Toys to Life - Scott The Woz

Scott learns how to chase waste.
Special thanks to Zak and Make-A-Wish! Over the summer, Make-A-Wish contacted me about Zak and it was one of the coolest experiences meeting him. He requested a Scott The Woz episode on Skylanders: Trap Team back in June, but I asked if Toys to Life in general would be okay considering it would be tough to do an episode on its own about just that one game. Zak played Dex Mohs in this episode!

You forgot to mention that Disney Infinity had a much sweeter ending. After announcing the discontinuation of the series, Disney ported all the games to PC, titled the Gold Editions. Every single character, play set, and power piece was all unlocked at the start and each game is only $30. Although the Gold Edition games do have some content that was missing from the original console releases, the Apolo mod for Disney Infinity 3.0 is a fanmade mod that aims to add in all the characters not included in the PC port. There's also a ton of scrapped, cancelled or unused content and characters that have been restored to full functionality! If you want to play Disney Infinity without the hassle of individually buying everything, get the Gold Editions.

[@xsoultillerx]

it's still kinda greasy they didn't release just an all in one gold edition. i seriously didn't know you couldn't use older play sets in the newer games until this video. do the mods at least remove the no crossover restrictions?

It was a mistake for Disney to make this an annual franchise. 2.0 made sense as a next-gen upgrade, but after that they should just focus on releasing figures and campaigns.

[@joekreissl4499]

ive been looking in to it out of nostalgia and there is a massive community dedicated to this game. i wonder what it could have been like

[@LordPichuPal]

@@Golemoid It's kind of like the approach Harmonix took with Rock Band, after seeing how quickly Activision took their original vision (Guitar Hero) and drove it deep and hard into the ground. The influx of music games with plastic instrument controllers at the time was getting exhausting for people. And recognizing this, they decided Rock Band 4 is the last game, and they'll just keep supporting it with new music and updates as long as they can. So that all you need is the instruments for the current console you have it for, instead of needing new stuff every year.

To this day I'm sad that they never released the Rogue One DLC for Infinity. That had potential.

I will say this about Skylanders, they had a lot of guts and creativity to go all out and created a billion dollar franchise while being a totally independent IP. Lego Dimensioned and Disney Infinity were replying on heavily established franchises and worlds to sell their toys, but Skylanders started from nothing except for Spyro's name and somehow managed to create an entire universe. Like I can't even imagine how many resources went into creating the 32 original characters and the 100+ characters that came after that. Scott was a bit harsh on their looks and names but to kids who played this game when it came out, these Skylanders were the newest iteration of Pokemon. Every single Skylander looked so different and played so different with unique attacks and abilities. You didn't have to get them all, but as a kid, you sure felt like you did and they really made the game come alive. It was not just a forgettable kids game, it was a solid story that you played through with heroes that you chose to play as. I got a sizable number of Skylanders and no two ever felt like copies or even mimics, they were all incredibly distant and such joys to play as. And being able to play as different characters was replay value all in itself and well worth the 10 dollar price tag. This level of quality stayed consistent across all the games and the backwards compatibility was beyond compare. For the figure you got in 2011 to be just as valuable and playable as a figure you got in 2016 was applaudable in a very mark. Overall, I will always have very fond memories or Skylanders, the best toys to life game without a doubt. They started with nothing but, through crazy marketing, characters, and quality control, managed to create something that every kid who lived in the early 2010 will remember. There really was a magic to the early toys to life and will always be grateful that Skylanders let me experience that.

As a guy born 2004, I believe that Skylanders defined a big part of the people born in the mid 2000's. It was THE game people played because of a concept that we thought should not be possible.

It's the same problem that killed Guitar Hero, funnily enough another Activision franchise. Instead of taking their time with releasing new games to not only ensure quality, but to prevent their demographic from getting burnt out on new entries with their own new toys to buy, they annualized it and milked it until they not only ran the franchise into the ground, but the entire genre it started, just like their idiotic "let's release ten Guitar Hero games in the span of a year" practice that killed the music sim genre.

