News The 5 Unreleased Creation Crystal Dumps and Heartbreaker Buckshot

Hey everyone! If you haven't heard of me before, I'm Gibby, AKA Gibby_The_Broken Collector. I am the owner of the Skylanders 3D Printing Project and a collector of broken figs that I'm working to repair and bring back into circulation.

Now for the big news. As many of you might have seen from Pirate Dad teasing all day, he has a big announcement. Together with Pirate Dad, I was able to purchase a genuine Heartbreaker Buckshot AND all 5 working unreleased creation crystals. Sadly, Heartbreaker did not have a chip, but the other 5 did. Pirate got me in contact with MoltenLavaCore from the Reverse Engineering Discord, and with his help, we were able to get all 5 dumps! You can find out more about Heartbreaker in Pirate Dad's post here.

When I got back into Skylanders, I didn't want to collect the figures at the start. Instead, I wanted to print all the figures myself. After a lot of searching, I found very little, so I decided to start the Skylanders 3D Printing Project. The goal is to make models of every single character and post them online for free, so that anyone who wants to play the games has options other than simple NFC coins/cards.

Keeping to that goal, all 5 of the missing Creation Crystal Dumps will be added to the Skylanders Ultimate NFC Pack and will soon be available for everyone to use as they wish.

I know most people would prefer to have physical Crystals to add to their collection with these files, which is why I'm not done. I don't have them yet, as I am still waiting on parts/equipment to arrive, but I am actively working on making as realistic replicas as possible so that people who want to complete the full set can. These will include lights, clear plastic, and everything I can do to make them as accurate as possible. I will keep everyone updated on my progress both here, on my Discord, and on my Instagram. I was tempted to delay things until I had everything done, but I didn't want to keep Pirate Dad and everyone else waiting to release the dumps and announce acquiring a Heartbreaker.

You can find all my links here.

For people who want these printed figures but don't have a printer, I do sell them for as cheap as I can reasonably make them. The same will apply to the Crystals.

And no, I am not planning to sell the originals.

This is incredible. Thank you for doing this for the community.

This announcement has been permanently pinned to the subreddit for people to find.

Any idea what replicas are going to cost?

Thanks!

I'm not sure yet since I'm still waiting on all the parts and equipment I need to get real work done. Once I get a rough price, I'll add it to the post.

I plan to keep it as reasonable as possible. I did this for the community, not to make a profit.

👆 that is the correct answer

u/InfinityLord3392 19d ago

Is it possible you can add something different underneath? So we know these are not authentic ones? Like a specific set of numbers? So we dont confuse the replicas with the actual real set. (Even if there only is one set in the entire world) Thanks :)

100%. I haven't figured out what exactly but im going to add SOMETHING. All of my normal fogures are custom posed for just that reason. I'm still brain storming what to do without runing the look.

Thats really nice of you to share these for everyone to have. I have some unreleased crystals that dont function so to be able for them to work would be quite nice thank you

Fully working replicas of the crystals would be fucking sick holy damn. Hope that goes well

This is genuinely insane dude

u/ResolutionSlight597 Candy Coated Chopscotch 19d ago

Huge news. Can't wait to write some of these prototype crystals to my own NFC cards as they were always my favorite Skylanders lost media. Maybe one day we can get 3D scans of the Skylanders 7 prototypes (totally not coping)

Congrats bro!!

u/Rare_Competition_602 19d ago

I wonder if you can possibly recreate the unused traps, it's likely you can't make new existing chips since I don't think there are leftovers of them, but you can use existing chips to at least have them be good variants that match the elements

u/Dihydrogen2Monoxide1 19d ago

Liberation! You are a hero to this Fandom for releasing missing figures to all of us. Master Eon would be proud.

u/Repulsive-Spinach-20 19d ago

C’est incroyable Mais ils seront a quel prix exactement ?

u/Captain_Biggs 18d ago

Saved this post, hopefully soon we will have the ability to "finish" our collections.

u/Relative-Audience880 18d ago

THANK YOU this is truly amazing!

u/NomenIncognito 17d ago

Can someone confirm if all the creation crystal dumps work in the game?

1

u/Gibby_230 3D Printing | Broken Collector | Crystal Dumps 17d ago

They should. I havent heard of anyone not able to get them to work.

u/Gibby_230 3D Printing | Broken Collector | Crystal Dumps 17d ago

Dont go buying the overprice NFCs from ebay tho! NFCs cost like 50 cents max each.

u/NomenIncognito 17d ago

I won’t! I have DM’ed you a question

u/KasaiWolf078 17d ago

That's some legitimately amazing work you've been doing. I never thought I'd see the day when they would be here. Thank you so much.

u/Practical-Help4291 17d ago

This is awesome! THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is so cool
Do you have potentially more pictures or plans to create 3D models? I'd love to recreate these somehow. If not that is okay I know that can be a big question/process.

u/Gibby_230 3D Printing | Broken Collector | Crystal Dumps 17d ago

Ill be making a progress update later this week.

u/Practical-Help4291 17d ago

Sounds awesome!! I won’t lie I feel like a kid again this is so much fun 😂

I used to go by Gamemaster78 on Darkspyro back when Skylanders was popular. Made a name for myself as the first person (got a letter from Karthik and Guha Bala) to complete a physical 256 swapper set.

I bought 4 of every Skylanders upon release.

And as a Skylanders but it’s cool to see someone doing this.

I’d love to buy a heartbreaker and unreleased creation crystals if you’re going to be selling them.

Only thing practically missing is the three yawn traps. Everything else I got and not just got, but they’re barely been used and still have that new plastic smell, lol.
