Toys

Kre-O

• Skimmer (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2014)
  • Collection: Age of Extinction Collection 2
  • Accessories: Logo-brick, buildable axe

Part of the sixth regular assortment of blind-bagged Kre-O Micro-Changers, Skimmer is a Kreon minifigure that can be rebuilt into a flying reptile-like thing.

Unlike prior Micro-Changer assortments, this series does not have any sort identification code for the bags' actual contents, meaning you'd best be good at the feel-though-the-bag method.

This assortment was originally slated to be a Toys"R"Us exclusive, but US stores dropped the line before its release. It was still available in Canada, Australia and Chinese/Asian markets. In 2015, the Collection appeared in US Dollar Tree stores, with a price tag of a whopping $1 a pop. They didn't last long.

Notes

• For no discernible reason, the sixth wave of Micro-Changers contained original beastformer characters Skimmer and Frostbite.
• With no bio or fiction appearances as an individual Kreon, Skimmer's gender was unknown until Beast Wars: Uprising made Skimmer female.