Honestly, my brother and I got HOURS of fun and enjoyment from all three versions of Disney Infinity (which we had all of and played on the Wii/WiiU. we even pooled months' worth of chore money to buy 3.0 ourselves). We only had maybe ten characters (not including starter pack characters), but we just kind of kicked it in the Toy Box and made maps and challenges for ourselves the best we could; literally not caring about anything else in the game nor how other aspects of the game even worked. Truly some of my fondest early gaming memories. It was surprisingly magical as a kid, and even though I absolutely recognize the problems nowadays, it's (1.0 and 3.0 especially) still probably one of my top games purely in the realm of nostalgia. Love the video!!

[@NichePlays]

Oh man this was a trip down memory lane for me since I worked at a Toys R Us while I was in college and got to live through the toys to life craze at its peak. The games were fine but you could tell that it was just a prettied up version of micro transactions that kids were crazy about, parents hated, and made our lives miserable due to how confusing it was to keep track of all the different figures and games that they did/didn’t work on. I still look back on it fondly though, I guess. There was this divorced dad who used to take his really shy son there on Saturday’s to pick out a new sky lander every so often that I got to know well and genuinely miss talking to sometimes. He was a swell dude and I even remember him bringing me a cup off hot cocoa once as a thank you for always recognizing him and being nice to his son

From what I understand about Disney Infinity from interviews, one of the main reasons there weren't crossovers is because it was a paperwork nightmare. People think licensing Disney stuff is bad outside of the company, but apparently it's just as bad inside as well. I remember a developer essentially saying it would be easier to license Michael Jackson's likeness for a one-off character he did for Disney than it would be to get a specific version of Mickey Mouse.

14:53 Someone should make a game in the style of Toys For Life (but maybe without actual toys, but just have them ingame, and make you unlock them by playing it) and have characters like the swap-force characters. It's such a fun mechanic. Imagine what you could do nowadays with such an idea. Yes a big part of the charm was that you actually swapped the parts in real life, but even then

[@GoldTheWriter]

There was a game called Starlink: Battle for Atlas they essentially did this. It was a space ship exploration action game that was extremely modular. You chose your pilot, your ship base, your wings, and your weapons, all of which you would actually put together in real life. The Nintendo switch version even had Starfox in the game, with the campaign story itself even being different and integrating Starfox characters into it. And, on top of that, when you scanned in your various ship parts, you would then be able to go into your menu and switch between parts you had scanned in without needing to constantly take apart and swap the physical toy if you felt like it. They even had the ability to let you just buy digital versions of the toy parts, allowing you to play the entire game without ever actually having to own one of the toy ships. It was a really cool concept for a game that unfortunately came out during the death of toys to life as a concept. In many ways I consider it to be the last big attempt at a toys to life game. It's massive sales failure made it pretty clear that toys to life as an era if gaming was over, and that not even a game that technically was a long awaited sequel to Starfox could change that.

Giants is only around $8 you should really get it it's such a good game! And the nightmare mode is insanely fun and challenging

@ Asriel OnKZbin Giants was my first Skylanders game. I almost collected all of the Giants, but the only one I couldn’t find was that whale guy ( I forget his name).

[@GoreyBits]

I collected all of the STARLINK toys because I loved playing the game with Fox McCloud.

[@Goggleman7]

The best was having him integrated into the story and cutscenes will full voice acting so he didn't seem like an out of place guest character that's just there magically.

[@tomthespaceknerd5396]

I started collecting them about a year ago, once I found out how cheap they all are at this point. I even bought it for both the Switch and PS4 just to get both default ships. I currently have 6 ships, 9 pilots and a bunch of weapon packs. And they make a nice display when I'm not using them. It's actually a pretty good game. Certainly the best Star Fox game in years.

I bought the digital versions when I saw that was an option

[@drewtaylor6919]

I bought and enjoyed Starlink on Switch digital with no toys. Can confirm it's a pretty good game. You can fly into and out of planet's atmospheres. I was not expecting that from a Switch title.

