Skylanders Skyrim Mash up

Skyrimlanders. Or is it Skylandrim?

The younger set takes on The Elder Scrolls and Spyro the Dragon faces the Dovahkiin

Our sons might be too old for Skylanders, and technically too young for Skyrim. 

But we are all pretty confused at this point about what is age appropriate.  

Our older son claims that he has been playing Skyrim in a mod that turns all the dragons into Thomas the Tank Engine, but I have not personally observed this.

If there is one for Thomas, there should definitely be a Skylanders mod for the Elder Scrolls, but I don't know if such a thing exists. Although purple Spyro would seem to be the Barney of the Skyrim dragon universe. I considered drawing the "Dark Spyro" version of the character, where he looks more serious in black and silver. 

But I decided if I were going to mash up the two games that Spyro should be in his more colorful, child friendly form. 

Dark Spyro, Jellaby and Toothlesss

Sandwiched between Skylanders' Dark Spyro and Dreamworks Dragons: Riders of Berk's Toothless, Jellaby might be concerned about whether he actually qualifies as a dragon.

Ansel tells me that he is making a book at school today about dragons, and he wanted to include these three.  Archer pointed out that Jellaby is a monster and not necessarily a dragon, but Ansel wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.  

Ninjago Kai and Skylanders Dark Spyro

Today it is Ninjago and Skylander: Of course, Kai is wearing his last episode outfit while riding Dark Spyro.

DragonVale Rainbow and Skylanders Spyro Dragons

We debated what would be the ideal combination of DragonVale and Skylander characters.  Archer convinced me and Ansel that the hue and rhyming names of Rainbow and Spyro made the most sense.  I was so sure about the compatibility of the personalities, or the relative sizes, for that matter.

Dark Spyro from Skylanders and Shadow the Hedgehog

 

After listening to his older brother discuss Skylanders non stop over the weekend, Ansel requested one of his own on a napkin. This despite not wanting to play the game himself.

Dark Spyro from Skylanders and Toothless

Two dark dragons on one napkin: Dark Spyro irritates Toothless, perhaps? 

While I have seen a good bit of the Dreamworks dragon franchise, I am not very familiar with the various personalities of the Skylanders.

Dark Spyro From Skylanders

Dark Spyro from Skylanders: my kids' latest unfulfilled expensive obsession. This napkin actually went to school today despite Sandy's aftermath, although most of Ansel's teachers will not be there to see it.
