectables hidden behind them such as chests or hats and were required to fully 3-star a level. Since the starter pack only came with 3 skylanders, you would need to buy at least 5 more, each with a different element to fully unlock what was there.

I miss the charm that Toys to Life had. I'm glad Nintendo's still in the game as the victor as they're the only brand I ever bought, but they aren't producing as much as they were back then, potentially hinting at them slowly dying down on production. Though then again, they have been restocking some old 'miibs lately - I recently got the Smash versions of Luigi and Bowser, finally completing my Smash amiibo collection after 9 years. So relieving, yet surreal to finally finish what I've started doing for nearly a decade.

I still love Amiibo and have found as many opportunities as I could to collect ones of characters and franchises I really care about. I’m still looking for the likes of Palutena and Wild and even want to get some like TOTK Zelda and Ganondorf someday. Even back then, I felt Nintendo did the toys to life concept best for only using them for bonuses and side modes and not trying to make their own equivalent of Skylanders (heck they flat out collaborated with them in 2015). Though yeah, there isn’t as much buzz around them as there previously was aside from Smash Bros. Aside from that the idea of toys being mandatory to play a game didn’t sit well with even back then and I am not surprised that everything that could go wrong with them did. Darn shame.

I'm not sure if we should still even consider Amiibo a toys-to-life product. Sure, you can still use them for that, but I don't think many people actually end up using their Amiibos. I think they just like collecting them. Also, you did mention Guitar Hero and Fortnite... I think Fortnite Festival could revive those types of rhythm games (at least going into full swing after instrument support is added), as its been a while since the last Guitar Hero/Rock Band, so the fatigue has long passed. Maybe something similar could happen with toys-to-life as well, seeing as it's been a while since any of those too

Lego Dimensions still needs a 2016 update, seriously, Idk about you but they were really exprnsive and then i couldn't do part if the game because 1. It needed and update and to this day I haven't updated it and 2. I need to buy a character I didn't want to get to complete a ceetain part of the game... I also consider this game Portal 2.5 and LEGO's Crisis on infinite earths

Skylanders is hands down my favorite game since my childhood! The best toys to life game I ever experienced. I also once got into Disney Infinity, but I completely lost interest in it, because I'm heavily more into Skylanders. It is really sad that the toys to life genre discontinued despite having 6-7 years of a lifespan. Well, now with Microsoft owning Activision *and* Toys for Bob being an indie studio (but still collaborating with Activision), I really wish they brought Skylanders back! Since there are no news, I have decided to come up with my own idea for a new Skylanders game that can revive the franchise! Let you know, it's a spin-off game, but is connected! Allow me to share to you my idea of a Skylanders spin-off game that can revive the franchise I call it: *Skylanders Eclipse* It is a spinoff that *solely* focuses on the dark and light elements. Why, well ever since they were introduced in Trap Team, Superchargers and Imaginators, they overall had the *LEAST* amount of skylanders! So, not only will my spinoff bring back the skylanders franchise, but also give the dark and light elements more collectional variety and love/attention! The roster will be 32 total (similar to the SSA roster, but also includes the "gimmick"landers) (16 each) and will consist of Eight Core Skylanders One Giant Two Swap Force (new swappabilites will be Gravitate and Rhythm) One Trap Master Two Minis One Supercharger One Sensei (Light Bazooker and Dark Quickshot) Here's the storyline: the main villainess is: *Empress Eclipta* she was once a standard Drow Witch who her and her Drow legion served under Lord Kaos! However, as Kaos failed to conquer Skylands, she then went off on her own to find another evil plan to rid the Skylanders! That's when she stumbled upon a book that contained eclipse magic. First, she started practicing solar magic, later on lunar magic. After her years of mastering eclipse magic, she then began her true intention: merging both the sun and the moon together in creating a total annular eclipse so powerful, it'll *eradicate* all of Skylands! I'm also bringing back PVP battle mode, Heroic Challenges, Swap Zones, race zones (excluding Land since it only associates with Fire, Earth, Tech and Undead), basically *everything* from the past six installments, but put in a dark and light standpoint. Lastly, Knight Mare, Knight Light, Spotlight, Blackout, Astroblast, Nightfall, Aurora, Starcast, Blaster Tron, and Hood Sickle will be playable in the game. So, what do you think? Please be honest.

Love the idea of focusing on light and dark! And the PVP mode was lowkey my favorite part, so bringing that back would be amazing

Skylanders was great, but it doesn't count as a Spyro game in my opinion. Hope we get another true Spyro game soon.

Love the video, but maybe dont stand in front of the screen. It is very awkward placement. Take a seat or something. Relax dude.