[@FinnGreenland]

Seeing these games invokes so much nostalgia, I loved this series. Me and my brother played the hell out of our Wii and I remember we had superchargers but no portal or cars and I remember how happy I was when we finally did get them. (We played it twice.)

Sad to see Dimensions get dunked on so much, I still think it was the best toy to life game out of the main three because of the amount of world's and characters it offered that could interact, I collected so many of the packs especially for characters that will never get a set like Beetlejuice. Also it's depressingly the best Doctor Who game out there I'm not kidding

[@monotaroleader7805]

I think the main issue of Dimensions is that is ‘just’ a Lego game. You can buy other Lego games that mostly have the same gameplay as Dimensions but with all the characters unlocked. Dimensions has some fun gimmicks that use the portal but its not enough to justify spending hundreds to unlock everything. The main game was nearly £100 at launch which is also far too much, especially compared to Disney Infinity and Skylanders being £60.

[@dr.degenerate610]

Lego dimensions had a more diverse set of characters

[@Lego4LifeProductions]

Not to mention the real life toys were actually useful. Got some characters from that game that would have never otherwise been made!

I'm surprised that when talking about the traps in trap team he didn't mention the Kaos trap and the sole fact that you spent like 10 bucks for a piece of plastic that let's you play as one villian for a short period of time. The rest of the traps were themed around the other elements and you could collect multiple different villians with them which was the whole point of it in the first place yet this trap was only used for Kaos and imagine beating the game which at first wasn't easy and then finding out opps I need to buy another trap to be able to collect Kaos which means having to replay the boss again to have another shot of doing it. Even as a kid that made me mad.

[@stevenbobbybills]

Kinda hilarious though, in retrospect. Because of COURSE the main villain couldn't just be a dark type character or whatever the fuck the evil purple one was.

“I have two birthdays” Oh my god. Scott just fixed his own continuity “error”. In the Mario Party video, Rex said his birthday was on January 27, but in Borderline Forever he said his birthday was “today”.

@@user-od9oj3pf7q yeah cause it was too expensive and such a waste like he said when you could've gotten Lego Batman 2 which had a ton of characters plus free roam which was a huge thing back then since it was the first Lego game which incorporated that mind you that ofc it had bugs like annoying enemies spawning 24/7 even after you got a golden brick you couldn't move so you'd die and lose coins also when playing multiplayer if one player decides to switch the other must wait also the flying was kinda meh gladly all that was fixed in Lego marvel superheroes now in free roam enemies didn't spawn 24/7 and only in specific times, flying was so much better the controls in general where a blast not to mention it wasn't a huge cliffhanger like Lego Batman 2 cause imo they marketed it as a justice league type of game but was mostly Batman and Superman comes in which was funny but still sucked how it ended on just braniac coming soon and the justice league helping just in the end so if you wanted to know what happens next get Lego Batman 3 lmao also in marvel superheroes when playing Multiplayer if a player decides to switch characters in free roam the other one can still do whatever they where doing also an infinite amount of vehicles and a dope fan service imo so yeah no wonder Lego dimensions was a flop tbh

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

I agree and disagree. The concept had potential (as every Toys to Life game does) and I'll admit, even if I didn't have the game (simply because at the time I didn't even have a console, the only thing close to a console I had was a 3ds), some of the level packs interested me because they were things I never thought we'd see. Stuff like the Sonic pack, Doctor Who pack and Portal pack.

[@LordArikado]

Lego Dimensions was a great concept for a Toys to Life game, but the fact that it's essentially yet another Lego Star Wars-style Lego game but with tons of stuff gated behind real-world figures killed my interest in it. At the very least, they should have offered microtransactions to unlock the other characters and sets without having to buy the physical figures, and balance it so the figures were cheaper while a hypothetical digital purchase would be more expensive so there was still an incentive to get the figures.

[@Runescapeguides110]
