“Quiver with Fear!”

    —Heartbreaker Buckshot's official catchphrase

Heartbreaker Buckshot is an unreleased Valentine's Day counterpart of Buckshot in Skylanders: Imaginators.

Background

Biography

When Buckshot was young, he and his siblings were banished to the Magic Realm of Mysterious Mazes by an evil Spell Punk that wanted to rid Skylands of all Sky-Fauns. Buckshot spent years looking for a way out, but found no way to escape the enchanted labyrinth. Over time, however, the magic of the realm began to grow within him, strengthening his already formidable powers. While his siblings had lost all hope of freedom, Buckshot continued to test the boundaries of the maze, using his mystical bow and arrows to try to penetrate the walls around him. Eventually, Buckshot’s powers became so potent that he even learned how to teleport. With this new ability, he was finally able to open a portal back into Skylands and free his siblings. Now as a Sensei of the Bowslinger class, Buckshot always keeps one eye on the target – and the other on the lookout for the Spell Punk that had banished him!

Trivia

• Despite being a Valentines' Day themed figure, he wasn't released during the game's lineup which included two instances of Valentines' Day. The reason is because according to Toys For Bob QA Manager Christopher Bruno, Heartbreaker Buckshot looked “too evil” for Valentine's Day.
• This also makes him the only figure that was advertised in the main website to be never released in any form, however, after his supposed release date, the page was removed.
  • While his page was online on the official website for a time during 2016-2017, it was later removed. In 2021, Heartbreaker Buckshot's page was temporarily restored until the Skylanders website shut down in March.
• There are two known existing prototypes of Heartbreaker Buckshot, both of which are owned by Christopher Bruno.
• Had he appeared in the final game, he would have been the fourth Valentine's day in-game variant (the first being Cupid Flameslinger, the second being Love Potion Pop Fizz and the third being Charming Cobra Cadabra).
  • He would've been the only Valentine variant with red eyes rather than light blue, which oddly were the cause for his cancellation.
