Chase Variant

Chase Variants are uncommon versions of Skylanders that are recast in rare or interesting colors or textures, like gold, glittery, fuzzy or crystal clear. These figures usually will have little paint applications - if any - typically reserved for the character's eyes. These variants will commonly start at Level 5 with 2100 Gold. Starting with the variants introduced in Skylanders: Giants, Chase Variants will also appear as "Special" or "Rare” when they are placed on the Portal of Power.

Trivia

• Translucent Red Camo and Crystal Whirlwind were released two years after Spyro's Adventure during restocks of the figures alongside the release of Skylanders: Swap Force.
  • Despite the fact these figures were released after the games began to assign Chase Variant Skylanders with the 'Special' or 'Rare' tag, neither of them have it, making them functionally identical to their Series 1 counterparts.
• The Skylander Sidekicks that were distributed as part of two Frito-Lay promotions were later given the distinction of 'Special' as of Skylanders: Trap Team to further diffirentiate them from their Mini counterparts.
  • The Sidekicks are the only figures from the Spyro's Adventure toyline to have the 'Special' tag.
• Battlegrounds Double Trouble is a rerelease of Series 2 Double Trouble with the series 1 counterpart's figure. This toy was released exclusively in the Skylanders: Battlegrounds starter pack in regions that did not receive the Royal Double Trouble figure. It is also sometimes referred to as 'Series 1.5 Double Trouble' by the fanbase.
  • Battlegrounds Double Trouble does not act any differently from the regular Series 2 release, does not register as 'Special' or 'Rare, and the figure is identical to the Series 1 version but with an orange base in place of green. As such it is the only playable Chase Variant not part of the Spyro's Adventure toyline to not have the 'Special' or 'Rare' tag.
  • Battlegrounds Double Trouble did receive a unique character card.
• Happy Birthday Ben! Starcast was a figure specially produced in an incredibly limited run for Tom Brady's son, Benjamin. Brady is a personal friend of Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision Blizzard, who organised the figure's production for Ben's 7th birthday. There were only enough figures made for the party and a few that went to employees of the core Skylanders development team. As such, this toy is thought to be one of the rarest - if not THE rarest - Skylander figure to ever be produced.
